Description

Explore the deep connection between American music and the open road in this scholarly collection from Bloomsbury. While artists like Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Paul Simon are famous for their road-inspired songs, this book looks deeper into the history and meaning behind the genre. Through 13 detailed essays, readers can trace the roots of road music from its beginnings in blues, country-western, and rock 'n' roll. The book examines central themes such as freedom, adventure, mobility, and love that define these musical works. It also looks at the reality of touring and how the journey itself shapes the music and the artists. This work fills a significant gap in existing scholarship, offering a fresh perspective on how the American road and popular culture shape the sounds we love. It is an essential resource for students and enthusiasts interested in the history of folk music and the cultural impact of traveling through the American landscape.
