In Mavericks of Sound: Conversations with the Artists Who Shaped
Indie and Roots Music, music scholar David Ensminger offers a
collection of vivid and compelling interviews with legendary roots
rock and indie artists who bucked mainstream trends and have
remained resilient in the face of enormous shifts in the music
world. As the success of the concerts at Austin City Limits have
revealed, the fan bases and crowds for indie and roots music often
blur and overlap. In Mavericks of Sound, Ensminger brings to light
the highways and byways trod by these music icons over the course
of their careers and the ways in which their music-making has been
affected by, and influenced, the burgeoning indie and roots music
movements. Ranging from seminal modern singer-songwriters to
rockabilly renegades and indie rockers, Mavericks of Sound features
a set of broad, penetrating, and insightful conversations imbued
with a sense of musical history and heritage. Ensminger captures
firsthand accounts from singer songwriters like Texas Country
musician Tom Russell and first wave indie artist and folk rocker
Peter Case; rockabilly artists Junior Brown and the Reverend Horton
Heat; American indie rock icons such as 11th Dream Day's Janet
Bean, Pere Ubu's Dave Thomas, Apples in Stereo's Robert Schneider,
and Swans members Michael Gira and Jarboe; English and New Zealand
figures such as folk legend Richard Thompson, The Clean's David
Kilgour and The Waterboys' Mike Scott; and folk, country and rock
legends such as Merle Haggard, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Ralph
Stanley, Neko Case, and Yo La Tengo. Mavericks of Sound is the
perfect work for contemporary indie, roots, Americana, country, and
folk music fans who want to understand the unique artistry and
unbound passion behind America's musical innovators that readily
broke and remolded rules.
