In 1953, the entire world waited for an explosion. The United States and The Soviet Union both possessed a weapon that could blow the planet to bits. But when the explosion finally did come, it wasn't from an Atom Bomb blast-but from the birth of rock and roll music.

Seven-Inch Vinyl chronicles the evolution of rock and roll between the years 1953-1969. An interesting array of fictional characters takes the reader on a remarkable journey from the rural landscapes of Kentucky where Rhythm and Blues is on the rise to the juke joints of Memphis as R&B meets country to create the Rockabilly sound.

9 of 9 people found the following review helpful Rock 'n' Roll Forever!, March 4, 2011 By  M. Elliott (Dothan, AL USA) - See all my reviews    This review is from: Seven-Inch Vinyl: A Rock and Roll Novel (Paperback) An excellent read!! A chance to revisit the 50's and the 60's if you were there then, and if you were not, then it will give you a peek at what it was like then. Donald Riggio has written a fine novel about the music of that era and included historical events for that time as well. The characters are so believable for that time that you will no doubt identify with some if you were around then. I recommend this book to everyone of all ages.

The story brought me back to my teen years, as I recalled how it was to walk the halls of my high school while holding my transistor radio up to my ear so as not to miss any of my favorite singers' newest songs. Well done, Donald!
