Book Reviews of Good Rockin' Tonight: Sun Records and the Birth of Rock 'N' Roll
Book Review: Early R and R
Summary: 3 Stars
This Book is especially interesting if you were listening to the radio, as I was, in the time period described. Though, Unlike Sam Phillips, I didn't abandon the early R& B artists when Elvis came on the scene. Always felt that Elvis's music was inferior the early R& Bers. There are details, that I didn't know, of the unraveling of Jerry Lee Lewis's first career, when he married his 13 year old cousin. Also mention is made of the relationship between "The Killer" and Jimmy Swaggart. Interesting ancedote about how Johnny Cash came down for the Historic "Million Dollaer quartet" photo, then left immediately. 4 Stars is a little high for this review, but three stars would be a little low.
