Ink on the Tracks - Adrian Grafe

Résumé :
Exploring a diverse range of formats, this book identifies and prioritizes writing forms often excluded from the categorization of rock music writing. The scope of the book goes beyond rock journalism in order to take in many other forms of expression that can also be considered writing, such as album notes, gig reviews, rock biopics, and concert/tour programs and gives equal consideration to commercial and critical writing and fiction, memoir, and fantasy writing. Vitally, the volume places rock and roll writing within a wider cultural frame often overlooked by studies of traditional white male-led music journalism--
