Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself: Essays on Debut Albums (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Plasketes, George

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

These essays bring together the stories of 23 debut albums over a nearly fifty year span, ranging from Buddy Holly and the Crickets in 1957 to The Go! Team in 2004. In addition to biographical background and a wealth of historical information about the genesis of each album, essayists look back at the albums and place them within multiple contexts, particularly the artist's career development. In this way, the book will be of as much interest to sociologists and historians as to culture critics and musicologists.
