Rock and Roll: Its History and Stylistic Development

Prentice Hall

A book that attempts to fulfil two roles; a historical survey of rock from the mid-1950's onward and an educational work that explains musical elements, such as melody, form and rhythm, using examples from rock music. Includes a section about the Grateful Dead which concentrates on the performances recorded on the Live/Dead album.

Later editions have been updated to include more recent developments in rock music.

Includes a discography and a bibliography.
