1966-1976: When Horn Rock was King

About Me

We have created this site and are writing a book about horn rock bands in order to recognize an often overlooked, but very important and influential genre of music. Horn rock bands existed primarily between 1966-1976, although you can feel in the influence of its performers, producers and writers, whether you're listening to the Saturday Night Live band go to commercial break or hear a sample in the 50 Cent hip hop song. No one has yet to compile, research and detail the horn rock genre...until now.
