Love Goes To Buildings On Fire: Five Years In New York That Changed Music Forever by Will Hermes

4.0

Will Hermes’s Love Goes to Buildings on Fire surveys the music created in New York City from 1973 to 1977. Punk, salsa, disco, classical, hip hop, jazz, avant garde, rock—Hermes gets into all of it. While it isn’t an exhaustive history of any single genre, it is a fascinating portrait of a city fostering a creative boom as it literally falls apart.
