Author Description

Music explodes out of the West Coast! Since the early '60s--and well before the Beatles burst from Liverpool--California has been the centre for all that's best in rock. This is the story of the stars, groups, cults and trends that have emerged from two cities teeming with talent--Los Angeles and San Francisco. The book is divided into three parts, each describing the growth of West Coast music with picture-packed biographies of the superstars who created it.
