About this listen

The defining sounds of popular music - blues, rock 'n' roll, punk, hip-hop - were shaped and driven by rebel voices: whether that was Robert Johnson and Billie Holiday in the 1920-40s, or the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Joe Strummer in the 1960s and 70s. Truly ground- and rule-breaking voices have been drowned out by pop-by-numbers acts in more recent years, and in Rebel Heroes, Huey Morgan investigates where music started to lose its soul, and why the lessons of those renegade spirits of yesteryear are still so vital. The book is steeped in Huey's love for, and knowledge of, music and is full of personal anecdotes and stories of some of the greatest musicians to have graced us with their talent.

Fantastic summary of all the greats in music from 1900 on. Huey has such a broad knowledge of music and his passion for the topic shines through. Narrated likes you're sat at a table in the pub, chatting with a friend.

It was great to listen to Huey talk with such passion about the history of our true rock and rollers. It was a musical education that I couldn’t stop listening too. I’ll be listening to it again very soon. Brilliant

Such passion

A personal perspective I know but pretty much on the button .

Then Again Huey has been there and done that so would expect no less.

My only criticism is ot about the content or Huey's presentation but about the editing. There should have been some pauses between sections. I found d it annoying when he had obviously finished talking about one person or subject and without a pause the next sentence started as if it was a follow on comment. A little thing I know but I did find myself jumping back to make sure I had not missed something.
