PopMusicology

Volume 2 of a series, this ebook ponders on the first rock ’n’ roll records, and also examines the development of soul music, and the crisis in country music that led to the production style known as the Nashville Sound. The text is illustrated by a number of short audio and video samples.


Volume 3, forthcoming, will focus on the beat and soul boom of the 1960s and the increasing sophistication of popular songwriting.
