Description

For courses in Introduction to Rock Music Examine the social and business sides of rock history Rockin' Out: Popular Music In the U.S.A. analyzes the music and business of rock 'n' roll. Covering topics such as the rise of television idols, the proliferation of alternative sounds, and the influence of digital production techniques, this comprehensive, introductory text takes readers from the invention of the phonograph to the promise of the Internet. Joining longtime author Reebee Garafalo for the Sixth Edition, co-author Steve Waksman--professor at Smith College and heavily published rock scholar--has thoroughly revised each chapter to include new research and more current literature. NOTE: This ISBN is for a Pearson Books a la Carte edition: a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf text.
