Afterword by Daphne Carr & Evie Nagy. 232pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. "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. As a writer for a magazine with a circulation of nearly half a million, Willis was also the country's most widely read rock critic. With a voice at once sharp, thoughtful, and ecstatic, she covered a wide range of artists--Bob Dylan, The Who, Van Morrison, Elvis Presley, David Bowie, the Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Joni Mitchell, the Velvet Underground, Sam and Dave, Bruce Springsteen, and Stevie Wonder--assessing their albums and performances not only on their originality, musicianship, and cultural impact but also in terms of how they made her feel. [] Because Willis stopped writing about music in the early 1980s--when, she felt, rock 'n' roll had lost its political edge--her significant contribution to the history and reception of rock music has been overshadowed by contemporary music critics like Robert Christgau, Lester Bangs, and Dave Marsh. OUT OF THE VINYL DEEPS collects for the first time Willis's Rock, Etc. columns and her other writings about popular music from this period (including liner notes for works by Lou Reed and Janis Joplin) and reasserts her rightful place in rock music 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." [publisher copy] "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. "OUT OF THE VINYL DEEPS should take its place alongside Marcus's Mystery Train and Bangs's Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung as one of the canonical documents of early pop music criticism. Even with her tendency to use big words and big ideas, Willis always knew at heart that music was a gas, gas, gas. She celebrated the seriousness of pleasure and relished the pleasure of thinking seriously. She followed in the footsteps of the New Yorker critics Dorothy Parker and Pauline Kael, and elbowed her way into the men's club of music criticism. Maybe she didn't even realize it was a men's club--Willis seemed fiercely independent that way. Ultimately, OUT OF THE VINYL DEEPS makes you want to do what the best music criticism should: pull out a record and listen to it with new ears."--The New York Times.
