Flowers In The Dustbin

Hardcover by James Miller. The Rise Of Rock And Roll 1947-1977. These are the sorts of questions that cultural historian and veteran music journalist Jim Miller raises in his challenging new book about the rise- and arrested development- of rock and roll. Concentrating on the music in its early formative decades, he explores how rock and roll was transformed from joyous and sometimes earthy dance music in the 1940s into an abrasive, often angry art music by the end of 1970s.
