If you are familiar with turntables, needles, 78s and 33s, and the Victrola, then you may identify with William Howland Kenney's book as he writes of the relationship between recorded music and the social, political, and economic forces in America during the rise and fall of the phonograph. The book also has the biographies of famous recording artists and is a well-researched history of the industry.
Recorded Music in American Life: The Phonograph and Popular Memory, 1890-1945 is available today for the Kindle for only $3.17.
