AUDIO: Ian Port wrote “The Birth of Loud”

There wouldn’t be rock gods without the tools to make rock, right?

 

Ian Port, a long time live music critic of Rolling Stone, Village Voice, and the San Francisco Examiner, takes a deep dive into the founders of American electric guitar, Leo Fender and Les Paul, and investigates the originators of the sounds that make so many classic rock bands so classic, the electric guitar itself!

 

 

Fender and Gibson remain the two most notable electric guitar makers in the world, and it started off as a great friendship, as most great stories do.

 

If you want a detailed, extensive look at the men whose work inspired greatness, be sure to pick up a copy of “The Birth of Loud” today!
