Abstract:
Hailed as the definitive account of the classic era of American popular music, this essential book is now brought fully up-to-date in a third edition by popular music scholar Robert Rawlins, just in time for the 50th anniversary of its original publication. Both skillfully analytical and engagingly informal, American Popular Song examines the musical qualities that created a uniquely American art form.
