Book Reviews of American Popular Music: A Multicultural History
Book Review: Excellent Text on popular music
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a truly excellent book documenting the history and changes of american popular music, specifically highlighting the prevalence of minorities in american music. It leaves out practically nothing, from the obscure to the famous musicians since the beginning of the country. The included disks are really good too, they include some really good music to listen to along with the book. While set up to be taught, this also makes an interesting read. A great learning experience for anyone who wants to learn more about American popular music.
