You' ve heard the hit song "Come and Get Your Love" in the movie Guardians of the Galaxy, but the story of the band behind it is one of cultural, political, and social importance. Brothers Pat and Lolly Vegas were talented Native American rock musicians that took the 1960s Sunset Strip by storm. They influenced The Doors and jammed with Jimmy Hendrix before he was "Jimi," and the idea of a band made up of all Native Americans soon followed. Determined to control their creative vision and maintain their cultural identity, they eventually signed a deal with Epic Records in 1969. But as the American Indian Movement gained momentum the band took a stand, choosing pride in their ancestry over continued commercial reward. Created in cooperation of the Vegas family, authors Christian Staebler and Sonia Paolini with artist Thibault Balahy take painstaking steps to ensure the historical accuracy of this important and often overlooked story of America' s past. Part biography and part research journalism, Redbone provides a voice to a people long neglected in American history.
"Compelling reading for fans of roots rock and Native American history in middle school and up. " --School Library Journal "An entertaining, enlightening history for music fans. Balahy' s loose, energetic drawings; imaginative layouts; and playful use of color make everything pop. " --Publishers Weekly
