When talking about the birth of Rock and Roll, it is useful to use a production of culture perspective such as the one Richard A Peterson offers in terms of him talking about the evolution of the music industry for example technological, music laws, and radio developments as with out these such things the birth of rock and roll possibly wouldn’t of occurred or had the impact it did on the music world. However this perspective does not give reasons why it was this genre of music that became popular it does not give any reasons for this, for example it does not explain or mention the fact the black artists at the time who made the original songs did not become as popular as the white artists who covered them, practically speaking this theory could be applied for any type of music of that time that was up and comming. This is why a production of culture perspective can be used but only to an extent.
This is reasonably good but could perhaps have gone a bit further on the lack of detail about why RnR, rather than some other genre emerged.
