Accordion Revolution: A People’s History of the Accordion in North America from the Industrial Revo lution to Rock ’n’ Roll
Accordion Revolution is the squeezebox remix of music history. Discover how the “Beer Barrel Polka” saved the record industry during the Great Depression. Which accordionist was the highest paid instrumentalist in show-biz and secretly married sex-symbol Mae West? And what psychedelic accordion band almost played Woodstock. With an eye for colorful characters and a sharp sense of humor, accordion historian Bruce Triggs explores pop music with the squeezebox as tour guide. Accordion Revolution is a living, breathing restoration of the squeezebox to its rightful place at the roots of popular music in North America.
