Rock’n’Roll Unravelled tells the story of rock’n’roll from its roots to punk in the mid-1970s. Not just the story of the music but also the social events which has a major influence on the music. The Vietnam War, Civil Rights struggle all shaped the music of the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s.
Record Collector magazine’s review of Rock’n’Roll Unravelled described the book as, ” comprehensive… invaluable…”.
Rock’n’Roll Unravelled is structured into three parts:
Part 1: Timeline: A chronological listing of everything in Part 2.
Careers and genres can be seen to grow and fall away. The answer to the question, what else was happening when…?
