ABOUT Crawdaddy!:

Crawdaddy!, the first U.S. magazine for rock criticism, has returned as a weekly online music publication. In earnest, the magazine aims to maintain the values set forth by the original, while also engaging with the changes that have occurred in publishing and the music industry over the last 40 years. Paul Williams, widely regarded as the godfather of rock criticism, started Crawdaddy! magazine at the age of 17 from his dorm room at Swarthmore College in 1966. Almost two years before Rolling Stone came into existence, Williams introduced a new, unique form of rock journalism to the American public. The magazine became a forum for journalists to write intelligently about music that helped rock gain its much-deserved cultural significance through verbal celebration. Crawdaddy! is now owned and distributed digitally through its' parent company, Wolfgang's Vault.
