Chicano Soul -- Recordings & History Of An American Culture

Out Of Stock

A tremendous look at an under-documented genre -- the huge wave of Chicano soul that sprung up from LA, Texas, and other southern spots in the 50s and 60s -- then went onto have a huge impact on wider culture in the mainstream! Although issued on an indie press, this book is top-shelf all the way through -- beautifully packaged, with lots of color images, photos, and other visual bits that are as illuminating as the great writing from Ruben Molina. Molina really knows his music, and takes the whole thing up from its 50s roots into 70s superstardom -- and even finishes the whole thing with a well-done discography at the end! 162 pages, softcover, with lots of images.  © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
