Rockin' Out: Popular Music in the USA analyzes the music and business of rock and roll. Taking readers from the invention of the phonograph to the promise of the Internet, this comprehensive text covers the rise of television idols, the proliferation of alternative sounds, the influence of digital production techniques, and more.

For the 6th Edition, longtime author Reebee Garofalo is joined by co-author Steve Waksman, a professor at Smith College and a heavily published rock scholar. Professor Waksman has thoroughly revised each chapter to reflect recent research and scholarship. Engaging contemporary material, especially in punk, rap and metal, explains recent developments in the genre and explores where rock may be headed next.
