History of Rock and Roll with Rhapsody

Here’s your backstage pass to the history of rock and roll.

Thomas Larson’s History of Rock & Roll connects music and the culture in which it interacted.

Designed for the college non-music major, History of Rock & Roll fuses a text, website, and online music library to cover the music’s story of controversy, tragedy, and self-indulgence; and also of love, peace, and the triumph of the human spirit.

To meet the needs of today’s instructors and students in the information world, History of Rock & Roll:

• Details the most important rock styles, how they evolved, and their important artists, as well as a listing of key recordings in each.
• Contains biographical information on recording artists, composers, producers, DJs, record executives, and other figures.
• Includes access to an accompanying website with interactive activities, listening guides, audio/video links, test banks, and full course management software to assess comprehension.
• Includes a four-month subscription to Rhapsody, an online music service with access to over 32 million songs along with written synopses on 65 important recordings.
