In this episode of Booked On Rock, legendary rock journalist and author Sylvie Simmons joins me to discuss the updated and revised edition of her acclaimed biography, Neil Young: Reflections in Broken Glass. We trace Neil's remarkable journey from driving a hearse from Canada to Los Angeles to becoming one of the most influential artists in rock history.

We explore Buffalo Springfield, Crazy Horse, Harvest, the emotionally devastating Doom Trilogy, Rust Never Sleeps, Trans, Harvest Moon, his influence on Pearl Jam and the grunge movement, and the stories behind his most daring creative decisions. Sylvie also shares what she learned from interviewing Neil over four decades, including the brand-new Neil Young: Unfiltered interviews featured in this expanded edition.

If you're a lifelong Neil Young fan—or you're just discovering one of rock's most uncompromising artists—this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

In this episode of Booked On Rock, author Nic Brown (33 1/3: Violent Femmes) explores the remarkable story behind the Violent Femmes' groundbreaking 1983 debut album. Discover how three Milwaukee outsiders created a sound unlike anything before it, why Blister in the Sun was never intended for the band, how The Pretenders helped launch their career, and why the album became one of alternative rock's greatest slow-burn success stories.

We also discuss Gordon Gano's songwriting, the band's unconventional instrumentation, the mystery behind the lyrics, the recording sessions that captured lightning in a bottle, and how Blister in the Sun became a fixture at sporting events, in movies, and throughout popular culture.

In this episode of Booked On Rock, returning guest Greg Prato discusses his new book, Down Under: The Men at Work & Colin Hay Story, and explores the remarkable rise of one of the biggest bands of the MTV era—and the surprising reasons behind their rapid breakup.

We dive into the stories behind classics like "Down Under," "Who Can It Be Now?," "Overkill," and "Be Good Johnny," the band's early days in Melbourne, the creative partnership between Colin Hay and Greg Ham, the pressure of following 'Business as Usual', the Greg Ham copyright lawsuit, reunion possibilities, and why Men at Work's legacy continues to grow decades later.

If you've ever wondered how a band that dominated MTV and topped the charts could disappear so quickly, this is the story you've been waiting to hear.

In this episode of Booked On Rock, returning guest Greg Prato discusses his new book, Down Under: The Men at Work & Colin Hay Story, and explores the remarkable rise of one of the biggest bands of the MTV era—and the surprising reasons behind their rapid breakup.

We dive into the stories behind classics like "Down Under," "Who Can It Be Now?," "Overkill," and "Be Good Johnny," the band's early days in Melbourne, the creative partnership between Colin Hay and Greg Ham, the pressure of following 'Business as Usual', the Greg Ham copyright lawsuit, reunion possibilities, and why Men at Work's legacy continues to grow decades later.

If you've ever wondered how a band that dominated MTV and topped the charts could disappear so quickly, this is the story you've been waiting to hear.

Robert also shares insights from his book Last Stand: In Utero and the Final Days of Nirvana, offering a thoughtful look at the album's enduring legacy more than 30 years later.

With Luca Perasihttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-388-press-to-play-paul-mccartney-s-most-misunderstood-album-with-luca-perasi--72445219
In this episode of Booked On Rock, I sit down with author Luca Perasi to explore the fascinating story behind McCartney's 1986 album Press to Play. Drawing from extensive research and interviews with key figures involved in the project, Luca examines the album's ambitious blend of cutting-edge 1980s production, experimental songwriting, and classic McCartney melodies.

We discuss the album's troubled reputation, McCartney's creative partnership with Eric Stewart, the influence of producer Hugh Padgham, the impact of Live Aid and the Michael Jackson catalog controversy, and why Press to Play may deserve a major reappraisal. If you're a Paul McCartney fan—or simply curious about one of the most debated albums of his solo career—this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Sutton, author of Black Sabbath: The Dio Years (On Track Shorts), breaks down the albums, songs, musicianship, and legacy of the Dio era, including the chemistry between Dio and Tony Iommi, the band’s evolution after Ozzy, and why these records continue to resonate with metal fans decades later. If you love classic metal, deep album analysis, and the story behind one of heavy music’s greatest partnerships, this episode is for you.

This episode features a return appearance from Stephen Lambe, author of Focus 1969 to 1985: Every Album Every Song (On Track). We discuss the evolution of Focus from their early years through their classic prog era, the musicianship of Jan Akkerman and Thijs van Leer, the stories behind the albums, and why the band deserves far more recognition than simply being known for “Hocus Pocus.”

If you love progressive rock, deep musical analysis, and discovering the stories behind legendary albums, this episode is for you.

This episode features a return appearance from Stephen Lambe, author of Focus 1969 to 1985: Every Album Every Song (On Track). We discuss the evolution of Focus from their early years through their classic prog era, the musicianship of Jan Akkerman and Thijs van Leer, the stories behind the albums, and why the band deserves far more recognition than simply being known for “Hocus Pocus.”

If you love progressive rock, deep musical analysis, and discovering the stories behind legendary albums, this episode is for you.

When Dick Rowe passed on The Beatles after their now-legendary Decca audition in 1962, it became one of the most debated decisions in music history. But is it fair to criticize him for it? 

In this episode highlight, featuring insights from Stuart Maconie, author of With a Little Help from Their Friends: The Beatles and the People Who Made Them, we take a closer look at the context behind that decision—what Rowe actually heard, the state of the music industry at the time, and whether history has judged him too harshly. Was this truly the biggest mistake in rock… or a reasonable call given the moment?

In this highlight from my full interview with Barry Greenfield—author of All You Need Is Courage—he shares a true story from 1968 that says everything about the presence of Ringo Starr. Barry was in the studio with Harry Nilsson when suddenly… everything changed.

But that’s where reality meets imagination.

Barry really did audition for Apple Records in 1968—and turned down the chance to be a performer because he wanted to be a songwriter. His book explores the ultimate “what if”: what would have happened if he said yes?

This clip captures the moment that inspired it all—when the energy in the room shifted, and nothing else mattered.

In this episode, we dive into the definitive story of The Clean—formed in Dunedin, New Zealand in 1978 by the Kilgour brothers and their friends—and how their raw, lo-fi approach sparked an entire movement. From the underground success of “Tally Ho!” to their role in building the Flying Nun scene, The Clean’s impact can still be heard in bands like Pavement and Yo La Tengo.

Featuring an in-depth interview with Richard Langston, author of The Clean: In the Dreamlife You Need a Rubber Soul, we explore the band’s story in their own words—through the voices of the musicians, collaborators, and friends who lived it. From early days in Dunedin to international tours and beyond, this is the inside story of a band that changed indie music forever.

Author Barry Greenfield joins the show to discuss his novel All You Need Is Courage, the story of Adam Bond, a young Canadian songwriter chasing his dreams in the heart of London’s booming music scene. From the halls of Apple Records to working alongside legends like George Harrison, John Paul Jones, and Nicky Hopkins, Adam’s journey captures the excitement—and the uncertainty—of a life in music during one of its most revolutionary eras.

We dive into the inspiration behind the book, the cultural backdrop of late-’60s London, and what it really takes to pursue a dream when the stakes are high and the path is anything but certain. It’s a story about ambition, vulnerability, and the courage to keep moving forward—no matter what.

In this episode of Booked On Rock, I explore the powerful and often overlooked relationship between Bob Dylan and The Beatles—a connection that didn’t just influence their music, but helped reshape the direction of rock itself. From Dylan initially dismissing the Beatles as “teenyboppers” to recognizing their deeper artistic potential, to the Beatles immersing themselves in Dylan’s songwriting and evolving their lyrics, this is the story of mutual inspiration, competition, and transformation.

You’ll hear how Dylan’s push toward electrification and the Beatles’ shift into more introspective, boundary-pushing songwriting were deeply intertwined—and how even years later, the Beatles were still jamming on Dylan songs during the Get Back sessions.

This episode features an interview with Jim Windolf, author of Where the Music Had to Go: How Bob Dylan and the Beatles Changed Each Other—and the World, offering insight into the moments, myths, and musical breakthroughs that defined an era.

If you’ve ever wondered how legends influence each other behind the scenes… this is a story you don’t want to miss.

At the center is Michael Griffin—a gifted musician navigating the highs and lows of the Southern California music scene from the 1960s through the ’80s. From gritty gigs backing dancers in San Francisco to the brink of a major-label deal, his journey captures the thrill of possibility—and the toll it can take. Along the way is Grace, the love of his life, whose connection with Michael begins in a San Fernando Valley music shop and becomes the emotional core of his story.

But ambition, betrayal, and the chaos of the era pull them apart, sending both down separate and often painful paths. What follows is a sweeping story of separation, success, failure, and illness—and ultimately, redemption.

In my conversation with Debora, we go deeper into the inspiration behind the story, the real-life influences, and the emotional truth at the heart of Freedom Quest.

This is more than a rock story. It’s a reminder that even when everything falls apart, music has the power to heal—and true love has a way of finding its way back.

In this episode of Booked On Rock, we go beyond the spotlight to explore the people behind The Beatles—the family, friends, mentors, and key figures who helped shape the most influential band in music history.

My guest is Stuart Maconie, author of With a Little Help from Their Friends: The Beatles and the People Who Made Them, who talks about the inner circle that surrounded John, Paul, George, and Ringo. From early Liverpool influences to the personalities who guided their rise, this episode reveals the human story behind the legend.

If you’ve ever wondered what forces helped mold The Beatles before they became global icons, this is the story behind the band you thought you knew.

In this highlight, Anthony Gomez III, author of Mazzy Star’s So Tonight That I Might See (33 1/3), breaks down the story behind Mazzy Star’s iconic song “Fade Into You.”

Written in a single afternoon and initially not seen as anything extraordinary, the track would go on to define the band’s legacy and captivate listeners for decades. Gomez shares insight into the song’s creation, the atmosphere surrounding the recording sessions, and why its understated beauty made such a lasting impact.

From afterthought to classic, this is the story behind one of alternative rock’s most unforgettable songs.

When Matt Sorum replaced Steven Adler, many fans criticized his drumming style on Use Your Illusion I & II—arguing he lacked Adler’s swing and looseness. But in this highlight, Geoff Harkness, author of Estranged: Guns N’ Roses & Use Your Illusion, explains why Sorum may have been exactly what Guns N’ Roses needed during one of the most ambitious and chaotic periods in the band’s history.

