How has the history of rock 'n' roll been told? Has it become
formulaic? Or remained, like the music itself, open to outside
influences? Who have been the genre's primary historians? What
common frameworks or sets of assumptions have music history
narratives shared? And, most importantly, what is the cost of
failing to question such assumptions? "Stories We Could
Tell:Putting Words to American Popular Music" identifies eight
typical strategies used when critics and historians write about
American popular music, and subjects each to forensic analysis.
This posthumous book is a unique work of cultural historiography
that analyses, catalogues, and contextualizes music writing in
order to afford the reader new perspectives on the field of
cultural production, and offer new ways of thinking about, and
writing about, popular music.
