Here's your backstage pass to the history of rock and roll.
Thomas Larson's History of Rock & Roll connects music and the culture in which it interacted.
Designed for the college non-music major, History of Rock & Roll fuses a text, website, and online music library to cover the music's story of controversy, tragedy, and self-indulgence; and also of love, peace, and the triumph of the human spirit.,
To meet the needs of today's instructors and students in the information world, History of Rock & Roll:
- Details the most important rock styles, how they evolved, and their important artists, as well as a listing of key recordings in each.
- Contains biographical information on recording artists, composers, producers, DJs, record executives, and other figures.
