The two volumes follow the 2001 expansion of Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians and offer 583 approximately one-page profiles of bands and individual artists working in all popular musical genres—from electronica and hip hop to heavy metal, country, and world music. Entries for bands list members and cite where and when the band was formed, genre, and best-selling album since 1990. This is followed by the biography which includes some history and discography as well as a characterization of the band's sound (several of the contributors are music reviewers). Entries for individuals include the artists place and date of birth. About a quarter of the entries include a b&w photo. The appendix includes four essays on themes such as the rise and fall of grunge and the role of the Internet and the crisis of the music industry in the early 2000s.
