Hole in Our Soul is a penetrating new look at popular music from the early days of jazz, blues, country, and gospel through the rise of rock 'n' roll and the excesses of the MTV era. Bayles defends the affirmative spirit of Afro-American music against the anti-social impulses of the European avante-garde, which she argues have led to the brutality and obscenity of many current musical genres.
