"ROCKIN' OUT: Popular Music in the USA is a vital addition to the history of America's most popular product. Reebee Garofalo takes the reader from pop to rock 'n' roll through punk and rap, always careful to assign credit to African-American inspiration and pioneers. Everyone is here―performers, producers, engineers, salesmen, hucksters, and geniuses. If you want to know who put rock and roll in rock 'n' roll, and how and why it happened, read this book." ― Julian Bond
"Garofalo presents a fascinating account of American popular music―its evolution and exploitation by the music industry. While discussing the many forms that comprise this tradition, he explores the role of race, culture, class, technology, and profit in its production and mass marketing. The most comprehensive survey of post-World War II American popular music to date, ROCKIN' OUT is a book every popular music enthusiast must read." ― -Portia K. Maultsby, Ethnomusicologist, Indiana University/Bloomington
"ROCKIN' OUT is right on! Compelling, comprehensive, and complete, this book represents the history of popular music in the USA in a way that we've never seen before. Garofalo knows the artists, the audience, and the industry, and he tells their stories in original and insightful- ways. But he also connects popular music to the social world that gives it determinate shape, explaining how commercial forces, mass migration, urban life, and consumer culture have shaped the origins and evolution of the music we love. From Sinatra to Springsteen, from Motown to Madonna, from Tin Pan Alley to Tupac Shakur, Garofalo deftly mixes understanding and empathy with keen critical analysis..." ― George Lipsitz, Professor, Ethnic Studies, University of California/San Diego, Author of TIME PASSAGES
