Recent years have seen an acceleration in the development of the serious study of popular music, as scholars from a wide variety of disciplines (anthropology, musicology, sociology, etc.) begin to explore in detail this rich and fascinating area of human communication and artistic expression: but hitherto there has been no one publication that could give cohesion and direction to these developing studies and provide a regular forum with a multi-disciplinary basis. The new yearbook Popular Music will do this. Each volume will contain between ten and fifteen authoritative essays on a specific theme, written in an accessible style. The theme for Popular Music 1 is ‘Folk or popular? Distinctions, influences, continuities’. Popular Music also aims to provide a more extensive reviewing service in the area of popular music than can be found at present in any one publication. Each volume will contain detailed reviews of between twenty and thirty recent books and sets of recordings. Future issues will also include an annotated bibliography.
