HTML:<b>The essential playlist of great writing about the music that rocked America, with fifty landmark pieces on Otis Redding, Janis Joplin, Lez Zepplin, and other rock n’ roll legends</b><br /> <br /> Jonathan Lethem and Kevin Dettmar's&#160;<i>Shake It Up&#160;</i>invites the reader into the tumult and excitement of the rock revolution through fifty landmark pieces by a supergroup of writers on rock in all its variety, from heavy metal to disco, punk to hip-hop. Stanley Booth describes a recording session with Otis Redding; Ellen Willis traces the meteoric career of Janis Joplin; Ellen Sander recalls the chaotic world of Led Zeppelin on tour; Nick Tosches etches a portrait of the young Jerry Lee Lewis; Eve Babitz remembers Jim Morrison. Alongside are Lenny Kaye on acapella and Greg Tate on hip-hop, Vince Aletti on disco and Gerald Early on Motown; Robert Christgau on Prince, Nelson George on Marvin Gaye, Luc Sante on Bob Dylan, Hilton Als on&#160;Michael Jackson, Anthony DeCurtis on the Rolling Stones, Kelefa Sanneh on Jay Z.<br /> &#160;<br /> The story this anthology tells is a ongoing one: “it’s too early,” editors Jonathan Lethem and Kevin Dettmar note, “for canon formation in a field so marvelously volatile—a volatility that mirrors, still, that of pop music itself, which remains smokestack lightning. The writing here attempts to catch some in a bottle.”&#160;<br /> <br /> <b>Also features:</b><br /> <br /> NAT HENTOFF on&#160;BOB DYLAN&#160;<br /> AMIRI BARAKA on&#160;R&amp;B&#160;<br /> LESTER BANGS on&#160;ELVIS PRESLEY&#160;<br /> ROBERT CHRISTGAU on&#160;PRINCE&#160;<br /> DEBRA RAE COHEN on&#160;DAVID BOWIE&#160;<br /> EVE BABITZ on&#160;JIM MORRISON&#160;<br /> ROBERT PALMER on&#160;SAM COOKE&#160;<br /> CHUCK KLOSTERMAN on&#160;HEAVY METAL&#160;<br /> JESSICA HOPPER on&#160;EMO&#160;<br /> JOHN JEREMIAH SULLIVAN on&#160;AXL ROSE&#160;<br /> ELIJAH WALD on&#160;THE BEATLES&#160;<br /> GREIL MARCUS on&#160;CHRISTIAN MARCLAY.
