Produktbeschreibungen

From Booklist

Once, they sold out stadium shows, topped sales charts, indulged all manner of excess, and married movie stars. They were southern rockers, players of "soulful, primal-rhythm anthems to hard living and problematic romance" and "good-time, no-holds-barred celebrations of both stoic independence and bar-hopping camaraderie." Finding precise criteria for who is and isn't a southern rocker rather eel-ly, Brant finally settles on music and sensibility rather than geographical origins. So Black Oak Arkansas isn't (it doesn't fit musically, and singer Jim Dandy Mangrum is from Michigan, f' God's sake), but Charlie Daniels (band and man), .38 Special, and Wet Willie get the nod. The Marshall Tucker Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and the Allman Brothers get the most attention in Brant's chronological history that avoids dirt, "undue criticism," and lingering over trivialities (Gregg Allman's dalliance with Cher is barely mentioned). Critical Brant isn't. Still, he notes the bands' exuberant behavior and many vehicular casualties, though not luridly. A good addition to the pop music history shelves. Mike Tribby

Being a fan of Marley Brant's books on the Younger and James Gangs, I ordered her new book, SOUTHERN ROCKERS as soon as it was offered. (Even though I fall into the category of Damn Yankee!) Also having been a fan of many of the musicians and groups for years, I was anxious to get some insights into their personalities and their worlds. Fasten your safety belts - it is a wild ride of fame, fortune, interrelationships, vulnerability, love and tragedy - all written in fine style and with Marley Brant's talent for ferreting out the intimate and fascinating details of the world of Southern Rock. Her obvious passion for music translated itself to her subjects and to the people she interviewed - they pour out their hearts to her, entrusting her with information that would never be revealed to us, had it not been for her insightful and penetrating mind. Her research abilities are par excellent - mix all of this together for the ingredients of a book that will take you on roads that are smooth and bumpy and scenery that is sometimes sordid and many times spectacular, but they all lead to a thoroughly enjoyable reading experience. Marley Brant is truly one of our GREATEST authors on Americana! Highly recommend!

Some tasty tidbits here. Still, the author's decision to exclude Black Oak Arkansas as not being "southern" enough is puzzling. Heck, they played a rousing version of "Dixie" at their concerts and deeded Arkansas land to fans in their albums. That alone should be enough...

I found the book very enjoyable and informative. I believe I found a minor mistake though; "Georgia Peaches" is not on the original "Street Survivors" album, unless I am reading it wrong, page 179 indicates it is. Some portions of the book do tend to jump from one area to another without warning. Overall, the book has great stories and ties the various bands together well. This is a must for anyone interested in Southern rockers. Nice job Marley!
