While his focus is primarily on progressive country and rock, Shank also writes about traditional country, blues, rock, disco, ethnic, and folk musics. Using empirical detail and an expansive theoretical framework, he shows how Austin became the site for "a productive contestation between two forces: the fierce desire to remake oneself through musical practice, and the equally powerful struggle to affirm the value of that practice in the complexly structured late-capitalist marketplace."

Austin American-Statesman"
Notes (Quarterly Journal of the Music Library Association)"
The Rocket (Seattle, WA)"
Captures some of the essence and truths about the Austin scene, especially within the punk and new wave movement of the early Eighties . . . fascinating. Austin Chronicle"
Some of the most incisive commentary I ve yet to read on the music of Daniel Johnston, Ed Hall, Grains of Faith, and the interdependencies of artists and audience in Austin, Texas . . . A provocative addition to the short shelf of indispensible books about Austin music. Austin American-Statesman"
Any book that begins with a Reality Sandwich at Austin s famed Hole in the Wall nightclub displays much promise . . . A must-read book for those who with to understand popular music-making in Austin, and others who seek a case study in the complexity of music ethnography. Notes (Quarterly Journal of the Music Library Association)"
With two powerful chapters on identity and commodification in the music industry, Shank covers much Austin ground and other pertinent music-scene grounds in general. Interviews abound, and Shank s work on the institutionalization of alternative music in the major media conglomerations helps make Dissonant Identities a must. The Rocket (Seattle, WA)"
