Written in 1968 and revised in 1972; Awopbopaloobop Alopbamboom was the first book to celebrate the language and the primal essence of rock n roll. But it was much more than that. It was a cogent history of an unruly era; from the rise of Bill Haley to the death of Jimi Hendrix. And while telling outrageous tales; vividly describing the music; and cutting through the hype; Nik Cohn would engender a new literary form: rock criticism. In his books wake; rock criticism has turned into a veritable industry; and the world of music has never been the same. Now this seminal history of rock n rolls evolution is available once moremdash;as riotous a spree as any in rock writing.
