Synopsis(Guitar Reference). Surf Beat is the first book to tell the story of the birth of surf music, and its persistent survival and reinvention in the face of decades of dismissal as a mere cultural aberration. Conventional wisdom posits that rock 'n' roll languished in the period between 1959 and 1963. Yet in that four-year stretch between Elvis joining the army and Buddy Holly's death, and the emergence of the Beatles, a musical revolution took place in Southern California that would influence all electric guitar forms that followed it. They called it surf music, and in Surf Beat , the genre finally gets its day in the sun. Surf music authority and author Kent Crowley uncovers the story of the initial emergence of surf music as first a local, then a national and international phenomenon, and its subsequent waves of popularity through the ensuing decades., ESurf BeatE is the first book to tell the story of the birth of surf music and its persistent survival and reinvention in the face of decades of dismissal as a mere cultural aberration.THTHConventional wisdom posits that rock 'n' roll languished in the period between 1959 and 1963.

Fascinating history
The book covers in great detail the events and personalities of the surf music wave of the early 60's in Southern California. The book, however, suffers from typos and could be better organized. The editor, if there was one, could have done better.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
