Atlanta Record Stores is an oral history of the city''s rock music scene, as witnessed through the lens of Criminal Records, Fantasyland, Wax ''N'' Facts, and many more. This is a rock-centric take on a town that''s so often praised and admired around the world as a hip-hop mecca. Here, the secret history of the underdogs--outsiders living among outsiders--are told. From Jarboe of SWANS to William DuVall of Alice In Chains and Neon Christ, to Kelly Hogan, and those surly guys behind the counter at Wuxtry, all were drawn by the irresistible lure of vinyl records, all found their communities and their own identities, leaving an indelible mark on the culture of Atlanta. Now, in their own voices, their stories are told.
