Illustrated History of Rock

The exact date of the birth of rock is unknown. It also doesn't have a single founding father. Rock emerged in America from a mix of blues, jazz, country, rhythm and blues, and other musical styles. Musicians of the 1950s combined these forms and rhythms, not yet realizing that the resulting mix would spark a great revolution. "Illustrated History of Rock" is a book about this revolution. It will tell about bands and performers, the most important songs and albums, festivals and fans, record companies, music magazines, and shows - in short, about everything!
