The crucial element to a great road trip is direction. If your heart beats to a rock-and-roll tempo, Rock & Roll Traveler USA is the ultimate road-trip reference for worshipping at the shrines of the great. See the venue where Bruce Springsteen launched his Born in the U.S.A. tour, the house where Chuck Berry was born, the theater where Jimi Hendrix won Amateur Night in the sixties, and the spot where Janis Joplin hit Jim Morrison over the head with a Southern Comfort bottle. Also included are record stores across the U.S., funky cafes, details on momentous gigs, and rock landmarks from New York to Los Angeles and from Robert Johnson's Mississippi Delta to Kurt Cobain's Seattle.
Product Description
The perfect reference for the ultimate road trip---riveting, entertaining, and packed with never-before-seen photographs and covering the hot spots in U.S. music today, from New York to L.A., from Robert Johnson's Mississippi Delta to Kurt Cobain's Seattle, with information about all aspects of the rock-lover's travel experience:
Momentous gigs---where the Beatles invaded America, Elvis did Vegas, the Band did their last waltz, and the Sex Pistols stormed the South.
Pop shrines---the Chelsea Hotel, Whisky A Go Go, Threadgill's, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Motown, and---the mother ship---Graceland.
Unruly rockers---where Led Zeppelin, Jim Morrison, the Who, and other big stars of bad behavior lived fast, died young, and let it all hang out.
Record stores, recording studios, the best local clubs for catching a pop revolution in progress, and loads of places where you'll find eats with ambience.

For rock-and-roll fans, this book is long overdue. Whether you're planning a road trip to Graceland or just want to know where to find a hole-in-the-wall record store on your next vacation, this book is for you. Most travel guides focus on families and seniors, but this book is definitely written with a younger, hipper sensibility. Region by region and state by state, you'll find most everything you'd want to know about a city's rock-n-roll shrines and out-of-the-way spots that most guides (including Fodor's) usually leave out.
