Jarvis is joined by British reporter, novelist and pop critic Nik Cohn talking about the recent reprint of his classic Awopbopaloobop Alopbamboom: Pop from the Beginning.

Nik Cohn began to write this book in the late 60s with a simple purpose: to catch the feel, the pulse of Rock.

The result is an unruly, thrilling and definitive history of an era, from Bill Haley to Jimi Hendrix, full of guts, flash, energy and speed.
