The Sound of Seattle : 101 Songs that Shaped a City
Music History Seattle - Book - by Eva Walker and Jacob Uitti
(2024)
KEXP DJ and musician Eva Walker and music writer Jake Uitti take readers
on a musical journey, exploring the songs and artists instrumental to
developing the 'Seattle sound.' The authors have curated the ultimate
playlist for the Emerald City. It all begins in 1942 when
Washington-born Bing Crosby records what will become the world's
bestselling single of all time, 'White Christmas.' From there, readers
will delight in a sensory trip through jazz, rock, punk, riot grrrl,
pop, rap, grunge, indie, emo, and more, deepening their knowledge and
love of the songs that shaped Seattle, and in the process, each of us.
Both a love letter and love song to the city, The Sound of Seattle is a
visual guide organized by decade, with songs profiled and paired with
inventive design reminiscent of a favorite zine or concert poster.
Includes interviews with Seattle legends like Heart's Nancy Wilson, as
well as sidebars showcasing musical landmarks throughout the city. How
has the Emerald City’s musical output changed and evolved? We're gonna
find out!
