Description:

This book provides both a historical survey of rock from its evolution in the mid-1950s to the 21st century and introduces elements of music exclusively through rock and roll. A multitude of rock variations amid a bewildering array of styles, from soft rock to heavy metal to country rock. Each style is acutely analyzed with equal emphasis and an objective point of view. The Beatles, Elvis Presley, the Rolling Stones, the Grateful Dead, and Chicago are only a few of the many great rock artists who are featured in order to exemplify stylistic characteristics throughout the book.
