Descriere Turn! Turn! Turn!: The '60's Folk-Rock Revolution - Richie Unterberger

Taking its title from a folk song that became a folk-rock hit, Turn! Turn! Turn! chronicles the evolution in the 1960s of a new form of popular music that blended poetic lyricism, social awareness, and rock and roll rebellion, revealing how a generation found its voice and changed popular music and culture forever. Photos. \nSetting the scene with America's traditional folk of the early '60s, this book describes the sea of change that began in 1964 when the social consciousness of folk met the energy of rock. It concentrates on 1964-66, when the best, most popular, and most controversial folk-rock was created. The book explores the dizzyingly fast cross-fertilization of such giants as The Beatles, The Byrds, and Dylan; the passionate conflicts between folk devotees and folk-rockers; the sudden frenzy of the media; and the unforgettable music that was born. Turn Turn Turn also examines how folk-rock continued to influence late '60s psychedelic rock, country-rock and the British scene, as well as its gradual, partial transformation into the singer-songwriter movement. Based on first-hand interviews with such visionaries as Roger McGuinn, Judy Collins, Donovan, John Sebastian, Arlo Guthrie, Janis Ian and dozens of others.
