If you are a modern music fan; love how the evolution of a song takes place...a MUST READBy Carl L. AndersonThis book is a MUST for everyone who follows modern music and its evolution...where it all comes from; how Celtic and African music came together and created Blues; which lead to Rock and how it all just keeps on changing and changing but somehow still stays the same...a fabulous book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
