"Turn! Turn! Turn!: The ‘60s Folk-Rock Revolution" covers the birth and heyday of folk-rock from 1964 to mid-1966, with a chapter on the music’s roots in the early-‘60s folk revival. The book portrays the immense influence of the Beatles and the British Invasion that sparked young acoustic folk musicians to electrify starting in early 1964; the birth of electric folk-rock in the hands of the Byrds, Bob Dylan, the Lovin’ Spoonful, and others in late 1964 and early 1965; the folk-rock boom launched by the Byrds’ #1 cover of Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man”; the ensuing struggles between folk purists and electric rockers as Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone” became a huge smash and he “went electric” at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival; the rise to stardom of the Lovin’ Spoonful, the Mamas & the Papas, Donovan, and Simon & Garfunkel in the Byrds’ and Dylan’s wake; and the initial diversification of folk-rock into the music of early singer-songwriters like Tim Hardin, Fred Neil, Janis Ian, and Richard Fariña, as well as the early ascension of California folk-rock bands like Buffalo Springfield and Love. Based on first-hand interviews with folk-rock figures such as Roger McGuinn, Donovan, Judy Collins, and more than 100 others, "Turn! Turn! Turn!" and its sequel, "Eight Miles High: Folk-Rock’s Flight from Haight-Ashbury to Woodstock" (which covers folk-rock from mid-1966 to 1970), have been updated from the original print books for their 2015 ebook versions. "Turn! Turn! Turn!" and "Eight Miles High" have also been combined into one ebook, "Jingle Jangle Morning: Folk-Rock in the 1960s," which adds a bonus mini-book detailing the nearly 200 tracks that would be compiled into the author’s ideal 1960s folk-rock box set.
