BARRY MAZOR – meeting jimmie rodgers (Papier)

Paperback, 376 Seiten, Sprache: Englisch. Here is the first book to explore the legacy of Jimmie Rodgers, offering a lively look at Rodgers' career, tracing his rise from working-class obscurity to the pinnacle of renown. As Mazor shows, Rodgers brought emotional clarity and a unique sense of narrative drama to every song he performed. But more than anything else, Mazor suggests, it was Rodgers' shape-shifting ability to assume many public personas that connected him to a broad public and set the stage for the stars who followed. *Bookazine Bertrams
