| | Music Encyclopedias from The Bomp Bookshelf (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | From the 50s through the early 70s, readers can refer to the entries for reference (Bill Haleys birthdate, for example), for entertainment (find out what the critics really thought of Elvis Presleys first recording), or for both. |
 | | A trans-Atlantic team including, among others, the two editors in Britain, both respected music historians, plus Bill Miller, Greil Marcus and myself, it tackles the job in three parts. |
 | | Mostly one to three paragraph entries, and a very good source for info on nearly forgotten performers like Bobby Lewis, Jerry Wallace, Bill Doggett, Ace Cannon, Kathy Young, etc, as well as all the big stars of course. |
