We have had a lot of really well written reviews and will add these to the site shortly!

In the meantime , there is an In depth and very interesting review here of Brian’s book from the website 78Crazy.com, written by the blog’s author Bob Bell. Bob knew Brian back then and often visited Roger Eagle in his flat (he tells us that Eagle used to furnish the musicians with a bottle of Johnny Walker when they were booked in or visited and kept the empties, each labelled with their name – John Lee Hooker, Memphis Slim, Willie Dixon, Sonny Boy Williamson etc.!).

Bob clearly gets the importance of the photographs, suggesting they “illustrate the great cultural musical shift that occurred in Britain in the early 1960s” and adding that “the list of American acts that appeared during that time, and were photographed by Brian is, quite simply, astounding. ‘Boom Boom Boom, Boom’ has collected together all these shots, and they tell the story of the blues in Britain in the early sixties, the visiting American heroes and the awestruck locals, the passion of the fans, and the exciting nascent years of British rock. Boom Boom Boom Boom’ is an exhaustive chronicle of that time, an archive of intimate yet historic moments when a culture was in flux. These photos, along with Brian’s story, are truly the minutes of a revolution.” What a fabulous thing to say. Brian is still reeling!
