by Eric Weisbard
In Songbooks, critic and scholar Eric Weisbard offers a critical guide to books on American popular music from William Billings's 1770 New-England Psalm-Singer to Jay-Z's 2010 memoir Decoded. Drawing on his background editing the Village Voice music section, coediting the Journal of Popular Music Studies,
and organizing the Pop Conference, Weisbard connects American music
writing from memoirs, biographies, and song compilations to blues
novels, magazine essays, and academic studies. The authors of these
works are as diverse as the music itself: women, people of color, queer
writers, self-educated scholars, poets, musicians, and elites discarding
their social norms. Whether analyzing books on Louis Armstrong, the
Beatles, and Madonna; the novels of Theodore Dreiser, Gayl Jones, and
Jennifer Egan; or varying takes on blackface minstrelsy, Weisbard charts
an alternative history of American music as told through its writing.
As Weisbard demonstrates, the most enduring work pursues questions that
linger across time period and genre-cultural studies in the form of
notes on the fly, on sounds that never cease to change meaning.
