In the not too distant past, Macon rocked with sounds heard round the world. Finally, the one book that tells the fabulous stories of the pioneers of rock and roll…the musical heritage of Macon, Georgia. The book tells the story of the irrepressible, creative, musical giants who came out of Macon during the last half of the twentieth century. Told with authentic voice by Candice Dyer. The book paints larger-than-life pictures of Little Richard, Otis Redding, the Allman Brothers, James Brown, Phil and Alan Walden and dozens of other stars who lit up the skies in Macon during the long, steamy summers of the Sixties and Seventies. The candid telling of a story only partially known til now, will surprise and delight readers as it describes the bands and singers who, at the height of their success, dominated the music scene, not only in Macon, but throughout the world.

The book is a joint project of NewTown Macon and Indigo Publishing.
