Description
xPopular music became an explosive cultural force in the 1960s, ?70s and ?80s.
Featuring an exciting array of images and objects connected with some of the era's most influential artists, Retro highlights how musicians and listeners in Canada experimented, challenged the status quo, and sparked new forms of creative expression.
Explore the work of iconic singer-songwriters such as Joni Mitchell and Robert Charlebois, stadium-filling acts such as The Band, Céline Dion, and Rush, and bold trendsetters such as Rough Trade and Kashtin.
This book reveals how music can be social, personal and political ? often all at the same time. Transporting readers to different places and times, Retro shines a new light on the era's ongoing influence and enduring impact.
