Reviews

"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
