Sweet Soul Music (Enhanced Edition): Rhythm and Blues and the Southern Dream of Freedom

This enhanced edition includes:

• Exclusive video footage prepared specifically for the enhanced eBook that has never been seen before.
• Rare audio clips.

This masterful exploration of American roots music--country, rockabilly, and the blues--spotlights the artists who created a distinctly American sound, including Ernest Tubb, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Elvis Presley, Merle Haggard, and Sleepy LaBeef. In incisive portraits based on searching interviews with these legendary performers, Peter Guralnick captures the boundless passion that drove these men to music-making and that kept them determinedly, and sometimes almost desperately, on the road.
