History of Rock

Long before the days of the popular British rock band, a group of boys from Mississippi started the Original Rolling Stones. In those days, the music they played was so new, it was difficult to find it at the record stores or hear it on the radio. Each time they composed a tune, they were creating a new sound, which would become known as rockabilly the precursor to modern day rock. These were the godfathers of rock and roll and this is their behind the scenes story.

Whether you're into rock history, 50s/60s music, or Rolling Stones trivia, this is a must read. The book provides a comprehensive list of all the hit songs for the Rolling Stones and Dawn Breakers, as well as great anecdotes about what life on the road was like in the early days of rock in the deep South. Funny and often irreverent, these first stars invented the bad boy image.
