Woodstock was a rip-off. Creedence Clearwater Revival eclipsed the Rolling Stones. Bob Dylan struggled with identity. Janis Joplin “was not so much a victim as a casualty.” As the first pop critic for The New Yorker, Ellen Willis wrote deeply original commentary on the music that defined a generation. She wrote about landmark figures and events in prescient, unpredictable ways. She wasn’t so much cranky — others pioneered that rock-crit stereotype — as she was rhapsodic, a fan who could be vociferously vexed by self-indulgent albums and overpriced shows. So vexed, eventually, that in the 1980s she turned her formidable analytical and literary skills to matters of (to Willis at least) greater weight: feminism, global politics, freedom.

“Out of the Vinyl Deeps” performs two canon-changing acts for the literature of popular music criticism. One, by collecting for the first time Willis’s music reviews and essays, it once and for all proves her importance as a whip-smart (albeit often overlooked) force when that field of letters was emerging. Two, this selection of 59 articles, primarily from the late ’60s to mid-’70s, offers a fresh look at that era’s well-documented music. Yes, Willis’s perspective is, mostly, decades old. But as she was one of the few women writing about pop at that time, and for many years to follow, it’s also determinedly different.




Ellen Jane Willis (December 14, 1941 – November 9, 2006) was an American left-wing political essayist, journalist, activist, feminist, and pop music critic.
Willis was born in Manhattan to a Jewish family, and grew up in the boroughs of the Bronx and Queens in New York City. Her father was a police lieutenant in the New York City Police Department. Willis attended Barnard College as an undergraduate and did graduate study at University of California, Berkeley, where she studied comparative literature for a semester but left graduate school shortly afterwards.[citation needed]
In the late 1960s and 1970s, she was the first pop music critic for The New Yorker, and later wrote for, among others, the Village Voice, The Nation, Rolling Stone, Slate, and Salon, as well as Dissent, where she was also on the editorial board. She was the author of several books of collected essays.
At the time of her death, she was a professor in the journalism department of New York University and the head of its Center for Cultural Reporting and Criticism.
She lived in Queens with her husband Stanley Aronowitz and her daughter, Nona Willis-Aronowitz.
On November 9, 2006 she died of lung cancer.[ Her papers were deposited in the Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America, in the Radcliffe Institute at Harvard University in 2008.[
