Book Reviews of Record Makers and Breakers: Voices of the Independent Rock 'n' Roll Pioneers (Music in American Life)
Book Review: Absolutely Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
I knew someting about this topic before I read this book , but I was not prepared for how thorough and interesting this book was going to be. Totally blown away. So well researched and presented. Learned so much I did not know. Very well documented with footnotes. I took copious notes while reading it. Beautifully written as well. My only regret is that I could not have sat in with the author when he was interviewing these great independent record makers. I'm envious. My highest recommendation, and a book that was highly recommended to me by the world's biggest Doo Wop collector.
