The story of American popular music is steeped in social history,
race, gender and class, its evolution driven by ephemeral
connection to young audiences. From Benny Goodman to Sinatra to
Elvis Presley to the Beatles, pop icons age out of the art form
while new musical styles pass from relevance to nostalgia within a
few years. At the same time, perennial forms like blues, jazz and
folk are continually rediscovered by new audiences. This book
traces the development of American music from its African roots to
the juke joint, club and concert hall, revealing a culture
perpetually reinventing itself to suit the next generation.
