A tour-de-force history of Jews, blues, and the birth of a new
industry. On the south side of Chicago in the late 1940s, two
immigrants, one a Jew born in Russia, the other a black blues
singer from Mississippi met and changed the course of musical
history. Muddy Waters electrified the blues, and Leonard Chess
recorded it. Soon Bo Diddly and Chuck Berry added a dose of
pulsating rhythm, and Chess Records captured that, too. Rock &
roll had arrived, and an industry was born. In a book as vibrantly
and exuberantly written as the music and people it portrays, Rich
Cohen tells the engrossing story of how Leonard Chess, with the
other record men, made this new sound into a multi-billion-dollar
business aggressively acquiring artists, hard-selling distributors,
riding the crest of a wave that would crash over a whole
generation. Full of absorbing lore and animated by a deep love for
popular music, Machers and Rockers is a smash hit.
