Rock Odyssey: A Chronicle of the Sixties
4 journalers for this copy...
Product Description
In 1965, Ian Whitcomb's novelty rocker "You Turn Me On" was number eight on the national charts, along with entries from the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Beach Boys. In 1966 he was nowheresville - a certified rock 'n' roll flash in the pan. It is, then, with a survivor's humor that he tells both his and rock's story from its beginnings in the late fifties to 1969, the year of Woodstock and psychedelic dreams of universal peace and love. Here is the saga of the British Invasion, the genesis of folk rock, the blooming of Flower Power, the Summer of Love and the inner workings of the pop music biz, brought to life by a true insider who is also an uninhibitedly acute observer.

This looks great! Thank you, Perryfran. I hope the print isn't too small for me to read comfortably. (eyes are getting older.)
Pretty good: rather lengthy. I think for those who want to learn more about the '60's, it gives you a lot of details, clues and opinions to follow up on. Took a break from it for a while, then came back to it and it was fun again.
