New book "Boomer Blues" by Dave Rineer is released, a retrospective of albums and artists that helped define a generation
Providing rich historical context for the influence the blues has had on nearly every other genre of modern music, as well as exploring how the style remains vibrant today, the author references hundreds of songs, albums, and artists to guide readers through this incredible and ongoing legacy.
Boomer Blues (ISBN: 9781966074939) can be purchased through retailers worldwide, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The paperback retails for $27.99, and the ebook retails for $6.49. Review copies and interviews with the author are available upon request.
From the back cover:
Most Baby Boomers, as teenagers in the late '50s and early '60s, had trouble finding music that spoke to them in the wasteland of popular music. If you worked at it, you began finding former blues guys like Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry creating rock and roll, and others like Ray Charles, Lloyd Price, and Fats Domino polishing it into Rhythm and Blues. Over the years, if you stayed interested, R&B evolved into Soul and Funk. Rock took in dashes of Folk, Jazz, and Country (and vice versa) and splintered into various sub-genres and combinations. In the '60s and '70s, many artists in different genres included blues songs on their albums, demonstrating their support and the foundation it provides for various styles. Through the years, players like Johnny Winter, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and the Allman Brothers caused people to reconsider the Blues. In the late '80s, many of us discovered the blues festival - and that some of the masters and new disciples were still performing (in some ways better than all the rest). Through this exposure, many of us turned a corner. Blues became the primary genre. All the others, while not disregarded, became secondary.
This book is about my journey through this progression with album reviews and connected, connecting thoughts and opinions.
About the author:
Born and raised in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. After college, I spent a 40-year career in human resources with the oil industry in Philly and Houston, and with shipbuilding in Newport News, Virginia. My specialty became labor negotiations, but I worked in almost all aspects of the discipline. After retirement, I began thinking about another part of my life: following music. Through thousands of shows and purchased products, as well as constant reading, I came to the realization that I had (and was having) a wonderful journey from and to the blues... So I began writing about it.