Did Matt Sorum help save Guns N’ Roses during the Use Your Illusion era? And do fans owe him an apology?

A rare 1985 guitar solo has surfaced—and it reveals a side of Corgan that few fans have ever heard. Before the rise of The Smashing Pumpkins, he was playing with a fast, technical, almost neoclassical style—reminiscent of shred guitarists like Yngwie Malmsteen.

This audio highlight featuring Greg Prato, author of I Am One: The Smashing Pumpkins Story, 1988–1994, explores that surprising moment in Corgan’s early development—and what it tells us about the evolution of his sound.

These performances would go on to become some of the most iconic live recordings in rock history—but behind the scenes, tensions were building. Over the years, stories have circulated about a falling out between the band and Graham. But how much of that story is actually true?

In this highlight from Booked On Rock, Nettie Baker—daughter of Ginger Baker—offers a rare, personal perspective on the events surrounding those shows. She addresses the long-standing rumors, sheds light on her father’s experience, and helps separate myth from reality.

This is a deeper look at Cream at their peak—and the conflict that has been debated ever since.

In this episode highlight of Booked On Rock, the story is told through a deeply personal lens by Nettie Baker, daughter of Ginger Baker. Through her insight, we go beyond the usual narrative to uncover what was really happening inside Cream at the height of their fame.

Was it simply ego and infighting… or is there more to the story that rarely gets discussed?

Nettie shares a perspective rarely heard—what drove the band apart, whether Cream could have continued, and how the end came faster than anyone expected. She also sheds light on Ginger Baker beyond the headlines, challenging long-held perceptions and revealing the human side of one of rock’s most complex figures.

This is the side of Cream’s story that doesn’t always make the headlines.

In this episode of Booked On Rock, we dive into the making of these sprawling records—where creative ambition collided with egos, excess, and a band on the brink. From orchestral ballads like “November Rain” to the raw intensity of “You Could Be Mine,” the Illusion era pushed the limits of what a rock band could achieve… and survive.

In this episode of Booked On Rock, we dive into the shadowy mythology behind the music with a look inside Rock ’N’ Roll Ghosts, a chilling collection of occult-tinged tales that reimagine the origins of rock’s biggest legends. These aren’t traditional biographies—they’re dark, supernatural stories where fame comes at a cost… and something always collects.

From eerie encounters and cursed chords to deals that blur the line between ambition and the unknown, these stories ask a haunting question: what did it really take to become a rock ’n’ roll legend?

This episode features an interview with Mark Slade, author of Rock ’N’ Roll Ghosts, as we explore the inspiration behind the book, the twisted legends within it, and why the mythology of rock music may be darker than we ever imagined.

Including: 
  • Elvis encounters a demon dog from hell
  • Little Richard finds himself in a church full of ghosts
  • Buddy Holly survives the plane crash (and pays for it)
  • Fats Domino gambles his soul to lift a curse
  • Jerry Lee Lewis falls in love with an alien
  • Chuck Berry plays a mysterious chord with dire consequences

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” by Crowander / “Last Train North” & “No Mercy” by TrackTribe]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/70965617Sun, 29 Mar 2026 13:48:21 +0000Eric SenichRock ’n’ roll didn’t just change the world—it may have awakened something.

In this episode of Booked On Rock, we dive into the shadowy mythology behind the music with a look inside Rock ’N’ Roll Ghosts, a chilling collection of occult-tinged tales that reimagine the origins of rock’s biggest legends. These aren’t traditional biographies—they’re dark, supernatural stories where fame comes at a cost… and something always collects.

From eerie encounters and cursed chords to deals that blur the line between ambition and the unknown, these stories ask a haunting question: what did it really take to become a rock ’n’ roll legend?

This episode features an interview with Mark Slade, author of Rock ’N’ Roll Ghosts, as we explore the inspiration behind the book, the twisted legends within it, and why the mythology of rock music may be darker than we ever imagined.

Including: 
  • Elvis encounters a demon dog from hell
  • Little Richard finds himself in a church full of ghosts
  • Buddy Holly survives the plane crash (and pays for it)
  • Fats Domino gambles his soul to lift a curse
  • Jerry Lee Lewis falls in love with an alien
  • Chuck Berry plays a mysterious chord with dire consequences

In this episode of Booked On Rock, I’m joined by author Greg Prato to dive into I Am One: The Smashing Pumpkins Story, 1988–1994—a deep look at the band’s formative years, creative breakthroughs, and the relentless drive of Billy Corgan.

We explore the making of Gish, the explosion of Siamese Dream, and how The Smashing Pumpkins carved out their place in the alt-rock boom alongside grunge giants—while doing things entirely their own way.

From internal tensions to studio perfectionism, this is the story of how a band pushed boundaries and built a legacy that still resonates today.

In the middle of it all, a young poet in the downtown scene is found dead in his East Village apartment—ruled an accidental overdose. Case closed… or so it seems.

But when suspicions of murder begin to surface, an unlikely investigator emerges from the heart of the CBGB scene. What follows is a deep dive into a shadowy world where punk rock, art, fashion, and crime collide—pulling in some of the most iconic names of the era, from Lou Reed and Patti Smith to William S. Burroughs and Andy Warhol’s inner circle.

At the center of it all: a chilling conspiracy that could explode on the opening night of a brand-new CBGB venue.

This episode explores The CBGB Conspiracy, a gripping story that blends real history with fiction—set against one of the most volatile and creatively explosive moments in New York City history.

Featuring an interview with Gabriel Rotello, author of The CBGB Conspiracy, who takes us inside the story, the research, and the real-life figures that shaped this unforgettable world.

Listen now and step into the chaos of 1977—where the music was loud, the city was crumbling, and nothing was as it seemed.

From 1976 to 1986, album-oriented rock dominated FM radio, filling arenas and airwaves with massive hooks, soaring power ballads, and legendary bands. But behind the music was a wild world of record label power, payola scandals, larger-than-life personalities, and an industry fueled by excess.

In this episode of Booked On Rock, Eric Senich sits down with Paul Rees, author of Raised on Radio: Power Ballads, Cocaine & Payola – the AOR Glory Years 1976–1986. Together, they explore the rise of AOR and the stories behind the music that defined a generation.

Paul shares incredible insights into the artists, the radio programmers, and the record executives who helped shape the sound of FM rock during its peak. From arena-filling anthems to the behind-the-scenes chaos that fueled the industry, this conversation dives deep into the decade when melodic rock ruled the airwaves. If you love the sound of classic FM radio, this is the era that changed rock forever.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” by Crowander / “Last Train North” & “No Mercy” by TrackTribe]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/70558168Tue, 10 Mar 2026 19:08:43 +0000Eric SenichAOR’s golden age is one of the most electrifying eras in rock history.

From 1976 to 1986, album-oriented rock dominated FM radio, filling arenas and airwaves with massive hooks, soaring power ballads, and legendary bands. But behind the music was a wild world of record label power, payola scandals, larger-than-life personalities, and an industry fueled by excess.

In this episode of Booked On Rock, Eric Senich sits down with Paul Rees, author of Raised on Radio: Power Ballads, Cocaine & Payola – the AOR Glory Years 1976–1986. Together, they explore the rise of AOR and the stories behind the music that defined a generation.

Paul shares incredible insights into the artists, the radio programmers, and the record executives who helped shape the sound of FM rock during its peak. From arena-filling anthems to the behind-the-scenes chaos that fueled the industry, this conversation dives deep into the decade when melodic rock ruled the airwaves. If you love the sound of classic FM radio, this is the era that changed rock forever.

In this episode, I’m joined by D.X. Ferris, author of The Story of Donnie Iris and The Cruisers, for a deep dive into the career of Donnie Iris — from his early days with The Jaggerz and Wild Cherry to his breakout success with The Cruisers and the timeless power-pop anthem “Ah! Leah!”

We explore how Iris crafted one of the most recognizable hooks in rock radio history, why his music still resonates decades later, and the perseverance that built a lasting career far beyond a single hit. Ferris shares insights from his book, behind-the-scenes stories, and perspective on what makes Donnie Iris such a uniquely enduring artist.

If you think you know Donnie Iris, think again.

In this episode highlight, acclaimed rock historian Martin Popoff, author of Kiss ’76: Twelve Months That Defined the Hottest Band in the Land, breaks down the importance of KISS’s iconic Destroyer album cover and why it became such a pivotal moment in the band’s rise.

More than just artwork, the legendary painting helped cement KISS as larger-than-life superheroes and elevated their image to match the ambition of the music. We explore how the visual identity of Destroyer amplified the mythology, marketing power, and cultural impact of the band during their breakthrough year.

After years of grinding it out on the road, the band suddenly exploded into a full-blown phenomenon — sold-out arenas, the rise of the KISS Army, merchandising everywhere, and a level of fan hysteria rock had rarely seen. This wasn’t just success… it was a takeover. The question is: why did it all happen in that one year?

In this episode, we break down the perfect storm — 'Destroyer', 'Rock & Roll Over', non-stop touring, the mythology, the image, and the moment when KISS truly became The Hottest Band in the Land.

Featuring an interview with Martin Popoff, author of Kiss '76: Twelve Months That Defined the Hottest Band in the Land, who walks us through the chaos, strategy, and timing that turned a cult band into a cultural phenomenon overnight.

If you want to understand when KISS stopped being a band… and became an institution — this is the year.

In this episode, original bassist Kelly Garni tells his firsthand account of how Quiet Riot actually formed in early-70s Los Angeles. But the story longtime frontman Kevin DuBrow shared publicly over the years paints a very different picture. So which version is true?

We dig into the conflicting origin stories, the friendships, the ambitions, and the mythology that formed one of the most important bands of the Sunset Strip era. Memory, ego, media narratives — and the passage of time — all collide as we try to separate rock history from rock legend.

If you think you know how Quiet Riot started… you might not.

With new exhibitions and Beatles films putting her back into the cultural spotlight, we take a deeper look at the artist behind the headlines. Often reduced to myth and controversy, Yoko Ono has spent decades shaping avant-garde art, experimental music, and the language of performance itself.

