American Rock 'n' Roll Tour

Library Journal

This is a listing, organized by region, of sites of alleged importance in rock 'n' roll history in the United States. Listings include the New Haven Arena (one of the arrest sites of Jim Morrison), the Flamingo in Las Vegas (where the Supremes traded former group leader Florence Ballard for Cindy Birdsong), Roy Orbison's grave in Westwood, and other such notable landmarks. Each listing gives a brief (sometimes too brief) description, address, and telephone number where appropriate. Although a bit specialized, this unique guide will be useful and informative to devotees of rock 'n' roll and trivia. For large travel collections.-- George M. Jenks, Bucknell Univ., Lewisburg, Pa.
