5.0 out of 5 stars THE official guide to Stax Records, 15 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Soulsville USA (Paperback)
Rob Bowman has captured it all in Soulsville, U.S.A. I challenge anyone to write a more compelling, intelligent, and thorough account of the greatest record label ever. Booker T. and the MGs, Otis Redding, Albert King, Sam and Dave, Rufus Thomas, the Bar-Kays, Isaac Hayes, and the Staples Singers were part of a sound like no other, and Bowman captures every bit of it. With enough technical music insight to intrigue the novice without wasting the expert's time, Bowman tells the inspirational and ultimately saddening story of Stax Records with a reserved passion. Motown was good, but Stax was great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating read for C & W or Rockabilly Fans, 19 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Tattooed on Their Tongues: Journey Through the Backrooms of American Music (Hardcover)
This book is as raw and soulful as the greatest country and rockabilly music gets. Great essays on contemporay stars Dwight Yoakum and Marty Stuart (two of the few "real" artists in today's Garth-in-the-park, yuppiefied, mall rat Urban Country scene). Also, a look at Pat Boone (how could such a soulless singer come from Tennessee!), the great, but sadly forgotten Johnny Horton and an ex-country wannabe who became a segragationist candidate for Govenor of Mississippi.
