The story goes that under the influence of blues and rock and roll,
Britain suddenly started making spectacularly great music in the
1960s like some clever, quick learning cultural satellite of
America. But Britain's mid twentieth-century pop music explosion
didn't happen from a standing start. The reasons something so
dazzling and multifaceted appeareed lie deeper than those legendary
deliveries of blues records to Liverpool's port and the legacy of
music halls. Featuring new discoveries and original insights, Why
Britain Rocked: How Rock became Roll and Took over the World argues
the Beatles' arrival, which stunned the world, really shouldn't
have been surprising at all. From the Celts, Henry VIII, and the
Quakers to Ira Aldridge and Paul Robeson, Why Britain Rocked
uncovers the unique events and unexpected influences that
encouraged British pop to be glorious, crazy, luminous, joyous,
profound, melancholic, ferocious, anarchic, witty, smart and
wonderful in all its ways.
