Out of the Vinyl Deeps: On Rock Music by Ellen Willis

4.0

The last section of the book, The Sociologist, is superb. Unfortunately, EW spends too much time discussing the extremely obscure Miss Clawdy. Her preface to Trouble Girls: The Rolling Stone Book of Women in Rock was the most disappointing essay I may have ever read as its scope was so limited. Nonetheless, her thoughts on Dylan, The Who, and the last section more than make up for this problem. I am so glad I am now familiar with her work.
