Review
This approach is much needed in general, and particularly in music, where influences of diverse cultures are of such importance. Thank you for creating this book.
Excellent sense detail and interest in the writing. There are just enough details and facts on each artist to give an overall sense of who they were/are but not so much info that it blunts the impact of the major points or obscures larger concepts.
This text is very up-to-date; the discussion is carried to the present and music that students are likely to know or have heard about. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Text on popular music,
By Matt Goff (Bay Area, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Popular Music: A Multicultural History (Paperback)
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.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Great book, no Cd.,

This review is from: American Popular Music: A Multicultural History (Paperback)
The book and the accompanying course is fantastic. However I must say that this purchase on Amazon WILL NOT provide you with the cd!!!!!!!!!!! It is sold separately.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: American Popular Music: A Multicultural History (Paperback)
There are many places that the book refers to a 2-disc CD set for listening examples. If you read a book about music without listening, you are unlikely to really learn much about the music! Be sure to buy a copy that will have the discs with it. My professor actually made us recognize the artist and movement/genre by hearing the first 30 seconds of each tune.
