Blues Fell This Morning is an important publication from 1960, issued by Cassell and written by Paul Oliver. The book examines blues and American folk music spanning the 1920s through the 1950s, offering detailed perspectives on significant historical contexts such as the Great Depression and societal dynamics.
In his work The Rolling Stones: How, Why and Where It All Began, Alan Clayson emphasizes the impact this book had on a young Mick Jagger and his contemporaries, who relied on it to enhance their knowledge of blues traditions. Clayson points out that Oliver's text circulated extensively among the Dartford school group prior to the notable encounter between Jagger and Keith Richards, acting as a key reference alongside other academic studies on the roots of blues music.
A paperback version became available in 1990.
