Reviews

"American Popular Music is an important contribution. . . . There is no volume of this breadth currently available. It will be an invaluable research, reference, and teaching tool that I will use in my own courses and writing."--Farah Jasmine Griffin, University of Pennsylvania "This is a fine, eclectic group of original essays. . . . The writing is good; the book is readable. This volume will be quite useful in courses on American popular music, American studies, and American history."--Barbara Tischler, author of An American Music: The Search for an American Musical Identity
