A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Exploring rock'n' roll from its roots in the Mississippi Delta to the present, author Dave Szatmary connects rock music to the changing cultures in the U.S. and Great Britain.

As you travel through the five decades of rock, you will learn about the pioneering efforts of African Americans in the birth of rock and roll; the importance of the postwar Baby Boom on Presleymania; and the connection between Civil Rights and Bob Dylan, Motown, and soul music. Find out about the impact of the Vietnam War on the shattering blues of Jimi Hendrix; the link between the Me Decade and glam and disco; the British economic depression that led to the rise of punk;. how a disillusioned Generation X developed grunge and rap; and the forging of nu-metal in the age of the Internet.

This new edition has been significantly revised to include:

• the British psychedelic scene
• arena rock
• the lasting influence of Ozzy Osbourne
• country rock during the 1980s
• the poster art of rock
• new insights in L.A. punk
• the rap-metal of Korn and Limp Bizkit
• the funk rock of the Red Hot Chili Peppers
• rock in the age of the Internet
• the nu-metal of Creed, Incubus, Nickelback, Staind, and others

Présentation de l'éditeur :

For undergraduate courses in Rock and Roll Music History, Recent American History, American Sociology, and African-American History.

 

Rockin' in Time intrigues students by providing a social history of Rock and Roll music and explaining its influence.

 

Story:  This book was written to address an area that seldom has been discussed.  Rather than a compellation of the many bands in rock history or a guide to teach the musical notation of rock, this book uncovers the reasons for the various trends and types of rock and roll.  It places rock and roll in the context of the social issues that surround and shape it, dealing with the influence on rock music of such trends as technological advances, the development of the music business, demographic change and the baby boom, economic shifts, and the civil rights movement.
