Unknown Legends of Rock'n'Roll [Updated & Expanded E-Book Edition]

Unknown Legends of Rock'n'Roll profiles 75 underappreciated cult rock artists of all styles from the twentieth century, drawing extensively upon first-hand interviews. Originally published in 1998, the e-book edition is about twice as long as the original print edition. Besides adding 15 entirely new chapters, all of the original chapters have been expanded with new interview material, updated research, and expanded discographies. Obscure psychedelic groups, 1960s garage bands, lost British Invasion acts, punk pioneers, folk-rockers, comic rockers, lo-fi mavericks, rowdy rockabillies, one-album artists, mad geniuses -- Unknown Legends covers all those categories and more. From cult legends like Syd Barrett, Nico, Nick Drake, and Love to off-the-radar obscurities like the Mystic Tide and the Blue Things, the most overlooked figures from rock's first few decades are celebrated in detailed depth, the new edition running almost 350,000 words.
