About this product
Product Information
In the 1960s and 1970s, becoming a rock musician was fundamentally different than playing other kinds of music. It was a learned rather than a taught skill. In On Becoming a Rock Musician , sociologist H. Stith Bennett observes what makes someone a rock musician and what persuades others to take him seriously in this role. The book explores how bands form; the backstage and onstage reality of playing in a band; how bands promote themselves and interact with audiences and music professionals like DJs; and the role of performance.

Reviews
The information captured in these pages remains as relevant today as it was thirty years ago when rock and roll was still in its nova stage. Bennett's book is perhaps the only one of its kind to explain the relatively inscrutable process of how one finds their own 'sound,' and in so doing, he expands the reach of sociology deeper into the meaning of social music. A rare combination of scholarship and street smarts., The information captured in these pages remains as relevant today as it was thirty years ago when rock and roll was still in its nova stage. Bennett's book is perhaps the only one of it's kind to explain the relatively inscrutable process of how one finds their own "sound," and in so doing, he expands the reach of sociology deeper into the meaning of social music. A rare combination of scholarship and street smarts., At long last back in print and with a foreword by Howard Becker! This book is indispensable for any ethnomusicology of contemporary pop music. H. Stith Bennett brings the resources of phenomenology to the sociology of pop and rock music, meaning not only field work but method. Bennett's celebrated notion of recording consciousness is the key to On Becoming a Rock Musician , yet the book as a whole shows the reader how ethnomusicology is done.
