Summary:
Just
around
Midnight
explores the interplay of popular music and
racial
thought in the 1960s by asking how, when, and why
rock
and
roll
music "became White." By the time Jimi Hendrix died in 1970 the idea of a Black man playing electric lead guitar was considered literally remarkable in ways it had not been for Chuck Berry only ten years earlier: this book explains how this happened. By excavating an extraordinarily cosmopolitan aesthetic amidst a far-flung community of artists on both sides of the Atlantic, including Bob Dylan, Sam Cooke, the Beatles, Aretha Franklin, Dusty Springfield, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix and others,
Just
around
Midnight
offers an interracial counter-history of Sixties music that rejects hermetic ideals of
racial
authenticity while revealing the pernicious effects of these ideologies on musical understanding.--
