In iSongbooksi, critic and scholar Eric Weisbard offers a critical guide to books on American popular music from William Billings's 1770 iNew-England Psalm-Singeri to Jay-Z's 2010 memoir iDecodedi. Drawing on his background editing the iVillage Voicei music section, coediting the iJournal of Popular Music Studiesi, 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.
