Reviews

For those of us with a fondness for Rounder and all the offbeat music it has brought us throughout the years, this book . . . is a must-have. -- Sing Out! [An] intriguing examination of the commercialization of 'noncommercial' music. . . . Recommended. -- Choice <br>


"""With care and grace, Scully details the power struggles, the hirings and resignations, the handwringing and public denunciations that characterize any organization that tries to blend notions of cultural purity with commercial ambitions."" American Studies ""A clear, intelligent, insightful, and open-minded look into the world of folk music. This well-researched book details the conflicts inherent in a hard-to-define musical genre."" Tommy Erdelyi (Ramone) ""Scully covers new territory in exploring the recent history of folk music in the United States by focusing on Rounder Records and the North American Folk Music and Dance Alliance. This book is essential for anyone interested in recent developments in folk music and its role in the aftermath of the folk revival of the 1960s."" Ronald D. Cohen, author of Folk Music: The Basics"
