Sommario/riassunto

Shreveport, Louisiana, is one of America's most important 'regional-sound cities', its musical distinctiveness shaped by individuals and ensembles, record label and radio station owners, announcers and disc jockeys, club owners and sound engineers, music journalists and musicians. The area's music is a kaleidoscope of country, blues, R&B, rockabilly, and rock. This book presents that evolution in a collection of scholarly and popular writing that covers institutions and people who nurtured the musical life of the city and its surroundings.
