In his new book, "How America's Original Roots Music Heroes Changed the Pop Sounds of the Century," author and music historian Craig Morrison tells the stories of these forgotten pioneers. He traces their influences from the rural juke joints of the Mississippi Delta to the urban folk clubs of Greenwich Village, from the Appalachian Mountains to the honky-tonks of Texas. Through their stories, Morrison shows how these artists shaped the sound of American music and helped create the soundtrack of the 20th century.
Morrison's book is a fascinating and important read for anyone interested in the history of American music. It is a reminder that the music we love today would not be possible without the contributions of these unsung heroes. Here are just a few of the stories you'll find in the book:
- How the bluesman Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads
- How the folk singer Woody Guthrie wrote "This Land Is Your Land" as a protest song against poverty and injustice
- How the bluegrass musician Bill Monroe created the "bluegrass sound" that would influence countless musicians, from Elvis Presley to Led Zeppelin
- How the rock 'n' roll pioneer Chuck Berry wrote some of the most iconic songs in American music history, including "Johnny B. Goode" and "Roll Over Beethoven"
These are just a few of the stories that Morrison tells in his book. "How America's Original Roots Music Heroes Changed the Pop Sounds of the Century" is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn more about the history of American music.
