Historian Stephen Tow "takes readers on a fascinating, astute, and welcoming tour through the birth of the several genre offshoots - such as progressive rock and folk - to explore the remarkable circumstances that made London and its surroundings such a fertile and significant creative space", PopMatters says about 'London, Reign Over Me: How England's Capital Build Classic Rock', a new book about UK 1960s rock. "Tow's extensive insights, engaging connections, and approachable voice makes it an enthralling read".
