Easy Riders, Rolling Stones: On the Road in America, from Delta Blues to 70s Rock

'Beginning with early blues artist Charley Patton, [Easy Riders] explains how a mythology can quickly build up around itinerant musicians who never stay in one place too long . . . a fascinating read for anyone who's ever wanted to head out on the highway.' --Classic Rock magazine'The road has long been one of the most evocative cultural motifs in popular music. In Easy Riders, Rolling Stones John Scanlan provides a fascinating account of the emerging relationship between music and movement, from its origins in the pre-war Mississippi Delta to its deafening denouement in the rock shows of the 1970s.' --Matthew Gandy, Professor of Geography at University College London