This episode features an interview with Madeline Bocaro, author of In Your Mind: The Infinite Universe Of Yoko Ono. A new expanded e-book has just been released. We explore Yoko’s life, influence, and groundbreaking sound — from conceptual art and boundary-pushing recordings to the cultural impact she continues to have today. Plus, a preview of Bocaro's upcoming new book examining how Yoko's fearless approach to sound helped redefine what music could be.

Whether you think you know her story or not, this conversation might change how you hear Yoko Ono forever.

In this episode highlight clip, Denny Somach, author of Get the Led Out: How Led Zeppelin Became the Biggest Band in the World, shares the incredible story of the jam session where Geezer Butler played with Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and Tony Iommi — a moment fans would consider impossible… except it happened. The musicians even jokingly dubbed it “Black Zeppelin.”

Here’s the twist: the session was recorded, but Geezer doesn’t have the tape. Somebody does. And after all these years, it could still surface.

Was it heavy? Was it bluesy? And could rock’s ultimate lost collaboration someday leak out? This is the story of one of the most fascinating missing recordings in rock history — the album that exists, but nobody can hear.

But here’s the twist: Hopkins once had the opportunity to become a member of Led Zeppelin — and turned it down. 

In this clip, Denny Somach, author of Get the Led Out: How Led Zeppelin Became the Biggest Band in the World, shares the fascinating story behind that decision and what it could have meant for rock history.

The Beatles' story has been told many times, but often with little focus on their personal experiences during their era. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and producer George Martin were influenced by the sounds around them. Ribbons of Rust presents their journey by immersing readers in the music and times they lived in. The first volume, richly illustrated with period artifacts, takes you with The Beatles from their early inspirations to their initial compositions and covers. Rodriguez and Hammack explore how The Beatles developed their sound in Liverpool and Hamburg, drawing on American rock 'n' roll and deeper cultural traditions, ultimately securing a recording contract with EMI. Spanning July 1954 to January 1963, the book details the post-war British music scene and the influences that shaped The Beatles, bringing readers into the studio with them, from early Liverpool recordings to Hamburg sessions.

This was an era like no other for McCartney, perhaps even the most significant decade of his entire career after the 1960s.

Following a shakier 1980s, the decade would see him reemerge with greater energy, momentum, and self-belief. JR Moores’s sympathetic but not uncritical new book explores McCartney’s ’90s, with its impressive studio and live albums, colossal tours, unexpected side-projects, imaginative collaborations, forays into classical composition, some new Beatles numbers, and a whole lot more besides. Moores reveals how McCartney’s reputation began to be perceived more generously by the public, and he argues that his output and activities in the ’90s would uncover more about the person behind them than in any other decade.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” by Crowander / “Last Train North” & “No Mercy” by TrackTribe]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/64916358Tue, 18 Mar 2025 20:49:56 +0000Eric SenichWe’re talking Paul McCartney in this episode. Specifically his music during the decade of the 90s. Author JR Moores has a new book out now titled Off The Ground: Paul McCartney in the 1990s. This was an era like no other for McCartney, perhaps even...Off The Ground: Paul McCartney in the 1990s. This was an era like no other for McCartney, perhaps even the most significant decade of his entire career after the 1960s.

Following a shakier 1980s, the decade would see him reemerge with greater energy, momentum, and self-belief. JR Moores’s sympathetic but not uncritical new book explores McCartney’s ’90s, with its impressive studio and live albums, colossal tours, unexpected side-projects, imaginative collaborations, forays into classical composition, some new Beatles numbers, and a whole lot more besides. Moores reveals how McCartney’s reputation began to be perceived more generously by the public, and he argues that his output and activities in the ’90s would uncover more about the person behind them than in any other decade.

The followup to his memoir Lay It On The Line, Ten Telecaster Tales remakes the idea of the “concept album.” It is music that arrives inside a book. It’s also, arguably, the most comprehensive attempt at liner notes in the history of electric instrumental fingerstyle guitar albums.  Emmett delves into the creative process — the roots, influences, philosophy, and spirituality involved in writing and recording and breaks down the ten tracks included on his brand new album titled Ten Telecaster Tales.

It's part of Sonicbond Publishing’s On Track series.

In a career full of twists and turns, none was as sharp as the one David Bowie experienced after his 1983 album Let's Dance. The record gave Bowie the hit that he wanted but completely altered his artistic standing in the process. Instead of an innovator who pushed rock music forward, the singer found himself a global superstar with a mass audience whose tastes he didn't understand and who reciprocated this feeling as the 1980s unfolded.

After immersing himself in the band project Tin Machine, Bowie spent the 1990s embracing reinvention and experimentation with mixed but often fascinating results, leading to a full-fledged renaissance early in the 21st century. From there, his story only got stranger; 2013's The Next Day was a triumphant comeback after years of self-imposed silence. Meanwhile, 2016's Blackstar stood among his most challenging albums and became the final release of his lifetime. One constant is that the records David Bowie released during this time were ultimately the result of his artistic vision, wherever it took him. This book considers all those releases on their own merits, away from the shadow of his 1970s landmarks. Even if Bowie himself didn't always appreciate the results, every album featured songs worthy of his reputation.

Kaye is a writer and producer, and this book is her long-awaited memoir. In it, we read about Kaye's music-related early life wrapped around that day in December 1980 which Kaye spent with John Lennon and Yoko Ono at the legendary Dakota apartment building on Manhattan's Upper West Side. On December 8, 1980, while working for RKO Radio, Kaye, a then twenty-something rock journalist, co-conducted an interview with her longtime idol, John Lennon. It was to become Lennon's final interview on what tragically turned out to be his last day on the planet. That evening, John Lennon was gunned down by a man Kaye had encountered just hours before.

The son of blues legend John Lee Hooker—best known for hit songs like “Boogie Chillun,” “I’m in the Mood,” and “Boom Boom”—John Lee Hooker Jr. was born in Detroit and exposed to the music world from an early age, singing as a featured attraction in his father’s shows as a teenager. In 1972, he and his father performed live and recorded an album in Soledad Prison. Junior seemed to have a golden ticket to a successful music career, but trouble brewed. His father’s marriage was in trouble, and the family was ripped apart.

Drug addiction and a series of related crimes, including as a con player, landed Junior in and out of jails and prisons—including the infamous San Quentin—for three decades. Shot, stabbed, and convicted multiple times, Junior was at his lowest point doing time at a Santa Rita jail. Still, he emerged clean and sober and began a successful career as a blues singer, earning two Grammy nominations and even opening for the Rolling Stones. 

The life of a blues musician had its rewards but also its perils, and in 2019 Junior decided to devote himself fully to his faith. Today, Reverend John Lee Hooker Jr. testifies, preaches, and performs gospel music in churches and prisons across the U.S. and Germany. This is an amazing, inspiring story.

This is a brand new edition of the book originally released in 2012. It’s the story of the pioneering Irish musician, from his early days on his beloved Dublin music scene through the adventurous days of Thin Lizzy, the band he led for thirteen years. Once mainstream success came his way with Thin Lizzy's powerhouse Jailbreak album in 1976, his musical thirst only heightened, and this book also offers an intimate insight into his musical experimentation beyond the Thin Lizzy framework. From the slow burn of his rise with Thin Lizzy to the unfortunate and unnecessary outcome of his short life, Renegade offers a vantage point from the people who were by his side through it all.

In the spring of 1980, a unique group of musical eccentrics performed for the first time at a college party in Athens, Georgia. Within a few years, R.E.M. achieved global success with records like Document, Green, Out of Time, Automatic for the People, and Monster. The band's raw and expressive style set them apart and made them voices of their generation during the transition from the 80s to the anxious early 90s, as they challenged corporate and social norms. In this episode, we delve into the lives of the four college friends—Michael Stipe, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, and Bill Berry—who remained united through it all.

Late in the last century, deep in the Pacific Northwest amongst the economic and psychological hardships of one town, America's last great band was born - Nirvana. The band's leader, a young introvert with superior songwriting talents, slowly molded a style inspired by punk, metal, sludge, and pop. The results changed the band and the music industry forever.

This is the follow-up to the first volume covering 1969 to 1973. The second volume continues to paint the portrait of one of the world’s greatest musicians, his work post-Beatles, and his life from 1974 to 1980. 

By 1974 the Beatles were a distant memory, and Paul McCartney had already gone on to release a solo album and form a new band, Wings. By the decade's end, Wings would be the bestselling band of the 1970s. The McCartney Legacy, Vol. 2 begins in 1974 at the height of Wings' popularity and the beginning of McCartney’s next chapter. In this interview, Allan talks about the competitive relationship between Paul and John Lennon during this period, the Paul and John reunion project that wasn’t meant to be, the friction between Paul and Yoko, Paul’s near-death experience, his troubles with the law, his war with the music press, and much more.

[Episode 241]https://www.spreaker.com/episode/why-don-t-we-care-about-new-music-anymore-episode-241--62992746The Endless Refrain: Memory, Nostalgia, and the Threat to New Music. The veteran music journalist argues that the rise of music streaming and the consolidation of digital platforms is decimating the musical landscape, with dire consequences for the future of our culture. In The Endless Refrain, Rowell lays out how commercial and cultural forces have laid waste to the cultural ecosystems that have produced decades of great American music.

From the scorched-earth demonetizing of artist revenue accomplished by Spotify and its ilk to the rise of dead artists “touring” via hologram, Rowell examines how a perfect storm of conditions have drained our shared musical landscape of vitality. Combining personal memoir, intimate on-the-ground reporting, industry research, and cultural criticism, Rowell’s book is a powerful indictment of a music culture gone awry, driven by conformity and subverted by the ways the internet and media influence what we listen to and how we listen to it.

For nearly 25 years David was an editor at The Washington Post Magazine and has taught literary journalism in the MFA department at American University. He is currently a senior editor at the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. His previous books include the novel The Train of Small Mercies, and Wherever the Sound Takes You: Heroics and Heartbreak in Music Making.

[Episode 237]https://www.spreaker.com/episode/can-a-musician-survive-in-the-21st-century-episode-237--62713780Naked City. On the edge of the city, three bohemians struggle to answer the question:  “Is it possible to survive as an artist in the 21st-century?” A young singer with no family hitchhikes to the city and sings her heart out. Late one night she encounters a street dancer who inspires her to have faith in her music no matter the cost. Desperate for rent money, she poses for a painter who has shifted from landscapes to nudes, and both of them learn a thing or two about the purpose of art and the meaning of success.

