An impressive and important contribution to popular music studies. . .Brackett’s work could function not just as a model for popular music analysis but also as a very helpful introduction to popular music culture and history. Starting from a musicological perspective, Brackett addresses many of the problems raised by the sociological account of popular music that has so far dominated the field. . . . should become essential reading in any popular music course.–Simon Frith, author of Performing Rites: On the Value of Popular Music
