520    "Roots rock, Americana, alt country: what are they and why
       do they matter? Americans have been trying to answer these
       questions for as long as the music bearing these labels 
       has existed. In It's Just the Normal Noises, Timothy Gray 
       examines a wide array of writing about roots music from 
       the 1960s to the present. In addition to chapters on the 
       genre-defining work of Guralnick and Marcus, he explores 
       the influential writings of Grant Alden and Peter 
       Blackstock, the editors of No Depression magazine, and the
       writers who contributed to its pages, Bill Friskicks-
       Warren, Ed Ward, David Cantwell, and Allison Stewart among
       them. A host of memoirists and novelists, from Patti Smith
       and Ann Powers to Eleanor Henderson and Dana Spiotta, shed
       light on the social effects and personal attachments of 
       the music's many manifestations, from punk to alt country 
       to hardcore. This book is for everyone who's heard in 
       roots rock the sound of an individual and a nation singing
       themselves into being."--Back cover.