Eric Drooker’s drawings and posters are a familiar sight in the global street art movement, and his paintings appear frequently on covers of The New Yorker. His editorial illustrations have been seen in Nation, the New York Times, the Progressive, and more.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” by Crowander / “Last Train North” & “No Mercy” by TrackTribe]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/62713780Sat, 16 Nov 2024 00:42:03 +0000Eric SenichThis episode’s guest is Eric Drooker, the author of the new graphic novel titled Naked City.

On the edge of the city, three bohemians struggle to answer the question:  “Is it possible to survive as an artist in the 21st-century?” A young singer with no family hitchhikes to the city and sings her heart out. Late one night she encounters a street dancer who inspires her to have faith in her music no matter the cost. Desperate for rent money, she poses for a painter who has shifted from landscapes to nudes, and both of them learn a thing or two about the purpose of art and the meaning of success.

Eric Drooker’s drawings and posters are a familiar sight in the global street art movement, and his paintings appear frequently on covers of The New Yorker. His editorial illustrations have been seen in Nation, the New York Times, the Progressive, and more. His first book, Flood!: A Novel in Pictures, won the American Book Award, followed by Blood Song (soon to be a major motion picture). His graphic novels have been translated into seven languages. After designing the animation for the film Howl, Drooker was hired by DreamWorks Animation.

She’s saving to get overseas to London, where the excitement of the post-punk era is coming to a head. To save for the trip, artsy Jessica and her avant-garde roommates take jobs in a progressive restaurant town on the Delaware River, where they deal with waitressing chaos, mystics, punk clubs, drag queens, mosh pits, and other assorted tribulations in an effort for Jess to find out what “real life” beyond the college classroom is like. Then she meets a daredevil new wave guitarist who spins her head like a record, potentially distracting her from her goals. In addition to an awesome backing soundtrack, the book leverages feminist themes, since the women of the ‘80s were the first generation to be told they could “have it all”—love, education, friendships, meaning, sex, careers, happiness, you name it.  Except maybe the world wasn’t completely ready for those women to have it all. Which was a tough wall to push down. And this still resonates today.

Suzanne is on the show to talk about the book, what inspired storyline, the characters in the book, her experiences being a women of the ‘80s and more.

I wanted to have him back on to talk about the first volume, which covers all the Dead shows during October. David made some time to come back on and I’m so glad he did. Very few bands deserve an in-depth look at a band’s live show, the Grateful Dead is at the top of that list. 

Infinite Dead is a new, groundbreaking guide to Grateful Dead concerts. Authoritative and entertaining, Volume 1 features detailed reviews of every Grateful Dead concert performed in the month of October—over 200 shows, including:
  • The three-set, acoustic-electric performances at The Warfield in San Francisco and Radio City Music Hall in New York City;
  • Their five-night “final” stand at the Winterland Ballroom in 1974; and
  • Thirteen Halloween performances, from their first in 1966 to their last in 1991.
Also included in this volume is the band’s revival of “Dark Star” (10/9/89 Hampton Coliseum), “St. Stephen” (10/11/83 Madison Square Garden), and “Turn On Your Love Light” (10/16/81 Melkweg). What better month to talk about The Dead than the month of October!

David Cain has been listening to the music of the Grateful Dead for over forty years, including seeing live performances of the band in twenty-five cities in thirteen states during the course of three decades. David’s writing on music, sports, and other subjects has appeared in publications ranging from Addicted To Noise to USA Today’s Baseball Weekly. David lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Days and Days weaves together two stories. One is a tale of friendship and self-discovery that occurs during a backpacking adventure through England, Scotland, and Ireland. The other celebrates the highly influential yet underestimated UK band Leatherface, a group that The Guardian called “the greatest British punk band of the modern era.”

Without so much as a single hostel booked, Chris and his friend Jason cross the Atlantic. They sleep in train stations, endure a haunting on top of a volcano in Edinburgh, are driven out of Belfast by the IRA, and witness the mother of all storms. They also find themselves in the rehearsal space of their teenage punk idols, a building steeped in cultural significance for the Sunderland music scene.

If you love classic rock trivia and love finding out the stories behind your favorite classic rock songs and bands, you probably know about the website Songfacts.com. Songfacts is a music-oriented website that gives you the stories behind songs and lyrics, how and when they were recorded, and so much more. You can search by category like songs about cars, songs inspired by movies, songs inspired by the works of Shakespeare. The list goes on and on. It also has a featured quiz, today’s top 10 facts, artists, lyrics, and categories, and a This Day In Music calendar.

Songfacts also features exclusive articles and interviews. The journalists who work for the site have interviewed thousands of artists and songwriters to get the facts behind the songs, including Greg Prato who has been on the Booked On Rock podcast many times. The site was launched in 1999 by Wiser, a Connecticut rock DJ who created the list as a database to prepare for his radio show before making it a website for all of us classic rock fanatics to visit. It’s one of my original favorite music info sites and I’m not alone. In 2002 it was chosen as a "Yahoo! Pick". The August 2004 issue of Men's Journal listed Songfacts as one of the "100 Best Websites for Guys". USA Weekend has praised it as "a virtual Behind the Music". I reached out to Carl to tell us more about the website, some of his favorite stories he’s found for the site, his favorite books on rock, and ones he would love to be written but haven’t yet. So let’s get down to the facts and talk Songfacts with Carl Wiser!

Here’s the description of the book:

How far would you go to protect someone you love who cannot see the life or death danger they are facing? Elvis Presley is beloved worldwide, but none are as devoted as Liz Phillips. He communicates with her through his music and movies, and she knows in her soul that he is pleading with her to help right the wrongs those surrounding him commit. She must protect and save him from harm.

The swinging ’60s have turned into the sinister ’70s for Liz as an overzealous fanatic realizes the danger her idol Elvis Presley faces from those around him. Liz and her new boyfriend, Trey, feel duty-bound to come to his aid and take matters into their own hands to right the wrongs he’s suffered.

There is only one plausible solution for the two of them to rescue him from the hypnotic trap in which she feels he is ensnared. She and Trey take on the role of the white knight to free the King from evil for the good of all worldwide. However, as she quickly discovers, the suffering involves more than Presley as confusion reigns.

All that glitters is not gold, and things are not always as they seem. There are always consequences. I discussed with Janet the book’s plot, how she came up with the story idea, and how she went about creating the story.

The book follows ten disparate musicians from humble beginnings at a dive bar residency in Los Angeles through lineup changes, addiction, marriages, divorces, and industry letdowns. 

The Continental Drifters, composed of members of The Bangles, The Cowsills, The Dream Syndicate, The dB's, and more, found each because they'd been burned by the music industry and sought refuge in a freewheeling environment where they could experiment without constraint. When everything fell apart in New Orleans a decade later, they ended up with so much more.

The Gits, led by their charismatic frontwoman Mia Zapata, formed in Ohio before joining the burgeoning Seattle music scene of the early 90s. They were on the brink of international stardom when, on July 7, 1993, just days before their third US tour, Mia was brutally murdered. Her death came as a shock to the Seattle music scene and eventually became a national story. It would be a decade before her killer was arrested. During that time, the focus of Mia’s story shifted further and further away from her talents and the music she created with The Gits. In this book, Steve Moriarty is determined to shift the focus from Mia's tragic end back to the art she and The Gits created, recounting their journey from their first meeting at Antioch College in 1985 to their rise in the Seattle music scene. Steve narrates the band’s struggles, their inspirations, and the camaraderie that fueled their music, as well as the band's tours and performances alongside iconic acts like Nirvana, Mudhoney, and Joan Jett.

Michael is best known as a writer, but for over 50 years he’s also been photographing musicians and the photos in Jukebox are drawn from the thousands he’s taken over the years. Included are photos of the Sex Pistols, Devo, the Clash, Bruce Springsteen, Jim Morrison, Lou Reed, Janis Joplin, Muddy Waters, Patti Smith, the Who, Neil Young, Jerry Garcia, Bob Dylan, Frank Zappa, Grace Slick and Paul Kantner, Tom Waits, The Ramones, and many many more.

Most of the photos in this book have never been seen before, including rare 1970 photos of Jerry Garcia in his Larkspur home months before recording began for the group’s classic album, American Beauty. Some of the photographs were taken at the homes of the artists or in their hotel rooms. The Ramones photograph was shot from the doorway of Goldberg’s room at the Tropicana in L.A. Michael is here to share some stories behind the photos in the book.

Music publishing is one of the most complex parts of the music business, and yet it can be the most lucrative area of income for musicians. Wixen presents a clear, concise approach on how music publishing works today. The book includes a foreword by Tom Petty, among the many who put their trust in Wixen with their music catalog. Wixen is one of the most respected names in the music industry. He’s the founder of Wixen Music Publishing, Inc. in Los Angeles. With a sister company, Wixen Music UK Ltd. in London, the companies administer the song catalogs of many top artists from the last 50 years, ranging from George Harrison, the Doors, Neil Young and Tom Petty, to the Black Keys, Andrew Bird and Fitz & The Tantrums.

Randall gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the music publishing business in this interview plus his thoughts on the recent legal battle between Daryl Hall and John Oates, the famous 1984 lawsuit where John Fogerty was being sued for stealing a song he wrote himself, the Vanilla Ice vs Queen legal battle over his use of the song "Under Pressure", and more. This is a fascinating look at the side of the music business few know.

They started out as a mod fourpiece with Steve Marriott on lead vocals. With hit singles including “Itchycoo Park”, “Lazy Sunday”, “All Or Nothing”, and “Tin Soldier”, they evolved into one of the UK’s most successful bands by the end of the 60s. After Marriott left the band to form Humble Pie, the remaining members Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan, and Kenney Jones joined forces with singer Rod Stewart and guitarist Ronnie Wood to start a new era as Faces. The band’s 1971 album A Nod Is As Good As a Wink... to a Blind Horse, became a worldwide hit, thanks to the single, "Stay with Me". But by the mid-70s, Faces was no more and the members would go on to forge new phases of their careers, most notably Rod Stewart. But the music of the Small Faces and Faces is not forgotten. In the latest book in Sonicbond’s On Track series, Darlington lays out the full story of the Small Faces and Faces song-by-song, from the very start, to the very end.

