"A thrilling narrative that weaves cultural history, musical history, race, politics, business, advertising and technological discovery." --The Wall Street Journal "A lively and fascinating history....You're going to want to keep your tablet or phone nearby as you read it, because you'll be absolutely compelled to find and listen to the signature songs and riffs referenced throughout.... Tolinski and Di Perna have produced a book that lives up to the urgent, innovative, all-encompassing spirit of its subject." --Minneapolis Star-Tribune "More than the story of an iconic instrument, Play It Loud is a cultural history, calling up the tastes, styles and fads, the economics and even the geopolitics of 90 years of music-making." --Dallas Morning News "The definitive book about the history and business of the electric guitar." --Forbes.com
