Book Reviews of Lost Sounds: Blacks and the Birth of the Recording Industry, 1890-1919 (Music in American Life)

Book Review: Updating History
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an excellent addition to the study of African American history, So many of the facts presented are those that not even the "seniors" knew. I have used this book to include information in lectures and class settings.
