Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music?: Larry Norman and the Perils of Christian Rock by Gregory Alan Thornbury

informative medium-paced

3.5

In Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music, Gregory Alan Thornbury provides a deft biography of the late singer/songwriter Larry Norman. The book is an examination of Norman's career as it parallels the beginnings of what would become Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) and the writing lends itself more to readers familiar with the genre as the author assumes a general knowledge of CCM and its broader culture.
