Description
Play It Loud celebrates the musical instruments that gave rock and roll its signature sound. Seven essays by veteran music journalists and scholars explore the technical developments, evolution of classic lineups, innovations in instrumentation, visual impact, and essential role of instruments in memorable moments of rock history.
Abundant photographs depict iconic instruments, including Jerry Lee Lewis's baby grand piano, Chuck Berry's Gibson ES-350T guitar, John Lennon's twelve-string Rickenbacker 325, Keith Moon's drum set, and Jimi Hendrix's white Stratocaster. Produced in collaboration with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this book offers a rare, in-depth look at the instruments that inspired musicians and made possible the songs we know and love.
