About this title

Synopsis

This volume is a print resource guide to the music-making legends of the mid-20th century. It begins with an extended essay that connects John Fogerty and his Creedence Clearwater Revival bandmates to the originating chain of '50s rockers as well as to the post-'60s inheritors of the rock tradition. Next, the text presents a brief listing of '40s and early '50s performers who contributed significantly to the roots of rock 'n' roll music. What follows throughout the text is a bibliographic salute to the recording legends of '50s music, plus an acknowledgement of the most important non-recording professional figures of the same period. Finally, "The Keepers of The Rock 'N' Roll Flame" are enumerated. All persons listed within this text are identified by bibliographic references to either recent print commentaries or important historical literary analyses. Obviously, abbreviated cyber references are also available via the Internet concerning all individuals mentioned in this text. The lengthy "Appendices" provide reviews of recent books or sound recordings that focus on the impact of '50s musicians. Significant songs are also highlighted in two greatest hits discographies. Finally, an extensive "General Bibliography" concludes this print resource guide.
