Echo and Twang: Classic Guitar Music of the '50s Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Along with its companion volume 'Fuzz and Feedback: Classic Guitar Music of the '60s', this book provides a richly-illustrated account of electric guitars and their manufacturers from a seminal period in the history of popular music. From the classic to the bizarre, from the familiar to the esoteric, they are all here in big picture and full-colour. Its magazine-type layout and writing approach makes for very easy perusal, providing an entertaining overview of the period and these fascinating time-pieces.
BUT BE WARNED ... this book was previously published in 1996 in hardcover under the title 'Classic Guitars of the '50s'. To the best of my knowledge no mention is made anywhere of this in the write-up.
