The Bloomsbury Handbook of Rock Music Research stands as a groundbreaking academic exploration of the ever-evolving world of rock music. Spanning over half a century of its existence, this comprehensive volume continues to delve into the fundamental questions that have captivated scholars and enthusiasts alike: what precisely constitutes rock music, the reasons behind its scholarly interest, and how it functions as both a musical and cultural phenomenon.

To unravel these enigmas, this remarkable handbook brings together a collective of 37 esteemed scholars, each experts in their respective fields, who have dedicated their expertise to provide comprehensive answers. The text is structured into four pivotal sections: practice of rock, encompassing analysis, performance, and recording; theories, delving into the philosophical underpinnings of rock; business of rock, exploring the economic aspects and industry dynamics; and social and culture issues, examining the societal impact and cultural significance of rock.

Each chapter in this comprehensive volume combines two distinct approaches. Firstly, it offers a concise summary of the current knowledge in the specific area, presenting a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art research. Secondly, it goes beyond mere knowledge dissemination by exploring the practical implications and potential future directions of that research, offering insightful recommendations for further exploration.

By undertaking this in-depth investigation and presentation, The Bloomsbury Handbook of Rock Music Research truly earns its status as a tribute to the profound influence that rock music has had on the lives of millions worldwide. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, students, musicians, and enthusiasts alike, providing a comprehensive and authoritative exploration of this dynamic and ever-evolving musical genre.
