Tim Anderson analyzes three sites of this music revolution: the change from a business centered around live performances to one based on selling records, the custom of simultaneously bringing out multiple versions of the same song, and the arrival of in-home high-fidelity stereo systems. Making Easy Listening presents a social and cultural history of the contentious, diverse, and experimental culture of musical production and enjoyment that aims to understand how recording technologies fit into and influence musicians', as well as listeners', lives. With attention to the details of what it means to play a particular record in a distinct cultural context, Anderson connects neglected genres of the musical canon - classical and easy listening music, Broadway musicals, and sound effects records - with the development of sound aesthetics and technical music practices that leave an indelible imprint on individuals. Tracing the countless impacts that this period of innovation exacted on the mass media, Anderson reveals how an examination of this historical era - and recorded music as an object - furthers a deeper understanding of the present-day American music industry. 000351019 650_0 $$aSound recording industry$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000351019 650_0 $$aSound recordings$$xProduction and direction$$zUnited States. 000351019 650_0 $$aPopular culture$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000351019 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000351019 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aAnderson, Tim J.$$tMaking easy listening.$$dMinneapolis : University of Minnesota Press, c2006$$z9780816645176$$z9780816645183$$w(DLC) 2005035679$$w(OCoLC)62535993 000351019 8520_ $$bacq 000351019 85280 $$bebk$$hProquest Ebook Central 000351019 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=310741$$zOnline access 000351019 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:351019$$pGLOBAL_SET 000351019 980__ $$aEBOOK 000351019 980__ $$aBIB 000351019 982__ $$aEbook 000351019 983__ $$aOnline
