Overview:
For forty years, the Sunset Strip has reigned supreme as rock 'n' roll's most enduring boulevard of dreams. No other street has witnessed so many immortal moments. So many legendary performances. And so much wretched excess.
  Virtually everyone who has made a meaningful impression on rock has been inside the Strip's three most famous nightclubs: the Whisky A-Go-Go, the Roxy and the Rainbow Bar & Grill. From psychedelic pioneers like the Doors and the Byrds... to notoriously heavy supergroups of the 70's like Led Zeppelin and Humble Pie... to furiously nihilistic L.A. punk bands like X and Black Flag... to local heroes responsible for the rebirth of hard rock in the 80's like Guns & Roses and Motley Crue. They all played here, partied here, made history here, and sometimes died here.
  Straight Whisky is the first book ever to chronicle all the music, magic and mayhem of the Sunset Strip.
  Authors Erik Quisling and Austin Williams have created a unique multi-leveled portrait that is unlike any other rock book on record. With its sweeping historical analysis and down & dirty details, Straight Whisky pulls no punches and leaves no stone unturned. Quisling has drawn upon extensive research to chronicle the ways in which music on the Sunset Strip has both shaped and reflected the American experience since 1964. Williams has chosen sixteen of the most memorable events from the period and developed them into dramatic narratives that offer an intensely intimate view of this incredible story.
  Together, along with dozens of rare photos and original interviews with the rock stars who were there when it all happened, these perspectives provide a comprehensive look at the most famous stretch of rock 'n' roll real estate on Earth: the famed "rock block" of Sunset Boulevard. Here are the stories that have been whispered about for decades. Now they can be told out loud for the first time.
