The New "Rolling Stone" Album Guide by Brackett Nathan

The New "Rolling Stone" Album Guide by Brackett Nathan

It is often difficult to assess the many new emerging music genres without some guidance from a well-respected voice to help differentiate the good from the mediocre, the classic from the fleeting. THE NEW ROLLING STONE ALBUM GUIDE provides readers with such direction, categorising the new sounds with insightful analyses and critical judgement. The new guide celebrates rock's diversity and it's constant metamorphoses. Continuing the useful one-to-five-star ratings of THE ROLLING STONE ALBUM GUIDE, published in 1992, the new volume gets a fresh makeover with the addition of new artists, as well as updated entries, without compromising the indispensable material in the original guide. In addition, a new introduction addresses the changes in the music industry and explores the brouhaha surrounding internet music downloads. Rolling Stone editors Nathan Brackett, Joe Levy, Christian Hoard, and Jenny Eliscu write new entries and update existing material with flair and authority, making this volume the guide to own. With clarity and accuracy, the editors feature records from the seminal bands and DJs that epitomise the beats of the Nineties and the incipient sounds of the 21st century.

ROLLING STONE is the most successful popular culture magazine of all time, with a circulation of over 1.5 million. The contributing authors to this book include Tom Wolfe, Deborah Harry, Vivienne Westwood, Hunter S Thompson, Joan Baez, Chet Flippo, Chrissie Hynde, Ben Fong-Torres, David Ritz, Susan Brownmiller, Joe Esterhauz, Billy Altman and Mikal Gilmore.
