The definitive story of LA's post-war music scene.
No city in the Western world exerts such a fascination as the glamorous, debauched Los Angeles, and there is no city that is more of a draw to musicians.

Barney Hoskyns tells the definitive story of LA's post-war music scene and spent nearly a decade researching this account of music developing into a culture of its own.