The stories of rock musicians who die young are the thing of lore and legend. Accidents, drug overdoses, plane crashes—all have taken the lives of male rock stars still in their primes. But what became of their widowed brides? How did they survive a loss so great? What is it like to have to share your grief with millions of strangers? And where are these widows today?

I Can’t Remember if I Cried is part music history, part memoir, based around interviews with rock widows conducted by Lori —who herself lost her husband in 2010. With each widow that Lori interviews, she learns lessons in love, forgiveness, coping, and moving on. The book is framed by the author’s own narrative to create a single thread that links the stories together to ultimately create a tale of how the author’s life is changed through her interactions with these amazing women. Among the women profiled in the book are:
  • Judy Van Zant who, after losing husband Ronnie of Lynyrd Skynyrd, sued the re-formed band in order to protect her interests.
  • Sandy Chapin, widow of Harry Chapin, who has worked tirelessly to uphold Harry’s significant legacy around activism and hunger prevention.
  • Crystal Zevon, the ex-wife of Warren Zevon, who provides details of her abusive relationship with Warren and how she resolved her anger and grief.
  • Jamie Weiland, widow of Stone Temple Pilots’ Scott Weiland, speaking openly of Scott’s mental health, which at times kept him housebound for days.
  • Janna Leblanc, girlfriend of Stevie Ray Vaughan, who shares the details of her visits with Stevie in rehab.
  • Gloria Jones, the girlfriend of T. Rex’s Marc Bolan who was driving the car which crashed and took Marc’s life.
  • Anna Walter-Lax, girlfriend of Who drummer Keith Moon
Lori shares with us some of what these women shared with her for the book and how her life has been changed as a result of writing this book.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” by Crowander / “Last Train North” & “No Mercy” by TrackTribe]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/60443847Tue, 25 Jun 2024 21:07:48 +0000Eric SenichLori Tucker-Sullivan is a first-time guest. She’s the author of the new book I Can't Remember If I Cried: Rock Widows on Life, Love, and Legacy. The stories of rock musicians who die young are the thing of lore and legend. Accidents, drug overdoses,...I Can't Remember If I Cried: Rock Widows on Life, Love, and Legacy. The stories of rock musicians who die young are the thing of lore and legend. Accidents, drug overdoses, plane crashes—all have taken the lives of male rock stars still in their primes. But what became of their widowed brides? How did they survive a loss so great? What is it like to have to share your grief with millions of strangers? And where are these widows today?

I Can’t Remember if I Cried is part music history, part memoir, based around interviews with rock widows conducted by Lori —who herself lost her husband in 2010. With each widow that Lori interviews, she learns lessons in love, forgiveness, coping, and moving on. The book is framed by the author’s own narrative to create a single thread that links the stories together to ultimately create a tale of how the author’s life is changed through her interactions with these amazing women. Among the women profiled in the book are:
  • Judy Van Zant who, after losing husband Ronnie of Lynyrd Skynyrd, sued the re-formed band in order to protect her interests.
  • Sandy Chapin, widow of Harry Chapin, who has worked tirelessly to uphold Harry’s significant legacy around activism and hunger prevention.
  • Crystal Zevon, the ex-wife of Warren Zevon, who provides details of her abusive relationship with Warren and how she resolved her anger and grief.
  • Jamie Weiland, widow of Stone Temple Pilots’ Scott Weiland, speaking openly of Scott’s mental health, which at times kept him housebound for days.
  • Janna Leblanc, girlfriend of Stevie Ray Vaughan, who shares the details of her visits with Stevie in rehab.
  • Gloria Jones, the girlfriend of T. Rex’s Marc Bolan who was driving the car which crashed and took Marc’s life.
  • Anna Walter-Lax, girlfriend of Who drummer Keith Moon
Lori shares with us some of what these women shared with her for the book and how her life has been changed as a result of writing this book.

This is a follow-up to 2021’s Backstage Pass: The Grit and the Glamour. Joe holds a unique position as a music journalist who is also a professional musician. It’s allowed him access to areas where music journalists aren’t able to.

In this, his second book, Joe traces his childhood influences and meets the musicians who changed his life from heroes such as Janne Schaffer, who played on ABBA’s studio albums, to Gerry Rafferty (the genius behind ‘Baker Street’) and international superstar Bryan Adams and his songwriting partner Jim Vallance. Louder Than Words also delves into the often torturous touring life of a musician, with life on the road often leading to band break-ups or mental breakdowns. Joe also examines the impact of MTV on a generation of musicians, particularly one video by rising rock star Billy Squier that’s said to have ruined his career. 

In addition to his solo music career as a singer/songwriter/guitarist, Joe Matera has written for international music magazines like Guitar Player, Guitar World, Record Collector, and Goldmine. He also writes a popular newspaper music column for the Shepparton News. His list of interviewees includes Metallica, Queen, Blondie, Bon Jovi, KISS, and Black Sabbath, to name just a few.

Jim Gordon has been called the greatest rock drummer of all time by the world-famous musicians who played with him—John Lennon, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Tom Petty, Frank Zappa, Steely Dan, Ringo Starr, Harry Nilsson, Joe Cocker, and many more. They knew him for his superior playing, extraordinary training and technique, preternatural intuition, perfect sense of time, and his “big fill”—the mathematically precise clatter that exploded like detonating fireworks on his drum breaks. And as best-selling author and award-winning journalist Joel Selvin reveals, the story of Jim Gordon is the most brilliant, turbulent, and wrenching rock opera ever. The very chemicals in his brain that gifted him also destroyed him. His head crowded with a hellish gang of voices screaming at him, demanding obedience, Gordon descended from the absolute heights of the rock world—playing with the most famous musicians of his generation—to working with a Santa Monica dive-bar band for $30 a night. And then he committed the most shocking crime in rock history.

With full cooperation from the late Gordon's family, and based on his trademark extensive, detailed research, Joel Selvin’s account is at once an epic journey through an artist’s monumental musical contributions, a rollicking history of rock drumming, and a terrifying downward spiral into unimaginable madness that Gordon fought a valiant but losing battle against. One of the great untold stories of rock is finally being told.

Interest in hair metal is as strong as it was over three decades ago. In the summer of 2022 Mötley Crüe and Def Leppard went out on a stadium tour with Poison, and Joan Jett as supporting acts. The tour brought in $173.5 million, making it the highest-grossing tour of either band’s career. In 2016, Guns N’ Roses launched their Not In This Lifetime...Tour. The tour was 2016's highest-earning per-city global concert tour and the fourth-highest-grossing overall that year. In 2017, the tour ranked as the second highest-grossing worldwide tour and the band continued to bring in huge numbers through 2023. 

American Hairmetal: Can’t Get Enough features hundreds of photographs of bands including Poison, Cinderella, Mötley Crüe, Skid Row, Ratt, and Stryper. Wild quotes from the major players of the era including David Lee Roth, Jon Bon Jovi, Sebastian Bach, Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx, Bret Michaels, Don Dokken, and many of the era’s unsung heroes. This expanded edition includes more photos, more quotes, and a new introduction by Chip Z’Nuff of Enuff Z’Nuff and an interview with Rik Fox of WASP. Steven Blush is an author, journalist, and filmmaker who is best known for his 2006 book American Hardcore and the movie of the same name. He’s the founder of Seconds magazine and has written articles for many magazines including Vice, SPIN, Kerrang! and the Village Voice.

[Episode 192]https://www.spreaker.com/episode/u2-s-pop-a-lemon-or-overlooked-gem-episode-192--5944304140-Foot Lemon: The Complete Story of U2's Pop & PopMart. U2 had been on a decade-long run of hits when they released their album Pop in 1997. That included The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby. The band’s Zoo TV tour in the early 1990s was a multimedia extravaganza that dazzled critics and sold-out venues the world over. But Pop turned out to be U2’s worst-selling album, and the accompanying PopMart tour played to half-filled stadiums and earned the nickname “Flop Mart” in the press. The Pop era was left behind, but many U2 fans never forgot what Bono once called the “best thing we've ever done.”

40-Foot Lemon: The Complete Story of U2's Pop & PopMart takes readers into the studio and onto the stage during U2’s most experimental and ambitious era. It chronicles the difficult and expensive yearlong recording of Pop, where the band worked with five producers in multiple studios on two continents, striving to create a masterpiece. Instead, with tour dates already booked, U2 handed in an unfinished album.

40-Foot Lemon follows U2 around the globe on PopMart, the biggest tour in rock history, and featuring the world’s largest TV screen, a 10-story golden arch, a sofa-sized olive on a 100-foot martini stick, and a giant lemon disco ball that did all sorts of tricks. When it was working. PopMart struggled to fill seats in the U.S., but it shattered records in Europe and South America, playing to packed stadiums and making history from Sarajevo to Santiago. 40-Foot Lemon is the definitive account of U2 at their most interesting.

When Steve Perry joined jazz-blues progressive rock band Journey in 1977, they saw a rise to the top, and their 1981 album Escape hit #1. But Perry’s quest for control led to Journey’s demise. They lost their record contract and much of their audience. After the unlikely comeback of “Don’t Stop Believin’” in movies, television, and sports stadiums, a new generation discovered Journey.

A professional historian, Golland dispels rehashed myths and also shows how race in popular music contributed to their breakout success. As the economy collapsed and as people abandoned the spirit of Woodstock in the late 70s, Journey used the rhythm of soul and Motown to inspire hope in primarily white teenagers’ lives. Decades later, the band and their signature song remain classics, and now, with singer Arnel Pineda, they are again a fixture in major stadiums worldwide.

Greg Renoff is the author of the critically acclaimed books Van Halen Rising: How A Southern California Backyard Party Band Saved Heavy Metal from 2015 and Ted Templeman: A Platinum Producer’s Life in Music from 2020. Along with Brad Tolinski, Chris Gill wrote the critically acclaimed 2021 book Eruption: Conversations with Eddie Van Halen. In this episode, we discuss Alex’s upcoming book. What do they expect to read in the book? What do they hope to read? What will he have to say about his former bandmates David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar, and Michael Anthony? We also speculate as to whether or not we’ll ever see Alex Van Halen perform on stage again.

