- catalog abstract "He's been a session man for Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Neil Young, Elvis Costello, Ray Charles, and Count Basie. As a studio player in New Orleans and Los Angeles from the 1940s through the 1970s, Earl Palmer co-created hundreds of hits and transformed the lope of rhythm and blues into the full-tilt thrust of rock and roll. This first-person narrative of Earl Palmer's life and career probes some little-explored regions of the American cultural landscape. Palmer's distinctive voice alternates with the insights of music journalist and historian Tony Scherman to detail the social and musical cultures of mid-century black New Orleans, the feverish world of early rock, and the effects of racism on individual lives and careers. Backbeat tells the full story of the tough, creative, unforgettable man who laid the rhythmic foundations of rock and roll.".
