Contributor(s):Author: Marshall ChapmanForeword by: Lee SmithGoodbye, Little Rock and Roller was a 2004 SEBA Book Award finalist, and a 2004 Book Critics Circle Award finalist. Goodbye, Little Rock and Roller is an inventive and original book from Nashville singer/songwriter Chapman, who uses twelve of her most resonant songs as entry points to many of her lifes adventures. Not a memoir, but a map of the places Chapmans been and what went through her mind as she was traveling there, this book is funny and tender, warm and exuberant. Raised a debutante in Spartanburg, South Carolina, the daughter of a mill owner and firmly part of proper society, Chapman became a rocker at a time when women werent yet picking up electric guitars. She is a living example, as one reviewer wrote, of the triumph of rock and roll over good breeding. From New Years Eve in 1978 when Jerry Lee Lewis gave Chapman advice on how to live life (I mean its one thing when your mother says Honey dont you think youd better slow down? But when The Killer voices his concern....) to the time her black maid Cora Jeter took the seven-year-old to see Elvis, Goodbye, Little Rock and Roller goes to the moments when the influences on Chapmans songwriting and psyche were cemented. And it winningly reveals how the creative process comes from life: one of Chapmans favorite songs was written after waking up facedown in her underpants in her front-yard vegetable garden. Revealing intimate rock and roll moments and memories of a South Carolina childhood, Marshall Chapman is a fresh voice firmly in the Southern tradition.
