Rockin' Down the Highway: The Unholy Marriage of Rock 'n' Roll and Internal Combustion by Paul Grushkin
In the music world, the car is more than a mode of transport, it's inspiration, a symbol of freedom and style. From the 1936 recording, Terraplane Blues to MTV hit show Pimp My Ride, cars have been a constant theme in rock-n-roll. Music writer, Grushkin draws on private collections, poster artists, top private archives to present an illustrated examination of the remarkable 50+ year synergy between rock music and motoring from early RandB to metal to punk to hip-hop. It features hundreds of rare 78s, 45s, LPs, sheet music with commentary from famous musicians and dozens of pieces from prominent music photographers.
