"A nostalgic, trivia-laden book that looks at the early years of
rock 'n' roll and the societal context in which it was formed. . .
. A fine compendium on the subject, certain to make misty-eyed all
those who came of age in the 1950s."--Booklist
"[A] perfect bridge between the puff that often characterizes
studies of the period and the scholarly tomes that can bore all but
the dedicated student of the era."--Chattanooga Times
