About this title

Synopsis

Clarke, Donald, Tobler, John

Reviews

There has long been a need for a comprehensive reference tool for popular music, no matter what one means by "popular." This encyclopedia fills the void nicely, offering basic information on rock, country, jazz, gospel, heavy metal, reggae, rap, ragtime, new age, folk, zydeco, funk, punk, and the blues. The nearly 3000 extremely readable entries describe artists, albums, labels, and genres, weaving an intricate web of cross-references, comparisons among artists, and references to covers and collaborations. A 90-page index pulls together most of the loose threads (regrettably dismissing the enormous contributions of pop music legends with a passim ). A bargain; highly recommended.

Store Description

A bookstore with that lost independent feel ? a relaxed, inviting environment conducive to discovery, where quality takes precedence over quantity, where the books marginalized by commercial concerns have a home. If you come in looking for something specific, we will have it or we will find it for you. If you're looking for nothing in particular, you can lose yourself in a world of new ideas.
