"Music is a powerful connection we all share: to our culture, our personal lives, and history. This resource has a format that is accessible to literacy learners, and provides insight into out musical landscape. In particular, the story '13' (on the Depression) and story '5' (on Ernie Bunett) combine human interest with historical context. I highly recommend this book!" – April 2012 Exemplary Literacy Materials Online Reviews.
