Rock & Roll History At It's Best !, March 10, 2011
This review is from: The Rock 'N' Roll Age: The Music, the Culture, the Generation (Hardcover)
Mike Evans is a Brit who's been a musician & broadcaster as well as a writer. In this volume he starts with "the roots of rock" spawned in the 40's and carries its history to the time of the "British Invasion" of 1964.
On the way, this journey takes you through not only the music, but also the cultural & generational progression of our society: movies, books, politics, cars, advertising, news headlines...it's all covered, as well as how we sometimes connect it to music, and how it all shapes and changes the world we live in.
If you have a personal library, love music - especially Rock & Roll - and want to read about our American History of R&R as viewed through the eyes of a knowledgeable, well-traveled Englishman, this IS a book you need for your collection !
