Praise for Preston Lauterbach
Beale Street Dynasty: Sex, Song, and the Struggle for the Soul of Memphis
"In describing Beale Street's transformation from a breeding ground of wickedness to its present incarnation as a Disney-fied destination for tourists who want to feel frisky without taking any chances, [Lauterbach] does a masterful job of depicting the ruthless entrepreneurship that yielded a lot of tangled vice and, perhaps not surprisingly, some tangible good as well."
- David Kirby, Washington Post
"All aspects of [Beale Street's] complex, fascinating history are told in Beale Street Dynasty with verve and vivid erudition."
- Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal
The Chitlin' Circuit: And the Road to Rock 'n' Roll
"Lauterbach's book brings a long-ignored period of musical history vividly to life...[and] evokes the sights, sounds and energy of this forgotten era."
- Elizabeth Allin, NPR
"The history of rock 'n' roll is often told as a perfect example of the American melting pot--black blues plus white country music--but music writer Preston Lauterbach's rollicking, radiant new book plumbs the music's deep black roots, providing an important historical corrective...Lauterbach spins the tale with enormous vitality and it's terribly fun to read."
- Kate Tuttle, Boston Globe
