  • Rock Music Is a Genre of Popular Music That Entered the Mainstream in the 1950S
    Rock music is a genre of popular music that entered the mainstream in the 1950s. It has its roots in 1940s and 1950s rock and roll, rhythm and blues, country music and also drew on folk music, jazz and classical music. The sound of rock often revolves around the electric guitar, a back beat laid down by a rhythm section of electric bass guitar, drums, and keyboard instruments such as Hammond organ, piano, or, since the 1970s, synthesizers. Along with the guitar or keyboards, saxophone and blues-style harmonica are sometimes used as soloing instruments. In its "purest form", it "has three chords, a strong, insistent back beat, and a catchy melody."[1] In the late 1960s and early 1970s, rock music developed different subgenres. When it was blended with folk music it created folk rock, with blues to create blues-rock and with jazz, to create jazz-rock fusion. In the 1970s, rock incorporated influences from soul, funk, and Latin music. Also in the 1970s, rock developed a number of subgenres, such as soft rock, glam rock, heavy metal, hard rock, progressive rock, and punk rock. Rock subgenres that emerged in the 1980s included new wave, hardcore punk and alternative rock. In the 1990s, rock subgenres included grunge, Britpop, indie rock, and nu metal. A group of musicians specializing in rock music is called a rock band or rock group. Many rock groups consist of an electric guitarist, lead singer, bass guitarist, and a drummer, forming a quartet. Some groups omit one or more of these roles or utilize a lead singer who plays an instrument while singing, sometimes forming a trio or duo; others include additional musicians such as one or two rhythm guitarists or a keyboardist.

  • Rock Music's Crusade of Authenticity
    ROCK MUSIC’S CRUSADE OF AUTHENTICITY by DANIEL BROMFIELD A THESIS Presented to the Department of Journalism and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts June 2016 An Abstract of the Thesis of Daniel Bromfield for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the School of Journalism and Communications to be taken June 2016 Title: Rock Music's Crusade Of Authenticity Prof. Thomas Wheeler This thesis attempts to define rock music's standards of authenticity and explore their origins. Included are comparison of rock's standards of authenticity to those of other genres and an exploration of how authenticity has been perceived throughout the history of rock music. This study argues that rock's standards of authenticity are unusual among pop music genres in that they entail artists both writing their own songs and playing their own instruments. This is in contrast to genres like hip hop, contemporary pop, and R&B, which have their own quite different standards of authenticity. Quotes from rock fans, critics, and musicians are used to provide insight into rock's standards of authenticity and how they developed over time. ii Acknowledgements I would like to first and foremost thank my father for introducing me to music. If not for his decision to turn me on to the Beatles one sunny day in June 2006, I would surely be pursuing a far more boring career – and thesis topic. And I would like to thank my mother for giving me a great life and being endlessly supportive.

As it turned out, the collective talents of The Marshall Tucker Band took them very far indeed. Today, the band records on its own RAMBLIN’ RECORDS Label (distributed by Sony/RED) and continues to release new and previously unreleased material. Still led today by founding member and lead singer Doug Gray, they represent a time and place in music that will never be duplicated. Gray is quick to credit the band's current dynamic members with carrying on the timeless essence of The Marshall Tucker Band sound. Current members include the highly respected drummer B.B. Borden, a former member of both Mother's Finest and The Outlaws, multi instrumentalist Marcus Henderson of Macon, Georgia, plays flute, saxophone and keyboards in addition to lead and background vocals, Pat Elwood on bass guitar, and Rick Willis on lead guitar and vocals, both of Spartanburg SC, are disciples of the MEDIA RELATIONS DEPARTMENT PO BOX 389 RHINEBECK, NY 12572 PHONE: (845) 876-4000 FAX: (845) 876-4003 Caldwell Brothers.

  • Whiskey Soaked and Hell Bound. Lynyrd Skynyrd and Southern Culture
    WHISKEY SOAKED AND HELL BOUND: LYNYRD SKYNYRD AND SOUTHERN CULTURE CECIL K. HUTSON lowa State University (Resumen) Aunque el grupo sureño Lynyrd Skynyrd alcanzó audiencia nacional por su especial modo de hacer rock del sur, en toda su carrera se aprecia una fuerte defensa de los valores tradionales de la cultura sureña. La bandera confederada en todas sus portadas, el orgullo regional, el agrarianismo rural, y la apología al macho sureño, todo ello proyectado en violencia y provocación, convirtieron al grupo en paradigma del conservadurismo del Viejo Sur. Unlike other hard rock groups, the legendary Southern rock and roll band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, did not emerge from the urban ghettos of such cities as London or New York, instead it came out of the rural South. This "rough and tough and plenty mean" Southern band utilized regional cultural traits to become one of the best hard rock bands that the South ever produced. In 1974 Melody Maker, a major rock and roll trades magazine, claimed that Lynyrd Skynyrd's "brand" of Southern rock music had swept across the Southern states. Band members and Southemers, Ronnie Van Zant, Alien Collins, Gary Rossington, Billy Powell, León Wilkeson, Artimus Pyle and Steve Gaines understood the mind-set of the young rural Southemers who listened to their music; thus they were able to speak for a generation of young Southern men. Lynyrd Skynyrd merits study as a major element of Southern popular culture because it had a significant influence on rock 'n' roll. In fact, the band has been labeled as "one of the most

  • Music 262: Rock Music, History and Social Analysis, 70S Hard Rock
    Music 262: Rock Music, History and Social Analysis, 70s Hard Rock [Music Playing on Piano] [Brian Ward]: Okay so coming out of the rhythm and blues and blues bands that came out of Britain, we have this kind of mainstream of rock n’ roll that happens in the 1970s. The label is a very loose label. It’s called hard rock nowadays. There are really two branches of hard rock. We still have the British hard rock coming out that’s based on these blues bands. We also have the American hard rock that takes on this southern rock sort of aesthetic. During the 70s rock continues to go in this mainstream direction and it’s mainly blues based. One of the first of these bands that we can really call hard rock was the band called Cream. They come from Britain. They are a power trio. We have Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, and Jack Bruce. These guys kind of continue in the tradition of The Yardbirds. What they do is they have these epic solos on the guitar, very improvisational music. But along with that they have these more riff based songs and a heavier sound. Those along with Led Zeppelin and you can kind of say they started the whole heavy metal movement, but very early on. So the heavy metal aspects of these bands are these heavy guitar riffs and a lot of blues jamming going on. Clapton kind of broke the band up and he started a super group called Blind Faith. In Blind Faith we have a guy named Steve Winwood.

Eastman1 Abstract Southern men occupy a contradictory place in U.S. culture as the rest of the country stereotypes them as backwards and deviant, yet simultaneously cel- ebrates Southern males as quintessential exemplars of American manhood. I explore this contradiction using interviews with musicians, participant observation of concerts, and an ethnographic content analysis of contempo- rary Southern rock lyrics and websites. I find marginalized men embrace a Southern rebel identity to meet hegemonic masculine ideals shared across social classes and geographic regions. Rebels reject the middle class roles and cultural capital most men use to signify their manhood by accruing au- thority and resources through education, career, and family. Instead, southern rebels empower the masculine self by protesting authority figures, dominat- ing women and signifying their independence by drinking, using drugs, and brawling. While rebels define their selves in contrast to middle-class mor- als and practices, dismissing them as deviant and backward overlooks how rebels use the symbolic resources they have at their disposal to meet the hegemonic masculine ideals celebrated throughout the country.
