Download Born in the U.S.A.: The Myths of America in Popular Music from Colonial Times to the Present AudioBook Free
This is actually the first analysis to explore fully the misconception of America as reflected in the country's popular music. Beginning with the tracks of the Pilgrims and continuing through more than two generations of record and music, Delivered in the U.S.A. shows the growing American myth and provides an in depth reading of the compositions of songwriters as diverse as William Billings, Henry Clay Work, Irving Berlin, Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springsteen. So that the full and diverse narrative of this complex region might be noted, this insightful analysis is focused both after the national misconception and after the songwriters and performers representing subcultures and alternate viewpoints that will be the words of America's storyline. Through hymnlike paeans and through discordant lamentations protesting the realities of the modern workaday world, popular music can be an astonishing reflection of American record. The reserve is printed by School Press of Mississippi.
