From Muddy Waters to Mick Jagger, Elvis to Freddie Mercury, Jeff
Buckley to Justin Timberlake, masculinity in popular music has been
an issue explored by performers, critics, and audiences. From the
dominance of the blues singer over his "woman" to the sensitive
singer/songwriter, popular music artists have adopted various
gendered personae in a search for new forms of expression.
Sometimes these roles shift as the singer ages, attitudes change,
or new challenges on the pop scene arise; other times, the persona
hardens into a shell-like mask that the performer struggles to
escape. Oh Boy! Masculinities and Popular Music is the first
serious study of how forms of masculinity are negotiated,
constructed, represented and addressed across a range of popular
music texts and practices. Written by a group of internationally
recognized popular music scholars-including Sheila Whiteley,
Richard Middleton, and Judith Halberstam-these essays study the
concept of masculinity in performance and appearance, and how both
male and female artists have engaged with notions of masculinity in
popular music.
