Redbone: The True Story of a Native American Rock Band by Sonia Paoloni, Christian Staebler
4.0
informative inspiring fast-paced

 Great graphic history of the band Redbone. Situates them in context the Native American history (including AIM), the LA music scene starting in the late 1950s, & the 60s & 70s in general. Contextualizes a lot of the Native American politics of the 1970s. Makes me want to check out Redbone's 1st album. Supports my theory that if you dig deeper on any 1-hit-wonder, you'll either find it's either some band with it's own mythos that's still around & on it's 10th line-up, or it's the guy who did the Chipmunks.
