Summary:

From the rise of Bill Haley to the death of Jimi Hendrix, this account of music in the 1950s and 1960s is "the definitive history of rock 'n' roll" ( Rolling Stone ). This is British music journalist Nik Cohn's classic and cogent history of an unruly era-filled with outrageous tales and vivid descriptions of the music, and covering artists from Elvis Presley to Eddie Cochran to Bob Dylan to the Beatles and beyond. From the father of what would become a new literary form-rock criticism-this is a seminal history of rock and roll's evolution, including revisions and updates made for a new edition in the early 1970s.