Furbank looks at some of the artists and albums that made 1972 such a watershed in musical achievement.

Part memoir, part social history, Revolutionary Spirit is the poignant, often hilarious story of a cult Liverpool musician’s scenic route to fame and artistic validation. If Morrissey was the Oscar Wilde of the 1980s indie scene, Simpson was its William Blake, a self destructive genius so lost in mystical visions of a new Arcadia that he couldn’t meet the rent.

Simpson’s career goes back to 1976, when he finds himself at the birth of Liverpool’s second great musical explosion. Along the way, he co-founds and christens the neo-psychedelic pop group The Teardrop Explodes, shares a flat with a teenage Courtney Love, and forms The Wild Swans, who burn bright and brief, in the process recording one of the all-time great cult hit singles, ‘Revolutionary Spirit’.

Marriage, fatherhood, and tropical illness follow, interspersed with artistic collaborations with Bill Drummond and members of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, among others. Eventually Simpson discovers that seven thousand miles away, in the Philippines, he is considered a musical god. Presidential suites, armed guards, police escorts—you couldn’t make it up, and, incredibly, he doesn’t need to. Here’s here today to tell his story.

Don't Dream It's Over is the first biography to focus exclusively on Neil Finn, the man who wrote the timeless hits of Split Enz and Crowded House.

In February 1980, 21-year-old Neil Mullane Finn penned the hit song 'I Got You' for Kiwi band Split Enz, co-founded by his older brother Tim. Over five decades, Neil created multiple hits for Split Enz, his band Crowded House and as a solo artist including “Don’t Dream It’s Over”, “Better Be Home Soon”, “One Step Ahead”, and “Into Temptation”. In 2018, he added one more impressive gig to his resume by joining Fleetwood Mac. Despite his success, Neil faced various challenges. He’s had conflicts with his brother Tim and had to cope with the tragic death of Crowded House bandmate Paul Hester. He had tough early days with Split Enz in England, surviving on welfare.

With a Catholic upbringing and a 40-year-long marriage to his wife Sharon, Neil's life has not been easy. Yet his story remains one of the most inspiring musical sagas in recent history. It’s all covered here in Jeff’s new book and he's here to share what's inside if his latest book!

In 2022, Chapell’s music was streamed 1.5 million times in 2022. They’re about to release a brand-new album in March titled The Underground Music Show. Alan is also a highly-regarded privacy rights attorney. His dual role as musician and attorney inspired a character created for the HBO series Silicon Valley.

We’ll talk about Alan's career in music, the songwriting process, the bands and artists he’s a fan of, and his favorite books on rock. I also get Alan’s perspective on streaming services and the current use of Artificial Intelligence aka “AI” in music.

The first edition of Song & Dance Man was the first book to seriously examine the work of Bob Dylan, originating the realm of scholarship that put Dylan on the road to the Nobel prize. Fifty-years and hundreds of Dylan books later, many still consider it one of the very best: Rolling Stone called it “Monumental, endlessly illuminating.”

The original Song & Dance Man released in 1972 covered Dylan’s work through 1970’s Self Portrait, but was expanded in a new edition in 1982, and again in 2000 – growing to over 900 pages and covering Dylan’s work through 1997’s Time Out Of Mind. But Song & Dance Man has been out of print for over a decade, during which time Bob Dylan won a Nobel Prize for Literature, continued delivering critically lauded records, and earned a new generation of fans while sustaining older ones in his seventh decade as an artist. The 50th Anniversary Series puts every word of Song & Dance Man back into print, but in an accessible three-volume format. Michael Gray is here to tell us about the all-new format and what’s inside all three volumes.

This is the first full-length biography of Mal Evans, the Beatles’ beloved friend, confidant, and roadie.

A towering figure in horn-rimmed glasses, Evans loomed large in the Beatles’ story, contributing at times as a performer and sometime lyricist, while struggling mightily to protect his beloved “boys.” He was there for the whole of the group’s remarkable, unparalleled story: from the Shea Stadium triumph through the creation of the timeless cover art for Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and the famous Let It Be rooftop concert.

Leaving a stable job as telecommunications engineer to serve as road manager for this fledgling band, Mal was the odd man out from the start—older, married with children, and without any music business experience. And yet he threw himself headlong into their world, traveling across the globe and making himself indispensable.

Womack is here to talk about Mal’s time with The Beatles, what he did after the breakup of the band, and his mysterious death in January of 1976.

Jones [Episode 167]https://www.spreaker.com/episode/murder-ballads-dark-disturbing-shocking-stories-with-author-steven-l-jones-episode-167--57855225 Murder Ballads Old and New: A Dark and Bloody Record. The book is an exploration of an age-old topic— our human need to document the horrors of the world around us.

Steven talks about the origins of the murder ballad, what makes up a horror ballad and some of the murder ballads recorded in punk, post-punk, alt-country, and folk by artists including Johnny Cash, The Smiths, Bob Dylan, The Clash, the Drive By Truckers, Lou Reed, and some obscure songs with stories that are almost hard to believe are true including a 1954 song which would eerily forecast the doom for the man who created a song called "I’m Gonna Murder My Baby". This story and many more in this episode.

Frank was the very first guest of the Booked On Rock podcast. He appeared in May of 2021 to talk about his two excellent books: On The Road With The Ramones and When The Wall Of Sound Met The New York Underground. He’s got a brand-new documentary feature film out now called Freestyle 101 Hip-Hop History. It's just been released on Amazon Prime, Google Play, and YouTube Movies. We’ll talk about that, along with just some of the many, many stories he has to tell.

Frank saw the metal band Body Count perform a concert where they brought actual Uzis on stage! He got to see Axl Rose around 1984 when he was an unknown, singing in a band called Rapid Fire. He later caught a pre-famous Axl and Slash backstage at an MTV Video Awards show stealing food from a catering line. We talk the raw side of Eddie Van Halen, why he would love to see Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony write a book and what he'd want to be in it. We wind down with a discussion of Keith Richards, and the latest Rolling Stones album Hackney Diamonds!

Part of a phenomenal @50 series from Motorbooks, this is a trip through 50 years of “The Hottest Band In The World”. It’s beautifully packaged and produced in a hardcover format, with stunning photos of the band on and off stage, much of them never before published. There are images of memorabilia, including gig posters, 7-inch picture sleeves, ticket stubs, and more. If there was ever a book that deserves something this visually stunning, it’s KISS.

To add to the experience is veteran author Martin Popoff, who pays tribute to the band by curating and examining the 50 most significant milestones. He covers all things KISS, starting with the band’s formation in the early 70s, to their meteoric rise to fame by the end of the decade, to the departure of original members Peter Criss and Ace Frehley, to the roller coaster ride of the 80s, the massively successful 90s reunion of the original four, right through to the band’s current “End Of The Road” tour. Martin is here to talk about all of it!

This is the biography of British singer/songwriter Ronnie Lane. In the 60s he co-founded Small Faces, who recorded several hit singles including “Itchycoo Park”, “Lazy Sunday”, “All or Nothing”, and “Tin Soldier”. But before long, singer Steve Marriott left the band to form Humble Pie, and the band would morph into Faces with Rod Stewart on lead vocals. That lineup would record future classics including “Stay With Me”, “I Know I’m Losing You”, and “Ooh La La”.

Anymore for Anymore charts the fortunes of Lane throughout that period, his later work with his band Slim Chance, and his unfortunate early death. Caroline is here to share her experience in writing the book and to talk about the career of the late great Ronnie Lane.

David Bowie said of Armstrong, “Kevin does what I pretend to do. Kevin’s a proper musician.” Iggy Pop said, “Kevin Armstrong has been around, and around.” In the early 80s, Armstrong signed to EMI Records as a solo artist, but fate had other plans for him. He’s gone on to carve out a career as a producer, songwriter, and guitarist, performing live and recording with Thomas Dolby, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Paul McCartney, Roy Orbison, Morrissey, Sinead O’Connor, and many, many more. In Absolute Beginner, Armstrong takes us into the backstage world of the artists he’s worked with for over 40 years, what it’s like to have a prime seat at the high table of rock and roll for over 40 years, and what it takes to survive as a self-taught musician. Kevin has had quite a career and he’s here to tell us all about it!

Kevin has had quite a career and he’s here to tell us all about it!

On Ice-T's 1991 classic O.G. Original Gangster, he introduced his all-Black hardcore band Body Count with lead guitarist Ernie C, bringing them on the first-ever Lollapalooza tour that summer. The next year, Body Count's self-titled debut album, rounded out by rhythm guitarist D-Roc the Executioner, bassist Mooseman, and drummer Beatmaster V, made them the most incendiary band in the world, confronting white supremacy and police brutality with pulverizing songs that shattered musical boundaries.

The album sparked nationwide protests and boycotts, including death threats, censure from the federal government, a spot on the FBI National Threat list, and a denunciation by the President of the United States. It was removed from stores and remains banned to this day, but decades later Body Count are performing to their biggest audiences and greatest acclaim. It’s one of the most remarkable comebacks in punk or metal history and we have author Ben Apatoff here to tell us all about it.

For nearly four decades, spanning 12 studio albums and 32 singles, no artist expressed the duality of life, the light and dark, the ugliness and the beauty better than Warren Zevon. As Warren’s ex-wife told James in his book: “If you’re looking at the themes through his songs and what influenced them, at the heart of everything is that Warren was an artist…first.”

David Bowie’s 1980 album Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) marked a pivotal point in his career. A new decade had arrived, he was coming off the experimental albums Low, Heroes, and Lodger known as the Berlin Trilogy, and had yet to release his commercially successful 1983 album Let’s Dance. On Scary Monsters, Bowie sought to bury the ghosts of his past and the golden decade of the 1970s to become a global superstar reaching millions of new fans.

We get into Liberty’s 30 year career with Billy Joel and the stories behind the endless stream of hits from Billy.

