Product Description
This text provides an overview of the four major areas of American contemporary music: jazz, rock, country, and musical theater. Each genre is approached chronologically with the emphasis on the socio-cultural aspects of the music. Readers will appreciate Joyner's engaging writing style and come away with the fundamental skills needed to listen critically to a variety of popular music styles.
Reader Reviews
This, without a doubt, is the worst textbook I have ever read. Not only is the grammar extremely poor, but basically all of the information is taken from the WWW. Instead of buying this book, I recommend that you go to www.allmusic.com and go through the music eras--you'll learn more. In fact, the author of this horrible excuse for a history book even admits to taking most of his information from Allmusic. Horrible, horrible book.
