Ink on the Tracks: Rock and Roll Writing

Editat de Dr Adrian Grafe, Dr. Andrew McKeown
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 2026
This book embraces the multiplicity of forms of writing inspired by rock and roll.

Exploring a diverse range of formats including rock autobiography and gender, race and class in American rock journalism, rock obituaries, rock literature and spirituality, rock writing and promotion/packaging, and more, this book identifies and prioritizes writing forms often excluded from the categorization of rock music writing. Vitally, the volume places rock and roll writing within a wider cultural frame often overlooked by studies of traditional white male-led music journalism.

Recenzii

A remarkably wide-ranging collection of essays that stresses the extraordinary power of Rock and Roll to generate first-rate criticism and commentary. The essays are impressively eclectic, touching everything from the philosophy of Adorno to the poetics of liner notes.
You may be drawn to particular entries in Rock and Roll Writing's extraordinary range of topics and approaches, and you should stay for this entire exemplary collection. Throughout the entire anthology, whether a discussion of Patti Smith's elegiac writings, a challenge to Adorno's disparagement of popular music, a deep and informed look at the Grateful Dead's digital life - it's truly impossible to do justice to the collection's diversity - Rock and Roll Writing proves that intellectual seriousness can inspire your relationship with the music you love.
A stellar exploration of the multifarious connections between rock music and the written word, Rock and Roll Writing examines classic and more unexpected formats, offering fresh perspectives on crucial, contemporary issues.
Editors McKeown and Grafe have produced a vigorous rock concert of a book, each essay a hit in its own way. This well-researched and lively volume enables readers, whether scholars or aficionados, to tune in to the peculiarly enlightening heterogeneity of writing about Rock and Roll.
