My Take on the Book
Growing up on music of the 60's - 80's and having parents that encouraged me to get to know the artists and more about why they recorded the type of music that they did, I truly appreciated this book as it allows for my generation and beyond to be able to share so many different artists and types of music with kids today. I loved the inclusion of the listening guide for the reader, as it truly helps you, as a listener, or as the teacher to know where to start when it comes to listening and learning. I also appreciated how in-depth the analysis went when it came to each of the artists and their works. This truly was a complete book that allowed you to explore such a wide array of artists from different genres.
