Description
John Mellencamp, Crystal Gayle, Michael Jackson, Axl Rose, Babyface, Janet Jackson, Wes Montgomery, Bobby Helms, Janie Fricke and Hoagy Carmichael -- What do these musical legends have in common in addition to worldwide fame? That's easy -- all are natives of the State of Indiana along with thousands of others displaying their talents during the 1950's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. Featuring over 300 unique photographs as well as snapshots of the life and times of the selected artists, this is more than a book about famous musicians. Divided into seven categories according to era and music category, the book details the evolution of the musical explosion in Indiana that began with rock n' roll in the 1950's. Seen through the eye of music historian Larry Goshen, with text by Mark Shaw, the book provides glimpses of the above-mentioned performers as well as The Four Freshmen, The McCoys, Denise Williams, John Hiatt, Troy Shondell and David Lee Roth of Van Halen Fame. Lesser-known artists like The Blue Jeans, Danny Dollar, Keetie and the Kats, Him, Her and Them, Screaming Jimmie, Acid Indigestion, Amoebas in Chaos, Andropov's Assassins, The Dancing Cigarettes, Freebee and the Ragweed Patch, The Fire Hydrant Man and Screaming' Gypsy Bandits are also featured. Features a Foreword written by jazz legend Buddy Montgomery. This is a collector's item that will bring back musical memories like they occurred yesterday.
