Born in a Car Crash

Book Description
"Born In A Car Crash" serves as a guide to 1950s and 60s rhythm and blues 45s - artifacts of an incredibly fertile period of American musical history and culture. Never before in US history had so many musicians struck out on their own; moving to unknown cities to pursue careers, record and release music themselves, and in the process cultivating scenes across the nation that remain foundational in the development of American music as we know it. Many of these musicians - who often times couldn't walk in the front door of the segregated clubs they'd be booked to play in - weren't necessarily famous in their lifetime, but are often credited as major inspirations for many big names in music that most people would recognize: Elvis Presley, etc. etc. "Born In A Car Crash" aims to highlight essential tracks from an era of profound creativity and shine a light on the musicians, producers, and labels that leveraged everything they had to create music for the people. It is more important than ever to hear, share, and dance to these songs, ensuring that younger generations learn about the music, people, and stories that spawned what they're listening to today.

Born to Be Wild
Author: Randy D. McBee
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469622734
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
In 1947, 4,000 motorcycle hobbyists converged on Hollister, California. As images of dissolute bikers graced the pages of newspapers and magazines, the three-day gathering sparked the growth of a new subculture while also touching off national alarm. In the years that followed, the stereotypical leather-clad biker emerged in the American consciousness as a menace to law-abiding motorists and small towns. Yet a few short decades later, the motorcyclist, once menacing, became mainstream. To understand this shift, Randy D. McBee narrates the evolution of motorcycle culture since World War II. Along the way he examines the rebelliousness of early riders of the 1940s and 1950s, riders' increasing connection to violence and the counterculture in the 1960s and 1970s, the rich urban bikers of the 1990s and 2000s, and the factors that gave rise to a motorcycle rights movement. McBee's fascinating narrative of motorcycling's past and present reveals the biker as a crucial character in twentieth-century American life.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 390
Book Description
Pioneer. Congressman. Martyr of the Alamo. King of the Wild Frontier. As with all great legends, Davy Crockett's has been retold many times. Over the years, he has been repeatedly reinvented by historians and popular storytellers.

In the road-trip tradition of Sarah Vowell and Tony Horwitz, Thompson follows Crockett's footsteps from his birthplace in east Tennessee to Washington, where he served three terms in Congress, and on to Texas and the gates of the Alamo, seeking out those who know, love, and are still willing to fight over Davy's life and legacy. Born on a Mountaintop is more than just a bold new biography of one of the great American heroes. Thompson's rich mix of scholarship, reportage, humor, and exploration of modern Crockett landscapes bring Davy Crockett's impact on the American imagination vividly to life.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 528
Book Description
In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl's half-time show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That's how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to these pages the same honesty, humour, and originality found in his songs. He describes growing up Catholic in Freehold, New Jersey, amid the poetry, danger, and darkness that fueled his imagination, leading up to the moment he refers to as "The Big Bang": seeing Elvis Presley's debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. He vividly recounts his relentless drive to become a musician, his early days as a bar band king in Asbury Park, and the rise of the E Street Band. With disarming candour, he also tells for the first time the story of the personal struggles that inspired his best work, and shows us why the song "Born to Run" reveals more than we previously realized.
