The James Bond Songs by Adrian Daub
You know the name. You know the number. And, strangely enough, you recognize the songs. The James Bond-songs have been a fixture of our musical landscape for over fifty years, a distinct genre we've sometimes admired, sometimes smirked at. This book delves into these songs, tracing a secret history of pop and of ourselves as listeners.
The James Bond Songs: Pop Anthems of Late Capitalism endeavors to trace not only the history of the James Bond music, but also the culture that the music influenced and the culture which influenced the music.. This may be an excellent book for a graduate seminar in popular music history. * Amanda Pilmer Roberts, Music Reference Services Quarterly *
Daub and Kronengold's knowledge of the Bond franchise literary, cinematic and musical is thorough and well-informed, and their ability to make connections suggests they have spent much of their lives in the company of Agent 007. * Andrew Ford, Inside Story *
