From the publisher
"EPMOW lives music. Put another way, it does for popular music what Grove has done for classical"
David Brackett
" Excellent, readable and thoroughly useful...While some previous single-volume and multivolume works have addressed the development and current state of popular music, none has done so with this work's depth of scholarship and global reach. Scholarly, clearly written, and well indexed, it is an ideal reference set.' Library Journal"
