Tracing "garage" and "psychedelic" rock from the 50's through the sixties, this book unfolds the history and the sonic structures of some of rock's core repertoire
Michael Hicks is a professor of music at Brigham Young University and a musician and composer. His books include The Mormon Tabernacle Choir: A History and Mormonism and Music: A History.
"A thoughtful, compelling, and stimulating addition to the
literature of popular music studies. Hicks engages the musical
details of rock music exceptionally well, accounting for their
production and interpreting their significance. We need more such
work."--Robert Walser, author of Running with the Devil: Power,
Gender, and Madness in Heavy Metal Music
"A fresh and fascinating account of an important body of American
music. . . . Hicks's book rings true, much more than anything else
I've read on the subject."--Charles Hamm, author of Putting Popular
Music in Its Place
"A delightful book, covering selected facets of a large musical era
in considerable and highly readable detail."--Frank Oglesbee,
Communication Booknotes Quarterly
