Table of ContentsReviewsWhen music critics and fans debate such lofty imponderables as the greatest records of all time or the most influential artists ever, they are necessarily referring to the vast library of recorded sound produced during the 20th Century. Few writers have the knowledge or wherewithal to take on a span of time that delivered everyone from Louis Armstrong to Miles Davis, Robert Johnson to Led Zeppelin, Bing Crosby to the Beatles and onward--Ellington to Elvis, Hank to Hendrix, Coltrane to Cobain. William Ruhlmann has managed, in a single volume, to encapsulate virtually the entire history of recorded popular music, from the age of the wax cylinder to the advent of the MP3. It's a truly remarkable tale, told in lively, informative prose that encourages discovery and compels the reader to marvel. -Jeff Tamarkin, author of Got a Revolution: The Turbulent Flight of Jefferson Airplane When music critics and fans debate such lofty imponderables as the greatest records of all time or the most influential artists ever, they are necessarily referring to the vast library of recorded sound produced during the 20th Century.
