Tag: The Chitlin Circuit and the Road to Rock and Roll

It’s been a while, but Patrick is back in the Book Nook! Today, he discusses the outstanding volume written by Preston Lauterbach, The Chitlin Circuit and the Road to Rock and Roll. This engrossing book brings to life the southern circuit of nightclubs, theatres, juke joints and back rooms that sustained black musicians and dancers during the 1930s through the late 1950s.
