Rick Simmons: Carolina Beach Music Compilation Albums, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The Stories Behind the Albums
Carolina beach music--those often-soulful songs about the beach, parties, that special love, dancing or just relaxing in the sun--has long been a mainstay of culture in the Southeast. Yet until the late 1960s, you needed an impressive collection of 45s if you wanted to hear those songs in your home or at a party. But beginning with Atlantic Records' Beach Beat in 1967, that music slowly became available on albums from Bell, Warner Bros., Ripete and other labels. Through interviews and firsthand accounts, author Rick Simmons examines the stories behind those classic albums, the people who created them and the artists and songs that contributed to the phenomenon known as Carolina beach music.
