Would you rather go to New Orleans to see Jackson Square -- or catch B.B. King during Jazz Fest?

From New York to L.A., from Robert Johnson's Mississippi Delta to Kurt Cobain's Seattle, discover an American landscape you'll find nowhere else.

America Through the Eyes of a Rock and Roll TravelerINTRODUCTION

More than a million people have already passed through the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, and thousands fill Austin's hotel rooms each weekend for a taste of live music. We all know people who go on vacation and come back with tales not of the major tourist sights, but of some obscure neighborhood that was mentioned in a song or of a great spot where their favorite band used to hang out.  Yet when it comes to travel guides and brochures, rock and other popular music is largely ignored -- which is why it seemed obvious that we should write this book.

Our aim was to provide a fun read -- something that's as enjoyable while you're lazing on the sofa as it is useful in the glove compartment on a road trip.  That's why we've provided a grounding on all the country's famous venues, from D.C.'s 9:30 Club to San Francisco's Fillmore.  We include the histories of many groundbreaking studios, from Boston's indie-hits factory, Fort Apache, to the heart of soul in Muscle Shoals and the Memphis studios where rock & roll first bloomed.  We've also unearthed great secondhand-record stores like Pittsburgh's Jerry's and the Great Escape in Nashville, and provided listings of top bars, clubs, and places to grab a bite to eat nationwide.  We've included many former homes of the stars and other privately owned places (so please don't give us a bad name by hanging around too much).

We also tried to give a nod to important local bands and highlight the current scene in cities. Bear in mind that this book is focused on destinations: if a band hasn't written about a particular place, or done something of note at specific locations, then they're not going to get as much attention as a Springsteen (who mentions towns at any convenience), Led Zeppelin (whose 70's tours left a catalog of chaos), or Nirvana (whose brief history is both one of this decade's most influential musical episodes and directly linked to a particular city's sound).

We hope you grab a friend, compile some tapes, do the road trip, and let us know how you get on.
