Reviews

"John Paul Meyers does an excellent job of formulating perceptive analyses of rock, soul, funk, and hip-hop. Same Old Song gives us a new way to understand popular music and the various strands of concepts connected to it."" - Tony Bolden, author of Groove Theory: The Blues Foundation of Funk ""Lending a much-needed ethnomusicological perspective to a field largely dominated by theory and outsider analysis, Same Old Song is a valuable book in the study of the relationship between music and its past."" - Caitlin Vaughn Carlos, lecturer in musicology at the University of California Los Angeles’s Herb Alpert School of Music"
