White Boy Singin' the Blues" is both a musical history of Memphis, the
city which gave birth to rock'n'roll, and an examination of the ways in
which white and black musics have interacted. In this work, Michael Bane
examines the whole history of the music, from the black roots of
spirituals and blues, through the beginnings of rock'n'roll, and its
evolution through the Twist, the British Invasion, Motown, funk,
Southern boogie, and disco. The result is an idiosyncratic history of
rock, and a culturally penetrating account of this hybrid music.
