This book is a love letter to the artists, scenes, and sounds defining North Carolinas extraordinary contributions to American popular music. David Menconi spent three decades immersed in the states music, where traditions run deep but the energy expands in countless directions. Menconi shows how working-class roots and rebellion tie North Carolinas Piedmont blues, jazz, and bluegrass to beach music, rock, hip-hop, and more. From mill towns and mountain coves to college-town clubs and the stage of American Idol, Blind Boy Fuller and Doc Watson to Nina Simone and Superchunk, Step It Up and Go celebrates homegrown music just as essential to the state as barbecue and basketball.Spanning a century of history from the dawn of recorded music to the present, and with sidebars and photos that help reveal the many-splendored glory of North Carolinas sonic landscape, this is a must-read for every music lover.
