Book Reviews of Sweet Soul Music: Rhythm and Blues and the Southern Dream of Freedom
Book Review: Essential reading in social history
Summary: 5 Stars
A thoroughly delightful book...glad to see it coming back into print. The STAX records story here is every bit as facinating as the earlier Memphis tale of Sun Records. Booker T & the MG's become a model - and a vision - for race relations in America. Also, the discography included is terrific.
Buy it, study it...then crank-up the STAX boxed set.
