Book Description

Publication Date: Jan 1 1990
This pioneering work in Canadian pop music criticism analyses the work of some of the country's most acclaimed musicians, winners of national and international awards and recognition.

Marco Adria examines the songs of eight Canadian artists who belong to pop music's literati--singer-songerwriters whose work reflects considerable refinement and taste. Gordon Lightfoot, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Cockburn, Murray McLaughlan, Jane Siberry and k.d. lang are all artists with considerable insight both in Canada and abroad. Individual chapters on each offer thoughtful accounts of their careers and their achievements as interpreters of contemporary popular culture.

Music of our Times presents new insights and new understandings of Canada's most acclaimed musicians.

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall good, but slightly lacking in research April 1 2006
By Allan McPherson
Format:Hardcover
While this book seems well-researched, and quite useful in study, or merely interesting, there is one glaring error. While it is commonly believed that Rolling Stone declared Joni Mitchell's, The Hissing of Summer Lawns, the worst album of the year (as is stated in this book), it was in fact declared the worst album title of the year. This lack of research and reliance on hear-say backing brings the accuracy of all other information in this book under scrutiny.
