This vivid celebration of blues and early rock ‘n’ roll includes some of the first and most illuminating profiles of such blues masters as Muddy Waters, Skip James, and Howlin’ Wolf; excursions into the blues-based Memphis rock ‘n’ roll of Jerry Lee Lewis, Charlie Rich, and the Sun record label; and a brilliant depiction of the bustling Chicago blues scene and the legendary Chess record label in its final days. With unique insight and unparalleled access, Peter Guralnick brings to life the people, the songs, and the performance that forever changed not only the American music scene but America itself.
