Jim Dawson Series

Jim Dawson is a writer with a unique focus on American pop culture, particularly the origins of rock 'n' roll and the history of flatulence. His musical works, including a notable book on early rock 'n' roll, are recognized as invaluable resources for critics and historians alike. A pivotal article on Ritchie Valens, published in the Los Angeles Times, directly spurred the reissue of the artist's recordings and inspired the making of a major biopic. Dawson also contributes his expertise through liner notes for numerous album releases.
