The winner of the 2006 IPPY Award for best non-fiction book from
the South (presented by the Independent Publishers Association),
the Mojo Triangle tells the true story--at long last--of the birth
of the blues, rock 'n' roll, country and jazz! Draw a straight line
from New Orleans to Nashville, then over to Memphis and back down
to New Orleans, following the curves of the Mississippi River, and
you have the Mojo Triangle, a phrase coined by the author in the
early 2000's. "So much of what has been written about the music of
the South is untrue," says Dickerson. "I wanted to set the record
straight and put the development of the music in perspective. The
Mojo Triangle is a land area in which all of America's original
roots music was created: country, blues, jazz, and rock 'n' roll.
How did this music come about? What is there about the Mojo
Triangle that has contributed to the creation of so much original
music?" The book points out that although the music itself was
created in the geographical area defined by the Mojo Triangle, the
two portals through which the various musical components entered
and then morphed into the finished products were Natchez,
Mississippi and Nashville, Tennessee, with the Natchez Trace
serving as the main artery. Based on interviews with the recording
artists, musicians, producers and songwriters who created and
performed the music, it traces the development of the music from
the early 1800s up to the present day. There is probably no author
in history who has interviewed as many music legends and musicians
as the author--and the reader benefits from that experience in a
big way. Among the music legends who participate are: Al Green,
Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Stevie Ray Vaughan, B.B. King, Carl
Perkins, Carla Thomas, Rufus Thomas, Chet Atkins, Ike Turner, Jack
Clement, Marty Stuart, Mose Allison, Rita Coolidge, Roy Orbison,
Scotty Moore, Tammy Wynette, Vince Gill, Waylon Jennings, Garth
Brooks, Chips Moman, Billy Sherrill, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Jimme
Vaughan, Willie Mitchell, Booker T. & the MGs, Bobby Womack,
Estelle Axton, Dave Edmunds, Pinetop Perkins, Bobbie Gentry, and
the list goes on and on. This incredible book, which contains rare
photographs, some of which were taken by the author himself, not
only allows the music greats themselves to express themselves about
the music they made famous, it explains for the first time the
development of America's music.
