"For music lovers who were there and for those who wish they were, the book is a well-researched cultural history that leaves no rolling stone unturned." -
Huffington Post
Friendly rivalry between musicians turned 1965 into the year rock evolved into the premier art form of its time and accelerated the drive for personal freedom throughout the Western world.
The Beatles made their first artistic statement with
Rubber Soul. Bob Dylan released "Like a Rolling Stone, arguably the greatest song of all time, and went electric at the Newport Folk Festival. The Rolling Stones's "Satisfaction" catapulted the band to world-wide success. New genres such as funk, psychedelia, folk rock, proto-punk, and baroque pop were born. Soul music became a prime force of desegregation as Motown crossed over from the R&B charts to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Country music reached new heights with Nashville and the Bakersfield sound. Musicians raced to innovate sonically and lyrically against the backdrop of seismic cultural shifts wrought by the Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam, psychedelics, the Pill, long hair for men, and designer Mary Quant's introduction of the miniskirt.
In
1965, Andrew Grant Jackson combines fascinating and often surprising personal stories with a panoramic historical narrative.
"Jackson has a better ear than a lot of music writers, and one of the best parts of this book is his many casual citings of songs that echo others... [He] show[s] us the familiar through fresh eyes, as... he returns us to a year when a lot of us were young and poor and not as happy as we thought we were, yet there was always a great song on the radio." -
