Rock 'n' Roll Gold Rush

by Maury Dean

This Rock 'n' Roll survey covers 38 of your own "top 40" hits, focusing on every single that broke new ground or topped the charts. It bounces with the excitement of rock music and the vibrant personalities who create it. "Dean (The Rock Revolution, 1967), eschewing traditional boundaries of rock music and focusing on singles rather than albums, recasts popular music of the last century as rock, precursor to rock, or influential on rock. He attempts a thematic rather than chronological approach, although the 42 chapters present a historical flow of sorts. . . . Appropriate wherever music fans like to argue, but best purchased for the circulating collection." CHOICE
