The three years of the British skiffle craze was in many ways an antecedent of the punk explosion of the 70s with its boundary breaking imperative to just get out there and make music.
Bragg’s book examines it all in great detail, and for some that may be too much detail as there is a long list of names* and references that would probably be unfamiliar to the casual reader not already versed in the foundations of the British music scene. It also has a London bias (partially understandable as that’s where skiffle originated and remained its epicenter) only really spelling out its broader influences in the last few chapters. An influence that informed almost every British pop and rock act of the 60s and 70s.
If you want to know the true roots of modern British rock than this is a great starting point.
(* One name that took me by surprise was that of Michael Moorcock - apparently the renowned SF writer produced his own skiffle fanzine as a teenager.)… (lisätietoja)
