A book by Jef Cummings about the revolutionary development of rock music in The Beatles era.
The Rock Renaissance succinctly, informatively, and chronologically describes the development of rock music during ‘The Beatles Era’ (1963-May 1970). The Beatles were responsible for the transformation of popular music in the mid-sixties, including the way songs were written, performed and recorded. The original rock ‘n’ roll had ‘died’, but inspired by The Beatles, rock bands and solo artists began to write and record their own songs and concentrate on producing albums rather than singles. This book covers the most revolutionary, exciting, and creative period of popular music following the introduction of rock ‘n’ roll.
