Wayne Robins ‘Robins presents his [work] with enthusiasm and breezy good humour, yet manages unpretentiously to hammer home his historical points and musical opinions ... His tone is ideal for the topic and format, a welcome relief from the disproportionate number of self-important academic treatises on modern popular music.’ – Kirkus Reviews The birth of rock ‘n’ roll signalled the blossoming of a new teenage culture, dividing generations and introducing a new attitude of rebellion and independence. From Chuck Berry to the Beatles, from punk rock to hip hop, rock ‘n’ roll has continuously transformed alongside or in reaction to social, cultural, and political changes. A Brief History of Rock, Off the Record is a concise introduction to rock history and the impact it has had on American culture. It is an easy-to-read, vivid account written by one of rock’s leading critics. Pulling from personal interviews over the years, Wayne Robins interweaves the developments in rock music with his commentary on the political and social events and movements that defined their decades. 2007: 234x156: 328pp Hb: 978-0-415-97472-1: £60.00 Pb: 978-0-415-97473-8: £13.99 • AVAILABLE AS AN INSPECTION COPY $95.00

From Tejano to Tango
A Brief History of Rock, Off the Record
Expression in Pop-Rock Music is a collection of critical and analytical essays written by today’s top scholars on pop and rock music. Applying a wide variety of analytical techniques and critical approaches in the study of songs by artists such as Tori Amos, David Bowie, James Brown, the Cure, Genesis, Radiohead, and Frank Zappa, these essays tackle the musical text itself in coming to terms with political, social, cultural, and stylistic issues expressed in the most popular music of the past half-century. It has been expanded in its second edition to include three new essays and other additions accounting for the changes to the popular music landscape since its first edition, with particular attention paid to the rise of hip-hop and country music.
The Popular Music Studies Reader Edited by Andy Bennett, Barry Shank and Jason Toynbee The Popular Music Studies Reader maps the changing nature of popular music over the last decade and considers how popular music studies has expanded and developed to deal with these changes.
