RECOMMENDED READING - LAND OF A THOUSAND DANCES (REVISED EDITION)






If you buy one book related to The Eastside Sound, this is it. I first reviewed this book back in April of 2011 when I owned the first edition. I recently purchased the revised second edition and felt that because it is the most important written document of this genre of music that it was worth a second look.

I have used this book as a chronological guideline in putting this site together and find myself fascinated every time I read and re-read it.

"Land Of A Thousand Dances" was first published in 1998 and the revised second edition was published in March 2009. The revised edition has an expanded introduction and discography and features more photographs as well as a new cover.

Authors David Reyes and Tom Waldman took their love of this music and the interviews and stories told by the artists, managers & producers who made this musical history and turned it into a masterful lierary work. From the pre-rock era in Southern California through East L.A.'s very own Los Lobos, the stories of this magical and historical genre of rock & roll are here for you to read.

The book is available through Amazon and other fine book retailers. Please pick up a copy. You won't be disappointed.
