Organized in short easy-to-read essays, this collection provides historical context to specific songs but also demonstrates how certain songs facilitated the popularity of particular genres, subsequently reshaping the landscape of American popular music. America's Songs II: Songs from the 1890's to the Post-War Years will appeal to American popular music enthusiasts but will also serve as an ideal reference guide for students or as a supplement in American music courses.
