"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.\nEncompassing the sounds of five continents and several centuries, Ratliffs 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."
