Commentaries on nearly 40 recording artists and composers detail the urban roots of America's rock revolution. Clearly there was a positive and productive integration of experienced and inexperienced performers across the highways and back streets of Chicago, Memphis, New Orleans, and New York City. Blues, R&B, pop, rockabilly, and novelty styles intersected among the hit recordings of Junior Parker, Rufus Thomas, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, The Drifters, The Coasters, Allen Toussaint, and Frankie Ford. Each artist profiled in this volume is introduced by a brief essay that examines either a specific CD release or a commonly pursued lyrical topic. Lists of hit singles, hit albums, and biographical print materials are also provided. The text concludes with a compilation of print publications on metropolitan music centers and American popular culture. Read more
