In the music world, cars symbolize inspiration, freedom, and style, serving as a means to reach gigs. From Robert Johnson’s “Terraplane Blues” to Xzibit’s “Pimp My Ride,” cars are a recurring theme in rock-n-roll. Despite their prevalence in American songs, the connection between music and automobiles has rarely been explored—until now. This beautifully produced volume by best-selling music writer Paul Grushkin offers a thematic illustrated examination of the remarkable 50-plus-year relationship between rock music and motoring, spanning genres from early R&B to surf, metal, punk, and hip-hop. Featuring renowned photographers like Steve Coonan and Jim Marshall, as well as acclaimed illustrators and poster artists, the book showcases the synergy between music and cars. Iconic rockers such as Elvis Presley, Eric Clapton, and Snoop Dogg are celebrated for their associations with automobiles. The narrative is enriched with anecdotes and commentary from famous musicians and passionate rock-n-rollers alike, highlighting their shared love for rock and cars. This exploration reveals the profound impact of automobiles on the music scene, making it a captivating read for enthusiasts of both music and motoring.
