An Introduction to America’s Music tells the fascinating story of music in the United States, from the sacred music of its earliest days to the jazz and rock that enliven the turn of the millennium.
Beginning with the music of Native Americans and continuing with traditions introduced by European colonizers and Africans brought here as slaves, the book reveals how this bountiful heritage was developed and enhanced in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to produce the music we hear today.

America's Music,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: An Introduction to America's Music (Paperback)
It was well done but I was disappointed in the content of this book(the type of music covered). I was hoping it would have covered more of today's rock and pop music.

This review is from: An Introduction to America's Music (Paperback)
I had great communication with the seller, was impressed. The book was in excellent shape and the seller complied with my wishes for sending overnight. I also reimbursed her for the extra shipping. I will buy from her again if she has what I need. I wish every seller was like this young lady, it was awesome to deal with her.....
