This book explores the nooks and crannies of the pop music world, unearthing lost gems from should-have-been major artists (Sugarpie DeSanto, Judee Sill), revisiting lesser known works by established icons (Marvin Gayes post-divorce kissoff album, Here MyDear; The Ramones Subterranean Jungle), and spotlighting musicians who simply dont fit into neat categories (k. mccarty, Exuma). The books encyclopedic alphabetical structure throws off strange sparks as disparate genres and eras rub against each other: folk-psych iconoclasts face louche pop crooners; outsider artists set their odd masterpieces down next to obscurities from the stars; lo-fi garage rock cuddles up with the French avant-garde; and roots rock weirdoes trip over bubblegum. This book will delight any jukebox junkie or pop culture fan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789422092341,"sku":"ByrdShop_0415969980","price":25.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780415969987_4215eecd-5b85-423a-881f-0a2cc733dbea.jpg?v=1784755027","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/lost-in-the-grooves-9780415969987","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
