Book Review: Redbone: The True Story of a Native American Rock Band by Christian Staebler

Redbone: The True Story of a Native American Rock Band

by Christian Staebler (YA PB (Graphic Novel) Staebler)

 

This gorgeously illustrated graphic novel tells the story of 60s and 70s era rock band Redbone, best known for their hit “Come and Get Your Love.” The story follows the beginnings of the band, the heyday and all the different, varied artists they worked with throughout their career up to their involvement in various indigenous rights activities. The book is quick informative read and good for anyone interested in a music or First Nations history read.
