More American Rock 'n' Roll

Autor Ian Wallis
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 2012
Ian Wallis is a writer and promoter of authentic rock'n'roll music. His previous book, "American Rock'n'Roll: The UK Tours 1956-72", was published by Music Mentor Books in 2003, since when it has become universally accepted as the first serious study of live rock'n'roll music in Britain. Now at last, "More American Rock'n'Roll: The UK Tours 1973-84" is here to continue the story and, as with the first volume, is crammed full of information about every American or Canadian rock'n'roller who visited Britain during that period. Each tour is examined in detail, with data culled from contemporary reports and eyewitness accounts. Extensive research ensures a high level of accuracy and there is a mouth-watering array of rare and unpublished photographs, show programmes, adverts, flyers and tickets to fully reflect the flavour of the time. If you love rock'n'roll, you will wish to relive memories of all those nights spent in hot, sweaty clubs amongst the honking saxes, pounding pianos and twanging guitars. It is 'the greatest music in the world' and all those wonderful memories can be found again within these pages.

Recenzii

Where were you on the evening of the 21 st April 1978? I was seated in the Lewisham Odeon watching the mighty Bo Diddley and the equally mighty Carl Perkins strut their stuff supported by rockabilly band Matchbox. I don't now recall any of the music played that evening (except, rather strangely, I remember Matchbox singing 'Settin' The Woods On Fire') but I bet 'Bo Diddley' and 'Blue Suede Shoes' figured in there somewhere. I now know this thanks to Ian Wallis's 'More American Rock 'N' Roll - The UK Tours 1973-84' which is a sequel to his equally niftily titled 'American Rock 'N' RolI- The UK Tours 1956-72'. Here, Ian details every known gig played in the twelve-year period, listing the artists, the dates, the venues, the tour organiser, the personnel, television appearances and a review of each tour. This isn't a book to read from cover to cover but a great one to dip into as the mood takes you. The first thing I did was to search for the gigs I'd seen and relive some great memories Ian Wallis has put in a tremendous amount of research into this book Fred Rothwell, Blues & Rhythm 272 (September 2012)
