It all started in London. More than fifty years ago, a generation
of teens created something that would change the face of music forever.
London,
Reign Over Me immerses us in the backroom clubs, basement record shops,
and late-night faint radio signals of 1960s Britain, where young
hopefuls like Peter Frampton, Dave Davies, and Mick Jagger built off
American blues and jazz to form a whole new sound. Author Stephen Tow
weaves together original interviews with over ninety musicians and
movers-and-shakers of the time to uncover the uniquely British story of
classic rock’s birth.
Capturing the stark contrast of bursting
artistic energy with the blitzkrieg landscape leftover from World War
II, London, Reign Over Me reveals why classic rock ‘n’ roll could only
have been born in London. A new sound from a new generation, this music
helped spark the most important cultural transformation of the twentieth
century.
