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.
