Posted: Fri Jun 19, 2015 11:40 pm
What a combination...
Peter Guralnick, probably the most well-informed and well-balanced interpreter-writer of Blues and Rock'nRoll history;
Sam Phillips, one of the most courageous visionaries who promoted Black roots music for the mainstream market;
Guralnick meets Phillips by helping Sam swab out Sun Studio after a flood...and now has completed what's gonna be IMHO the definitive biography. This interview alone's got my Rocket 88 revvin':
