Turn! Turn! Turn!: The '60s Folk-rock Revolution Book

Taking its title from a folk song that became a folk-rock hit, Turn! Turn! Turn! chronicles the evolution in the 1960s of a new form of popular music that blended poetic lyricism, social awareness, and rock and roll rebellion. The book?s rich narrative weaves the stories of folk-rock innovators: Bob Dylan, the Byrds, the Lovin? Spoonful, Buffalo Springfield, Simon and Garfunkel, and dozens more, plus lesser-knowns such as Phil Ochs and Jackie DeShannon. This comprehensive portrait of folk-rock as an instrument of musical and social change contains over 100 interviews with Roger McGuinn, Donovan, Judy Collins, John Sebastian, Arlo Guthrie, and others. From the music?s folk roots, to the night Dylan ?went electric? at the Newport Folk Festival, to Woodstock, this book reveals how a generation found its voice and changed popular music and culture forever. 30 black-and-white photographs are included.
