Product Description

Review
"Wondrich never lets his knowledge of historical minutiae get in the way of a good story." -- Downbeat. "A lovingly written account." -- Esquire. " A cool book... bringing alive the deepest roots of American rock, R&B and rap. " -- Discoveries. "Provides good guidance as the music gets hotter." -- Booklist. "Entertaining and engaging." -- Library Journal. "Appealingly irreverent." -- Chicago Reader. "A hot book about hot music... with a rare ear for its subject." -- Seattle Weekly. "Music book of the year? Probably 'Stomp and Swerve'." -- Austin American-Statesman. "Wondrich's own passion is infectious enough to make the reader retrieve the old marching band horn from the attic." -- Shepherd Express. "Groundbreaking." -- Robert Christgau, The Believer. "Saucy." -- The Village Voice. "Highly logical and entertaining... No other author has done a better job of putting all the pieces together." -- The New York Sun.
