Recenzii

Volume 8 of the Encyclopedia of Popular Music of the World is a comprehensive and incredibly useful guide to the musical styles of North America. The combination of history and description in the text, with the addition of bibliographies and discographies, makes EPMOW the ideal book with which to survey the vast array of musical genres associated with North America. The entries are illuminating and insightful and provide an unparalleled resource for teachers and students.
Volume VIII of the Continuum Encyclopedia of Popular Music of the World (Genres: North America) reminds us just how spectacularly varied are the highways and byways of American popular music. This fascinating guide takes us from the Brill Building in New York City to Bakersfield's distinctive country sound; from California's sunny surf music to D.C.'s gogo scene; from the Southwest's technobanda to Louisiana zydeco. Musics that swept the entire continent (rock 'n' roll) rub up against sounds that are the product of a few fertile neighborhoods of a single city (Mardi Gras Indian Music). This is the one indispensible companion for any fan of popular music, written in such a way that one can read and enjoy the volume cover-to-cover or choose to use it as needed as a reference.
