Reviews
"Mr. Mazor discusses the evolution of American music and intricacies of music publishing with equal authority. He likewise brings impressive clarity and cohesion to considering the big-picture nexus of culture, commerce and evolving technology in which Peer's saga unfolds. He tells this complex, intertwined story with ample substance for serious scholars while also making his book welcoming and accessible for neophytes." -- The Wall Street Journal "A complex, fascinating story told by Mazor, a seasoned music-business commentator, with skill, clarity and zest." -- MOJO Magazine "Mazor's extensive research, including access to hours of archival interview tapes of Peer, sheds new light on this important yet little known person who affected so much of the music we all listen to today." --Country Standard Time, "Musicians know who Ralph Peer was, and now his life and contributions to our nation's music are made available to all of us in Barry Mazor's wonderful and absorbing biography. Mazor [...] has given us a beautifully written portrait of an utterly fascinating man. One is continually astonished at how a shipping clerk from Independence, Mo., at various junctions in his life, made decisions that transformed American music by bringing new artists and forms of music -- from country, blues and bluegrass to early rock 'n' roll -- to millions of citizens who had not yet encountered them." -- New York Times , "The world has been waiting for this! Ralph Peer is surely the most fascinating character in American vernacular music business history, and I personally thank him, since I otherwise would have been sacking groceries in El Segundo, or parking cars in Pacoima all these years. Mazor does a spectacular job weaving together the threads of Peer's discoveries in blues, jazz, country, and Latin. You will be amazed! I can't recommend this book strongly enough." -- Ry Cooder, "The musical road that runs through the work of Ralph Peer is a cultural highway that many genres ride on today. His story of pioneering the hustle of sound and style is a blueprint right to this digital age, as this book shows. It's a wonderful read." - Chuck D, Public Enemy, "Mr. Mazor discusses the evolution of American music and intricacies of music publishing with equal authority. He likewise brings impressive clarity and cohesion to considering the big-picture nexus of culture, commerce and evolving technology in which Peer's saga unfolds. He tells this complex, intertwined story with ample substance for serious scholars while also making his book welcoming and accessible for neophytes." -- The Wall Street Journal "A complex, fascinating story told by Mazor, a seasoned music-business commentator, with skill, clarity and zest." -- MOJO Magazine, "This is an overwhelming book about an overwhelming character in the music field, a true visionary, who realized the potential power of common music long before anyone else - and who transformed the lives of many of those artists whom he recorded. We owe Barry Mazor a debt of gratitude for telling Peer's incredible life story, his monumental accomplishments, putting them all in one place, and bringing them to the light." - Bob Dylan , "Ralph Peer was there first to discover and record roots music before anyone else. This remarkable man brought that legacy to the world, nurturing the early country, blues, jazz, and Latin artists. It's all in this book. Dive in and be awed." - Donovan, "Mr. Mazor discusses the evolution of American music and intricacies of music publishing with equal authority. He likewise brings impressive clarity and cohesion to considering the big-picture nexus of culture, commerce and evolving technology in which Peer's saga unfolds. He tells this complex, intertwined story with ample substance for serious scholars while also making his book welcoming and accessible for neophytes." -- The Wall Street Journal "A complex, fascinating story told my Mazor, a seasoned music-business commentator, with skill, clarity and zest." -- MOJO Magazine, "Ralph Peer's true importance in American music is rarely understood outside of the music business, but Barry Mazor's book draws a compelling portrait of Peer as business innovator, music scout, and publishing executive, detailing his visionary pursuit of musical riches in previously unexplored rural America and Latin America-yielding a body of recorded blues, country, and pop that are the foundations of American musical culture." - Laura Cantrell, "The world has been waiting for this! Ralph Peer is surely the most fascinating character in American vernacular music business history, and I personally thank him, since I otherwise would have been sacking groceries in El Segundo, or parking cars in Pacoima all these years.

He tells this complex, intertwined story with ample substance for serious scholars while also making his book welcoming and accessible for neophytes." -- The Wall Street Journal, "I am of the tradition of Irish-Scots folk music that travelled over to America from the 1700's into the 1900's and became the major influence on American music. Ralph Peer was there first to discover and record it before anyone else. This remarkable man gave roots music to the world, nurturing the early country, blues, jazz, and Latin artists. It's all in this book. Dive in and be awed." - Donovan Leitch, "The world has been waiting for this!

We owe Barry Mazor a debt of gratitude for telling Peer's incredible life story, his monumental accomplishments, putting them all in one place, and bringing them to the light." -- Bob Dylan , "Mazor's book rolls along at a swift and radio-friendly tempo, supplying invaluable detail on Peer's achievements and the vision that drove them." -- Paste magazine, "Mazor, a music and business journalist and the author of a book about Rodgers, has given us a beautifully written portrait of an utterly fascinating man. One is continually astonished at how a shipping clerk from Independence, Mo., at various junctions in his life, made decisions that transformed American music by bringing new artists and forms of music -- from country, blues and bluegrass to early rock 'n' roll -- to millions of citizens who had not yet encountered them." -- New York Times

Synopsis
This is the first biography of Ralph Peer, the adventurous-even revolutionary-A&R man and music publisher who saw the universal power locked in regional roots music and tapped it, changing the breadth and flavor of popular music around the world. It is the story of the life and fifty-year career, from the age of cylinder recordings to the stereo era, of the man who pioneered the recording, marketing, and publishing of blues, jazz, country, gospel, and Latin music. The book tracks Peer's role in such breakthrough events as the recording of Mamie Smith's "Crazy Blues" (the record that sparked the blues craze), the first country recording sessions with Fiddlin' John Carson, his discovery of Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family at the famed Bristol sessions, the popularizing of Latin American music during World War II, and the postwar transformation of music on the airwaves that set the stage for the dominance of R&B, country, and rock 'n' roll. But this is also the story of a man from humble midwestern beginnings who went on to build the world's largest independent music publishing firm, fostering the global reach of music that had previously been specialized, localized, and marginalized. Ralph Peer redefined the ways promising songs and performers were identified, encouraged, and promoted, rethought how far regional music might travel, and changed our very notions of what pop music can be., This is the first biography of Ralph Peer, the adventurous even revolutionary A&R man and music publisher who saw the universal power locked in regional roots music and tapped it, changing the breadth and flavor of popular music around the world.
