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. Includes access to an accompanying website with interactive activities, listening guides, audio/video links, test banks, and full course management software to assess comprehension. Includes a four-month subscription to Napster, an online music service that provides students with unlimited access to the music identified in the book and listened to in class. Features new and expanded content throughout – especially The Eighties, The Nineties and Beyond.
