Book Reviews of Girl Groups, Girl Culture: Popular Music and Identity in the 1960s
Book Review: not rock criticism, but an academic study of the girl groups
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent book, provided you realize what it is and what it's not. It is by a college professor and it is published by an academic publisher. It's an academic study. There are lots of footnotes.
So it is not for everyone. It is not INTENDED for everyone.
Warwick argues that the girl groups weren't just disposable pop music. They were a very prominent and important dimension of 1960s feminism. They were also an important element of the civil rights struggle of the time. For musicological analysis the writing is very accessible. I'll never listen to the Crystals in the same way again.
