The area's output cannot be described by a single genre or style. Rather, its music is a kaleidoscope of country, blues, R\u0026amp;B, rockabilly, and rock. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eShreveport Sounds in Black and White\u003c\/i\u003e presents that evolution in a collection of scholarly and popular writing that covers institutions and people who nurtured the musical life of the city and surroundings. The contributions of icons like Leadbelly and Hank Williams, and such lesser-known names as Taylor-Griggs Melody Makers and Eddie Giles come to light.
