Michael Scott Cain

4.9/5 (16686 ratings)

Description:Americana is a music that defies definition. It is not rock, although it encompasses rock. It isn't folk, but folk is there. It isn't Celtic, but is woven with Celtic threads. It is a blend of forms, music that draws on a wide range of influences. Gathering these many genres together, Americana music continually reinvents itself and actively tells its own story of its origins and its future. The Americana Revolution: From Country and Blues Roots to the Avett Brothers, Mumford & Sons, and Beyond is an informal social history that describes Americana as both a musical genre and a movement, showing what it is, where it came from and where it is going. Musician and historian Michael Cain examines the way the idea of genre, especially Americana, affects the creation and consumption of music. He tries to discern the formulas of this slippery genre and seeks out the places where artists have broken or bent those formulas in the name of creativity. Through anecdotes and interviews, Cain provides a firsthand view into the creation of Americana, trying to clarify how the genre can be categorized and defined. Through the stories of its creators both long gone and new to the scene, Americana music comes alive as a diverse melting pot of creative genius. With this book, Cain grants music lovers from all backgrounds an unparalleled view onto the future of a music that embraces new influences but never forgets its roots.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
