A novel of historical facts and magical realism. Blues Power tells the stories of hardship and grief, of love and hate, of dreams realized and lost, and the redemptive healing that comes from music of the soul. Think of this novel as the child of Flannery O' Conner and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Rufus Epps, a son of an ex-slave, acquires land in the Deep South from a dying man. On the land he builds a gigantic barn, which every year on his wedding anniversary becomes the site for a celebration called the night of the blues. Musicians come from all over the nation to compete for the prize money.
