Fourth Edition.
This concise edition of the multi-volume encyclopedia provides - in one single volume - an essential reference book for anyone who has a query about any aspect of twentieth-century popular music, including rock, dance, rap and R&B as well as blues, soul, country and folk.
For this new edition, the Muze research team - led by the encyclopedia's founder, Colin Larkin - have reviewed, amended and updated the entire text. They have assessed the inclusion of artists whose work has failed to stand the test of time, and created more than 350 new entries to reflect those who have only recently established themselves.
Includes the careers of those musicians who have sadly left the earthly stage are re-appraised, including Kirsty Maccoll, Ian Dury and John Lee Hooker.
Alongside rock 'n' roll greats and pop superstars, vibrant new arrivals to the encyclopedia include Coldplay, Atomic Kitten, Badly Drawn Boy and Macy Gray.
