Reviews
"Ward doesn't put in or leave out too much, and his geographical shifts are well-timed... He's especially skilled at describing music that isn't rock 'n' roll in order to provide context to music that is." -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "A dean of rock journalism delivers the first volume of a magnum opus on a subject that never ceases to fascinate...turning up plenty of surprises and fresh insights.... A spry study that should inspire listening with new, and newly informed, ears to old tunes." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review "An excellent introduction to early rock's cast of characters and the music that rocked the world... Ward's delightful book is chock-full of everything there is to know about the history of rock." -- Publishers Weekly "Ward's ambitious opus succeeds in chronicling the first half of the history of rock & roll.... Ward manages to make a coherent narrative--not an insignificant feat--out of this sprawling milieu." -- Booklist "Even for the uninitiated, what makes this history so enlightening and entertaining is the background detail that musicologist, journalist and NPR rock historian Ward brings to the party. In a colloquial, conversational voice, he recounts stories of rock's roots and branches... Ward knows his rock 'n' roll, and this comprehensive history is as entertaining as it is informative." -- Shelf Awareness "Expansive, deeply researched without being pedantic, Ed Ward tells the story of rock and roll as it unfolded in all its glory. A book not only for the cognoscenti but the casual devotee who would like a moment-by-moment timeline of how the music evolved, transcended, and became a force unto itself. A definitive text." -- Lenny Kaye, guitarist, producer of Nuggets, and author of You Call It Madness " Ed Ward tells the complex, unruly history of rock and roll like few other writers can. He deftly separates sacred myths from the often brutal realities while connecting the various styles, races, cities and scenes into a coherent national saga. Mr. Ward writes with rare wisdom, insight and humor but most of all, a passionate love for this still powerful music." --Dave Alvin, Grammy award-winning singer and songwriter and cofounder with his brother Phil of the Blasters, "A dean of rock journalism delivers the first volume of a magnum opus on a subject that never ceases to fascinate...turning up plenty of surprises and fresh insights....

Like his radio segments, the book excels at balancing the essential with the arcane... Ward's vivid anecdotes make the book more fun to read than 98 percent of tomes with 'history' in their title." -- Dallas Morning News "Ward doesn't put in or leave out too much, and his geographical shifts are well-timed...

Synopsis
Ed Ward covers the first half of the history of rock & roll in this sweeping and definitive narrative--from the 1920s, when the music of rambling medicine shows mingled with the songs of vaudeville and minstrel acts to create the very early sounds of country and rhythm and blues, to the rise of the first independent record labels post-World War II, and concluding in December 1963, just as an immense change in the airwaves took hold and the Beatles prepared for their first American tour. The History of Rock & Roll, Volume 1 shines a light on the far corners of the genre to reveal the stories behind the hugely influential artists who changed the musical landscape forever. In this first volume of a two-part series, Ward shares his endless depth of knowledge and through engrossing storytelling hops seamlessly from Memphis to Chicago, Detroit, England, New York, and everywhere in between. He covers the trajectories of the big name acts like Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, and Ray Charles, while also filling in gaps of knowledge and celebrating forgotten heroes such as the Burnette brothers, the "5" Royales, and Marion Keisker, Sam Phillips's assistant, who played an integral part in launching Elvis's career. For all music lovers and rock & roll fans, Ward spins story after story of some of the most unforgettable and groundbreaking moments in rock history, introducing us along the way to the musicians, DJs, record executives, and producers who were at the forefront of the genre and had a hand in creating the music we all know and love today.
