It also shows how social, economic, and regional factors have all helped to shape rock music over time and, in turn, how this music has gone on to influence other genres, such as Blues, Folk, Country, Jazz, and Soul and RB.Handyside, Chris is the author of 'History of Rock and Roll ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781410918154 and ISBN 1410918157.
