These pieces give a good overview of different styles of boogie and blues. They are all very different. Most are appealing, some are truly moving. They are simple, but not meant for beginners.
A worthwhile approach to boogie and blues.

perfect for the intermediate level player
2 Aug 2002
Format:Paperback
A teacher gave this book to me as a child. Now, many years later, I've started playing again and I STILL love this book. The pieces are difficult enough to be interesting, with some sophisticated sounds, yet there are enough downright easy arrangements (3-4 in the beginning of the book) that you shouldn't get too frustrated. This is not a beginning, learning-to-play book, but you don't need to have any background in the blues. My biggest complaint is that most songs do not have the words, even when I know they exist. Some songs have words, and all songs have chords listed. I only recently looked at the back of the book and realized that there are many more in the Joy series. I've tried a few, and so far they are all interesting and right at my level. Also note that there is a Joy of Boogie and Blues, Book 2.

good,but could be improved
21 Aug 2001
Format:Paperback
Good book for beginners-intermediate learners.To be a very good one it lacks,however,a CD with the songs recorded.A reference to the speed in the metronome would also be helpful.
Good variety of pieces
27 Nov 2011
Format:Paperback
As another reviewer wrote, I also received this years ago from my piano teacher and have LOVED it ever since. My favorite piece is Frankie and Johnny. Some of the pieces are quite simple or a little repetitive, but overall there's a good variety of upbeat boogie and slower, blues pieces. I still play from it regularly.
