Foreword by Bob Brunning

Blues-Rock Explosion, the first volume in a series covering sixties rock music, offers fascinating profiles of 42 artist, ranging from the influential and popular Eric Clapton, Mike Bloomfield and Allman Brothers to blues-rock guitar legends Alvin Lee and Ten Years After, Rory
Gallagher and Johnny Winter to lesser-known contributors including Bakerloo and Black Cat Bones.


Blues-Rock Explosion opens a window to the often riveting interpersonal dynamics that shaped and ultimately defined combustible groups like the Yardbirds, Allman Brothers, Cream, the Siegel-Schwall Band and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers-that renowned launching pad for future guitar heroes Mick Taylor, Peter Green and "Slowhand" ( Eric Clapton ) himself. Each profile consists of an historical overview of the artist in question followed by a discography ( complete listing of all recordings).



Customer Reviews

"I received my book (Blues-Rock Explosion) last night. I couldn't put it down. The book is great! I grew up with all of those bands. Some I am more familiar with than others so it is really interesting to see how all the bands developed and where some of my favorites came from. The book is tops if you are interested in the 60's rock music era."
