The volume is anchored in music from the 1960s, when a concentration of artists transformed modes of popular music from entertainment to art-that-entertains. Musician Mike Mattison and literary historian Ernest Suarez synthesize a wide range of writing about blues and rock-biographies, histories, articles in popular magazines, personal reminiscences, and a selective smattering of academic studies-to examine the development of a relatively new literary genre dubbed by the authors as "poetic song verse." They argue that poetic song verse was nurtured in the fifties and early sixties by the blues and in Beat coffee houses, and matured in the mid-to-late sixties in the art of Bob Dylan, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Gil Scott-Heron, Van Morrison, and others who used voice, instrumentation, arrangement, and production to foreground semantically textured, often allusive, and evocative lyrics that resembled and engaged poetry. Among the questions asked in Poetic Song Verse are: What, exactly, is this new genre? What were its origins? And how has it developed? How do we study and assess it? To answer these questions, Mattison and Suarez engage in an extended discussion of the roots of the relationship between blues-based music and poetry and address how it developed into a distinct literary genre. Unlocking the combination of richly textured lyrics wedded to recorded music reveals a dynamism at the core of poetic song verse that can often go unrealized in what often has been considered merely popular entertainment. This volume balances historical details and analysis of particular songs with accessibility to create a lively, intelligent, and cohesive narrative that provides scholars, teachers, students, music influencers, and devoted fans with an overarching perspective on the poetic power and blues roots of this new literary genre"--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Popular music $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Songs $v Texts $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Blues (Music) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Music and literature. 650 7 $a Blues (Music) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00835056 650 7 $a Music and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030479 650 7 $a Popular music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071422 650 7 $a Songs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01126120 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Suarez, Ernest, $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Mattison, Mike. $t Poetic song verse $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2021 $z 9781496837295 $w (DLC) 2021026157 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020049.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A3F67468FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
