"Music appreciation for the twenty-first century, when millions of songs are just a click away. What is music in the age of the cloud? Today, we can listen to nearly anything, at any time. It is possible to flit instantly across genres, from 1980s Detroit techno to 1890s Vienna Neo-romanticism. This new age of listening brings with it astonishing new possibilities--as well as dangers. In EVERY SONG EVER, the veteran New York Times music critic Ben Ratliff reimagines the very idea of music appreciation for our times. As familiar subdivisions like 'rock' and 'jazz' matter less and less and music's accessible past becomes longer and broader, listeners can put aside the intentions of composers and musicians and engage music afresh, on their own terms. Ratliff isolates signal musical traits--such as repetition, speed, and virtuosity--and traces them across wildly diverse recordings to reveal unexpected connections. When we listen for slowness, for instance, we may detect surprising affinities between the drone metal of Sunn O))), the mixtape manipulations of DJ Screw, Sarah Vaughan singing 'Lover Man,' and the final works of Shostakovich. And if we listen for closeness, we might notice how the tight harmonies of bluegrass vocals illuminate the virtuosic synchrony of John Coltrane's quartet. Encompassing the sounds of five continents and several centuries, Ratliff's book is an artful work of criticism and a lesson in open-mindedness. It is a definitive field guide to our radically altered musical habitat." [publisher copy] "What is remarkable about Ratliff is his musical intelligence and his almost singular breadth of knowledge and sympathy for all kinds of music. He also writes very well, a quality not at all common among those who write about music in general, a famously tricky subject. [Ratliff's] takes on various performances, recorded or live, are often unpredictable, never pedantic or exhibitionistic, and in every case informative."--August Kleinzahler, The New York Times Book Review. "This is a book about one exemplary listener's love for how many ways music can mean, set in sentences as forceful and subtle as Elvin Jones's drumming. Slayer and Shostakovich, Ali Akbar Khan and the Allman Brothers--none of them are the same once Ben Ratliff's ears get through with them. And your ears won't be the same once you get through EVERY SONG EVER."--Michael Robbins.
