PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
John Milward has written about popular music for more than forty years; he was the chief pop music critic for the Chicago Daily News and USA Today and has written for Rolling Stone, the New York Times, and No Depression. He is the author of Crossroads: How the Blues Shaped Rock 'n' Roll (and Rock Saved the Blues). Margie Greve's work has appeared in Rolling Stone and the New Yorker and has been shown in galleries in New York City and the Hudson Valley.
With fresh insight and a great sprinkling of anecdotal details, this is a fabulous addition to the canon, enhanced by portraits of the musicians from illustrator Greve. It would be impossible for Milward to pack any more information into this well-researched and comprehensive book. Recommended to anyone and everyone interested in the history of American music. --Library Journal (starred review) Americanaland provides a history, clearly showing a dedicated path through musical eras as it points a path to the future. --Alternate Root Concise, lively, and informative, with many colorful anecdotes adding intriguing detail. Milward's deep knowledge of music history and expertise on roots-music genres make Americanaland an essential addition to the music book canon. --Holly George-Warren, author of Janis: Her Life and Music There's a common thread that runs through the great patchwork quilt that's come to be known as Americana Music. John Milward has artfully followed every stitch of that thread and revealed the story behind every patch. In doing so he's made huge strides in giving this rich genre the legitimacy it deserves. --Larry Campbell Encyclopedic. Kaleidoscopic. John Millward [offers an] account of a century of American music culminating in what we now call Americana. Countless stories of those who have brought this music that bubbles up from a bottomless well sunk deep in American soil. --Jim Rooney John Milward's Americanaland is a book with a sense of place and rhythm. Both are impeccable. The joy of this veteran music writer's survey of the music that's come to be called Americana is that he ranges far, digs deep, and dismisses no sound. --Chapter 16 You won't read a better book on the origins of Americana music this year and I'd be willing to bet it will be quite some time before there's anything comparable to it. Americanaland is the book that many of us have been waiting for and Milward has timed his publishing perfectly to tap into the zeitgeist as this great music continues to make inroads around the world. --Americana UK
