Description
Roots, Radicals & Rockers: How Skiffle Changed the World is a meticulously researched account of how skiffle sparked a revolution in pop music. Emerging from the trad-jazz clubs of the early 1950s, skiffle was adopted by Britain's first teenagers, who sought a music of their own in a culture dominated by crooners. The genre's DIY ethos, which required only three guitar chords to form a group, resonated with young people looking for a new sound. As the genre gained popularity, sales of guitars skyrocketed, and skiffle's influence eventually led to the British Invasion of the US charts in the 1960s.
