"From the early days of John Lee Hooker to the heyday of Motown and beyond, Detroit has enjoyed a long reputation as one of the crucibles of American pop music. In Grit, Noise, and Revolution, David A. Carson turns the spotlight on those hard-rocking, long-haired musicians - influenced by Detroit's R&B heritage - who ultimately helped change the face of rock 'n' roll." "An indispensable guide for rock aficionados, Grit, Noise, and Revolution features stories of these groundbreaking groups and is the first book to chronicle Detroit music of the 1960s and 70s - a pivotal era in rock music history."--BOOK JACKET.