Liberty’s grooves are heard on 13 platinum Billy Joel albums that have sold over 150 million copies. He wrote and performed the drum parts on 22 of Billy’s 23 top-40 hits and all six Grammy-award winning recordings. In 2006, after 30 years as Billy’s drummer, he was let go from the band’s tour, ending the longest running tenure in Billy’s band beginning with the 1976 album Turnstiles. There was an eventual lawsuit over royalty payments. They eventually settled out of court and have since reconciled and reclaimed their friendship. Billy would write the forward to Liberty’s book. Liberty talks about that, how he pulled himself out of the depression that followed and what he’s up to now.

This book is a must-have for anyone who works in or around the live music business. It’s also a fascinating read for those who want to know what life really is like on the road. It’s not all glamorous. The grueling life on the road can take its toll. Often times musicians find themselves without the knowledge to handle the physical and psychological stresses that can mount over time.

This book offers an in-depth insight into how to manage all of it. Written by experienced healthcare and performance experts, it gives real-life advice, the latest research, and helpful tactics for addressing mental health, performance anxiety, addiction, relationships, physical well-being, diversity, and more. Adding their personal experiences to the book are musicians including Nile Rodgers and Justin Hawkins along with prominent touring personnel.

Touring and Mental Health is designed to be read on the road. Pick it up, pick a section, and put it down after, or read it at length. When you’re done, you’ll want to pass it around the tour bus. I’m really looking forward to talking to Tamsin about this book, how it all came about, and how it was all put together.

Brothers and Sisters is the Allman Brothers Band’s most successful album, selling over seven million copies. Its influence, both musically and culturally, continues to be felt today. I ask Alan about what's in the book, including his personal interviews with members of the band and the previously unheard interviews conducted by Allman Brothers Band archivist, photographer, and “Tour Mystic” Kirk West. We also get into the backstories to Allman Bros. classics like "Ramlin' Man", "Southbound", and "Jessica". Alan also reveals how the Allman Brothers came to the aid of Jimmy Carter’s failing presidential campaign, contributing to his election. Plus, we get into how Brothers and Sisters caused rifts within the band; and how their work inspired a new Southern rock genre.

Alan is also the author of the phenomenal 2014 book One Way Out: The Inside History of the Allman Brothers Band. It was the product of 25 years of reporting on the band, and was hailed by Rolling Stone as a "thorough account" and by Guitar World as "definitive". You don't wanna miss this interview!

Presented in a Q&A format, the book takes a critical analysis of The Cure’s 13 studio albums utilizing a panel of music critics who appeared on Martin’s video channel The Contrarians. As a bonus to the discussion, Martin created a detailed timeline linked to each album. This book will give long-time fans a new appreciation for the music created by this Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band fronted by Robert Smith.

Martin and I get into a discussion of The Cure. Were they post-punk? Did they launch the gothic rock genre? We also get into a side discussion about bands and artists who’ve been around for a long time. Is there a point where their creative well runs dry? Join in on the discussion!

Presented in a Q&A format, the book takes a critical analysis of The Cure’s 13 studio albums utilizing a panel of music critics who appeared on Martin’s video channel The Contrarians. As a bonus to the discussion, Martin created a detailed timeline linked to each album. This book will give long-time fans a new appreciation for the music created by this Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band fronted by Robert Smith.

Martin and I get into a discussion of The Cure. Were they post-punk? Did they launch the gothic rock genre? We also get into a side discussion about bands and artists who’ve been around for a long time. Is there a point where their creative well runs dry? Join in on the discussion!

Steve has some great stories about his childhood friendship with Stone Gossard, the early days of Green River and Mudhoney, meeting Eddie Vedder, touring with Pearl Jam and Nirvana, why he declined the offer to join Nirvana in 1990, and how he created his "Super Fuzz" sound.

In the book Robb Flynn of Machine Head calls, “One of the best biographies you’ll ever read” you'll get the story behind Metallica’s original bassist Cliff Burton.

Cliff led the band from garage thrash to sophisticated, progressive heights thanks in large part to his songwriting ability and phenomenal bass skills on the band’s first three studio albums, including the masterpiece Master of Puppets from 1986. Sadly, Cliff's life came to an early end. He was just 24 when he died in a tour bus crash in Sweden on September 27th, 1986. Following his passing, Metallica went on to massive global success but even they admit they’ve never pushed the creative envelope as radically as they had during the first four years of their career.

To coincide with the 40th anniversary of Metallica’s debut album Kill ‘Em All, McIver’s revised and updated edition of To Live Is To Die [originally published in 2009] adds a new chapter that looks at Cliff’s legacy from a fresh perspective and includes commentary from current Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo and Aquaman star Jason Momoa as well as an eyewitness account of the opening of the Cliff Burton Museum in Sweden in 2022. Testament bassist Steve Di Giorgio also adds his memories of meeting Cliff as a teen and then watching he and his band Metallica begin to take off.

We’ll talk about the life and career of Cliff Burton and some of what’s in this brand new edition of To Live Is To Die in this episode with author Joel McIver!

As part of Sonicbond Publishing’s On Track series, this book covers the one of the best selling bands in music history.

Between 1972 and 1979, the Eagles soared to the top of the charts four times. A total of five number one singles, 18 singles reaching the top 40. Their 1976 album Hotel California has gone on to sell 26 million copies while Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) went on to become the highest selling album of the 20th century in the US with 26 million copies sold by 1999. In 2023, the number of copies sold is now up to 38 million. In 1994, the reunited Eagles released the live album Hell Freezes Over, which shot straight to #1 and has sold 9 million copies. Their 2007 seven-times platinum selling studio album Long Road Out of Eden would put the band back on the top of the charts once more thanks to five consecutive Top 40 singles on the adult contemporary charts. After the death of founding member Glenn Frey in 2016, the trio of Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit recruited Glenn’s son Deacon and Vince Gill and continued to perform the band’s iconic songs covered in this book by Van der Kiste. He details every track on each studio and live album along with originals and cover versions recorded by the band but never officially released.

It’s the year 1971. Jack doesn’t have a fancy office in Manhatten. He doesn’t have a flashy car and back stage passes. Instead, he works out of a basement apartment in working class Queens and drives around looking for hidden talent in a beat down Volvo. The talent he does steal gets stolen by Manhatten agents he calls “sharks”. To finance a demo tape for his top talent, he had to borrow from a loan shark and pawn a friend’s guitar. But the tape fails to land a deal and Jack is running out of chances. His last hope is an offer from a friendly Queens mobster. Jack is asked to manage his obnoxious nephew as best as he can. If he does, doors will open.

Stephen is a veteran writer of fiction, both short stories and novels and he says all of his work is based on his life, places he’s been and events he’s witnessed. So what was it that inspired this latest book Queensborough Rock? We’re about to find out!

Tom Petty’s album Southern Accents was released on this month back in 1985. This is my personal favorite Petty album but this book isn’t one that praises everything about this particular Petty recording. It’s an honest assessment of the music, which Michael says is "a mix of classic rock songs mixed with nearly unlistenable 80s music".

Michael also gets into Petty’s use of the iconography of the American Confederacy, something Petty soon came to regret. But Michael also says Southern Accents is an important album for Petty; a pivot point in his career. I ask Michael about that and his examination of how the record both grew out of and reinforced enduring but flawed assumptions about Southern culture and the Lost Cause of the Confederacy. We also get into the songs recorded during the album sessions but left off, our favorite deep track from the album and more.

This month marks the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, one of the biggest selling albums of all time with over 40 millions copies sold to date. It topped Billboard and was on the charts for a total of over 700 weeks. Award-winning music biographer John Kruth delves into the making of this iconic record and considers why it continues to speak to generation after generation of music lovers around the world.

From avante-garde electronic to jazz to classical, it is all part of the music of Dark Side of the Moon and Kruth explores all of it and more in detail with behind-the-scenes reveals and unexpected insights. In-depth interviews with musicians, artists, DJs and many who have developed deeply personal relationships with this record including a passionate astrophysicist and a leading brain surgeon’s nurse who literally performed surgery while the track “Brain Damage” was being played. I ask John about all of this and more in the interview. This is one of my personal favorite albums. It’s easily my favorite Floyd album and arguably the most universally relatable album of all time.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander]]>331390s,toriamosfalsefullJefferson Airplane's 'Surrealistic Pillow' at 56/w Richard Butterworth ("Jefferson Airplane: Every Album, Every Song") [Episode 114]https://www.spreaker.com/episode/jefferson-airplane-s-surrealistic-pillow-at-56-w-richard-butterworth-jefferson-airplane-every-album-every-song-episode-114--52761712Surrealistic Pillow. It’s considered to be one of the greatest albums to come out of the late 60s counterculture, psychedelic rock era. It's also considered to be one of the greatest albums of all time. Author Richard Butterworth is back on the podcast to talk about the album and the band’s history.

Richard recently released the book “Jefferson Airplane: Every Album, Every Song” as part of Sonicbond’s On Track series. Richard talks about the band’s origins, how they drew on folk, blues, jazz and even literary visionaries to create their sound and lyrical themes. We also get into the band’s rise to prominence followed by their demise. As the book promo states: “Jefferson Airplane burned fierce and bright before their decline with the death of the psychedelic dream in Haight-Ashbury’s dreamily LSD-drenched hippie heartland. More than any other, the band and their recorded output were synonymous with the birth and death of the hippie era.”

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander]]>3522graceslick,jeffersonairplane,martybalin,paulkantner,the60sfalsefull"The Allman Brothers Band: Every Album, Every Song"/Andrew Wild [Episode 113]https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-allman-brothers-band-every-album-every-song-andrew-wild-episode-113--52717563
The story of the Allman Brothers band is one of triumph followed by tragedy followed by a remarkable comeback in the wake of that tragedy. As it’s stated in the book’s overview: "The music of the Allman Brothers is the pure distillation of the four main ingredients of American music: blues, rock, jazz and country. At their best, they transcended genre: they just were."

In this episode, Andrew talks with me about the legendary Duane Allman, his little brother Gregg Allman, who, along with his bandmates Dickey Betts, Butch Trucks and Jaimoe carried on in the wake of Duane’s passing and shortly after bassist Berry Oakley’s death. It wasn’t easy. They went through a rough period in the late 70s into the 80s before marking their comeback in the late 80s, a comeback that sustained right up until the death of Gregg and Butch. We’ll cover the legendary albums including ‘At Fillmore East’ and ‘Eat A Peach’ and the later members of the band Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes, who helped rejuvenate Gregg and his bandmates in the late 90s into the 2000s.

