OUT OF THE VINYL DEEPS: Ellen Willis on Rock Music (book trailer)

"At a time when rock clichés were still being invented, Willis was already leaving them behind." —Rob Sheffield, Rolling Stone
In 1968, the New Yorker hired Ellen Willis as its first popular music critic. Her column, ROCK, ETC., ran for seven years and established Willis as a leader in cultural commentary and a pioneer in the nascent and otherwise male-dominated field of rock criticism.
More than simply setting the record straight, OUT OF THE VINYL DEEPS reintroduces Willis's singular approach and style—her use of music to comment on broader social and political issues, critical acuity, vivid prose, against-the-grain opinions, and distinctly female (and feminist) perspective—to a new generation of readers. Featuring essays by the New Yorker's current popular music critic, Sasha Frere-Jones, and cultural critics Daphne Carr and Evie Nagy, this volume also provides a lively and still relevant account of rock music during, arguably, its most innovative period.

"I'd call Ellen Willis the Ida Lupino of music writing, but even that wouldn't say enough about this book's value. OUT OF THE VINYL DEEPS is a time capsule, the publication of which invigorates and illuminates our grasp of the period it covers—but it is also a timeless compendium of clear thinking and fresh, humane, and persuasive prose."—Jonathan Lethem

There were things back then that you looked forward to: Ellen's pieces in Rolling Stone, the New Yorker or the Village Voice was one of those things. She never disappointed.
