"[A] spirited history of American popular music." -- The New Yorker
"[The B Side is] an entertaining and thoroughly researched exploration of America's songwriting history. With deftness of pen and skill, Yagoda has produced a work that will appeal to both musicologists and fans." -- Library Journal
