Book Reviews of Tattooed on Their Tongues: Journey Through the Backrooms of American Music
Book Review: Excellent, and exhaustive, history of 1 of Soul's best.
Summary: 4 Stars
Bowman's love for the music and personnel of the Stax label is plainly clear as he weaves its exciting, sometimes turbulent, history into a story that is as entertaining as it is informative. The interviews with the involved parties is what makes the book what it is, elevating the history from what could be a dry textbook, to a feel of a story told over dinner. The demise of Stax is truly a heartbreaking story that reflects America's, and specifically the South's, experience of the time. Fantastic work!
