Zusammenfassung:Tracing the roots of Southern music. "Dixie Lullaby" is a brilliantly original look at how the unifying powers of rock music in the 1970s and 1980s helped Southerners to come to terms with their complex racial past. Rock & roll has transformed American culture more profoundly than any other art form. During the 1960s, it defined a generation of young people as political and social idealists, helped end the Vietnam War, and ushered in the sexual revolution. In Dixie Lullaby, veteran music journalist Mark Kemp shows that rock also renewed the identity of a generation of white southerners who came of age in the decade after segregation -- the heyday of disco, Jimmy Carter, and Saturday Night Live.
