Crawdaddy!
''Crawdaddy!'' was an American rock music magazine launched in 1966. It was by created by Paul Williams, a Swarthmore College student at the time, in response to the increasing sophistication and cultural influence of popular music. ''The New York Times'' has described ''Crawdaddy!'' as "the first magazine to take rock and roll seriously",〔(NY Times, June 9, 1976 )〕 while rival title ''Rolling Stone'' acknowledged it as "the first serious publication devoted to rock & roll news and criticism".〔 Cited in 〕
Preceding both ''Rolling Stone'' and ''Creem'', ''Crawdaddy!'' was the training ground for many rock writers just finding the language to describe rock and roll,〔(Peter Knobler on ''Crawdaddy'' )〕〔(Paul Williams interview )〕 which was only then beginning to be written about as studiously as folk music and jazz.〔(Williams interview )〕 The magazine spawned the career of numerous rock and other writers. Early contributors included Jon Landau, Sandy Pearlman, Richard Meltzer and Peter Knobler.〔 Issue #8 from March 1967. See page 3 for Table of Contents, showing authors. Also (issue #19, page 3. )〕
Williams left the magazine in 1968, going on to write over 25 books. From 1993 to 2003 he self-published a ''Crawdaddy!'' reincarnation. In 2006 it was sold to Wolfgang's Vault and later resurrected as a daily webzine.〔(Crawdaddy.com )〕 Effective August 5, 2011, visits began redirecting to the music website ''Paste'', which announced that ''Crawdaddy'' "relaunches as a blog on Paste, where we’ll share stories from the Crawdaddy archives and publish new content on legacy artists".〔(Post at pastemagazine.com/blogs/crawdaddy )〕
== Magazine roots ==
Named after the legendary Crawdaddy Club in England at which the Rolling Stones played their first gig, ''Crawdaddy!'' was started on the campus of Swarthmore College. Williams was a science fiction fan who at the age of 17 started mimeographing and distributing a collection of criticisms (at first mostly his own) about rock and roll music and musicians. (He had begun publishing a science fiction fanzine, ''Within'', at the age of 14, and later recruited some of his fellow fans to help.〔(Williams interview )〕〔(Fanzines )〕) ''Crawdaddy!'' quickly moved from its fanzine roots to become one of the first rock music "prozines", with newsstand distribution.
You are looking at the first issue of a magazine of rock and roll criticism. ''Crawdaddy!'' will feature neither pin-ups nor news-briefs; the specialty of this magazine is intelligent writing about pop music....
