Bear Family Quality,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: All Roots Lead to Rock: Legends of Early Rock 'n' Roll (Book & CD) (Hardcover)
If you own any of the Bear Family label's CD collections, you know why they're worth the expense. Meticulous is an apropos word for the CDs as well as this book. Not as irreverent as some other rock books on 1950s artists, but not too monotone, either. Lots of interesting info that even longtime rock lit readers should appreciate. Check it out and then browse some of BF's CD offerings...