This time he’s here to talk about his latest book Kiss in the 1970s.

Peter takes us on a journey through KISS’s most eventful decade. In the early days, the band was just about done. Poor album reviews, some merited due to poor production, some underserved. With their record company against the wall and their manager’s money drained, KISS seemed destined to become one of the “lost” bands of the 70s. But, by the end of the decade, they were the biggest band in the world. Or, as they became famously known – "The Hottest Band In The World!"

The music, the costumes, the concerts, the merchandise, the comic books, the TV appearances and the so bad it’s good ’78 film Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park. Peter is here to tell us all about it in part one of a two-part interview. In part two we the 14 albums released during that original era of the band with Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. That includes the studio albums, the live albums and the four solo albums. That episode is coming soon!

This time he’s here to talk about his latest...Warren Zevon: Every Album, Every Song. This time he’s here to talk about his latest book Kiss in the 1970s.

Peter takes us on a journey through KISS’s most eventful decade. In the early days, the band was just about done. Poor album reviews, some merited due to poor production, some underserved. With their record company against the wall and their manager’s money drained, KISS seemed destined to become one of the “lost” bands of the 70s. But, by the end of the decade, they were the biggest band in the world. Or, as they became famously known – "The Hottest Band In The World!"

The music, the costumes, the concerts, the merchandise, the comic books, the TV appearances and the so bad it’s good ’78 film Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park. Peter is here to tell us all about it in part one of a two-part interview. In part two we the 14 albums released during that original era of the band with Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. That includes the studio albums, the live albums and the four solo albums. That episode is coming soon!

Kenward Cooper tells his story in a heartfelt way, while also finding humor in his struggles and misfortunes, tracing the time when he was at the cusp of the Las Vegas music scene, just before the success of the Killers, Panic! at the Disco, and Imagine Dragons, and the grief of his marriage ending after a romantic rivalry involving a member of one of the aforementioned bands.

From journalism to songwriting, performing, and screenwriting, Kenward takes on many endeavors - all with the same goal of trying to make his mark. He travels from coast to coast and internationally in a never-ending pursuit of dreams. Rock n roll will only break your heart. But it will put a smile on your face while it does it.

Kenward Cooper is a man of many passions. Music will always be number one. He’s been a ghostwriter on a hit song and has licensed his music for television. With an urge to tell stories in another creative form, he immersed himself in the craft of writing screenplays. “Rock N Roll Will Only Break Your Heart” is another extension of his writing and his first book.

Songs that sell the most copies become hits, but some of those hits become something more—iconic recordings that not only inspire a generation but also change the direction of music. In “Anatomy of 55 More Songs”, based on his column for the Wall Street Journal, music journalist and historian Marc Myers tells the story behind fifty-five rock, pop, R&B, country, and soul-gospel hits through intimate interviews with the artists who wrote and recorded them.

Part oral history, part musical analysis, “Anatomy of 55 More Songs” ranges from Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Bad Moon Rising” to Dionne Warwick’s “Walk On By,” The Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations,” and Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid.” Bernie Taupin recalls how he wrote the lyrics to Elton John’s “Rocket Man;” Joan Jett remembers channeling her rage against how she had been unfairly labeled and treated as a female rocker into “Bad Reputation;” and Ozzy Osbourne, Elvis Costello, Bob Weir, Sheryl Crow, Alice Cooper, Roberta Flack, John Mellencamp, Keith Richards, Carly Simon, and many others reveal the emotions and technique behind their major works.

Through an absorbing chronological, song-by-song analysis of the most memorable post-war hits, “Anatomy of 55 More Songs” provides a sweeping look at the evolution of pop music between 1964 and today. This book will change how you listen to music and evaluate the artists who create it.

Marc Myers is a regular contributor to the Wall Street Journal, where he writes about music and the arts. He is the author of the critically acclaimed books “Anatomy of a Song”, “Why Jazz Happened”, and “Rock Concert”. You can hear Mark talk about that book in episode 31 of Booked On Rock. Marc also posts daily at JazzWax.com, a three-time winner of the Jazz Journalists Association’s award for Jazz Blog of the Year.

Throughout Elvis's early career, the Jordanaires were his most trusted friends and probably his most positive influence. While the Jordanaires' bread and butter may have been Nashville's burgeoning recording industry, it seemed that there was always a plane waiting to take them cross country to the pop sessions in L.A. They sang on most of Ricky Nelson's biggest hits and over the years backed up Andy Williams, Fats Domino, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Dinah Shore, The Everly Brothers, Glen Campbell, Patti Page, Neil Young, Perry Como, Loretta Lynn, Ringo Starr, Tom Jones, Andy Griffith, Bobby Vinton, Brenda Lee, Patsy Cline, Billy Ray Cyrus, Clyde McPhatter, and about 2,100 other recording acts.

Michael Kosser is a senior editor at American Songwriter magazine, where he has written a column on songwriting called "Street Smarts" for the past twenty years. Since 1979, Kosser's songs have been recorded by George Jones, Barbara Mandrell, Conway Twitty, Tammy Wynette, Charlie Rich, and others. Many of his songs have appeared on the national country music charts. Kosser offers an in-depth, insider's view of Nashville during its ascendancy in his book “How Nashville Became Music City, U.S.A.: Fifty Years of Music Row”.

Alan Stoker is the son of Gordon Stoker, of the Jordanaires quartet. He’s a Grammy-winning audio engineer, a musician, vocalist, and a music historian. As a musician/vocalist, he’s backed up beach music legend Clifford Curry and Sam Moore of the Stax Records duo Sam and Dave. He’s also recorded with prog-rock group McKendree Spring and E Street Band bassist Gary Tallent. He’s opened shows for Ray Charles and his orchestra, Mary Wilson of the Supremes, Rick Nelson and the Stone Canyon band, the Tams, Crystal Gayle, and others.

He’s the long-time legendary archivist for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, TN. He’s preserved some of the earliest recordings of the biggest names in music. Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash are just a few of the artists whose recordings Stoker has been involved with. His work is credited on close to one hundred commercially released products, including “Hank Williams Mother’s Best Flour Show”, “The Patsy Cline Collection”, “The Bristol Sessions: Historic Recordings from Bristol, Tennessee”, and the Grammy award–winning “Night Train to Nashville: Music City Rhythm & Blues 1945–1970”.

Stoker has appeared in numerous documentaries as a music historian. He’s a twenty-year member of the National Recording Preservation Board at the Library of Congress.

Formed in 1967 Roger Waters, Rick Wright and Nick Mason, helmed by the tragically brilliant Syd Barrett, fused English pastoral whimsy with electrifying instrumental voyages through inner and outer space. Their gigs at underground clubs, such as UFO and Middle Earth, are the stuff of psychedelic legend. Between 1968 and 1971, Barrett replaced by David Gilmour, their sonic inquiries were never braver: some delivered instantly; others revealed their treasures slowly; all played crucially distinctive parts in rock's development.

During the 1970s, the music matured as the messages darkened. While Floyd continued to prove that emotional weight and cathartic release can be forged from deceptively modest arrangements, the band's live spectaculars reached a pitch of technical complexity and extravagance none has matched. With insightful analysis, objectivity and ironic wit, Richard Butterworth appraises afresh Pink Floyd's official recorded canon, from “Arnold Layne” to ‘The Endless River’.

Richard Butterworth's grown-up career began in advertising, first as a paste-up artist, later as a graphic designer.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/52083901Thu, 08 Dec 2022 21:55:01 +0000Eric SenichPink Floyd are one of the most innovative, enduringly successful bands in history. Their influence is incalculable. 1973's ‘Dark Side of the Moon’, though far from the first concept album, established a new model for quasi-symphonic, long-form...
Formed in 1967 Roger Waters, Rick Wright and Nick Mason, helmed by the tragically brilliant Syd Barrett, fused English pastoral whimsy with electrifying instrumental voyages through inner and outer space. Their gigs at underground clubs, such as UFO and Middle Earth, are the stuff of psychedelic legend. Between 1968 and 1971, Barrett replaced by David Gilmour, their sonic inquiries were never braver: some delivered instantly; others revealed their treasures slowly; all played crucially distinctive parts in rock's development.

During the 1970s, the music matured as the messages darkened. While Floyd continued to prove that emotional weight and cathartic release can be forged from deceptively modest arrangements, the band's live spectaculars reached a pitch of technical complexity and extravagance none has matched. With insightful analysis, objectivity and ironic wit, Richard Butterworth appraises afresh Pink Floyd's official recorded canon, from “Arnold Layne” to ‘The Endless River’.

Richard Butterworth's grown-up career began in advertising, first as a paste-up artist, later as a graphic designer. Settling on copywriting, for years he reaped the pleasures, pains and penury of freelancing. As a lifelong believer in the healing and redemptive power of music, however, he knew that humankind's highest art-form would eventually saddle up and ride him into the sunset. Today Richard lives in Cornwall, UK with his partner Sue, two golden retrievers, a tenor saxophone and a justifiably ancient laptop computer, on which he still writes about the music he loved before he was a grown-up.

Much like the generation it emerged from, Pearl Jam is a mass of contradictions. They were an enormously successful mainstream rock band who felt deeply uncomfortable with the pursuit of capitalistic spoils. They were progressive activists who spoke in favor of abortion rights and against the Ticketmaster monopoly, and yet they epitomized the sound of traditional, male-dominated rock ‘n’ roll. They were looked at as spokesmen for their generation, even though they ultimately projected profound confusion and alienation. They triumphed, and failed, in equal doses — the quintessential Gen-X tale.

Impressive as their stats, accolades, and longevity may be, Hyden also argues that Pearl Jam’s most definitive accomplishment lies in the impact their music had on Generation X as a whole. Pearl Jam’s music helped an entire generation of listeners connect with the glory of bygone rock mythology and made it relevant during a period in which tremendous American economic prosperity belied a darkness at the heart of American youth. More than just a chronicle of the band’s career, this book is also a story about Gen- X itself, who like Pearl Jam came from angsty, outspoken roots and then evolved into an establishment institution, without ever fully shaking off their uncertain, outsider past. For so many Gen-Xers growing up at the time, Pearl Jam’s music was a beacon that offered both solace and guidance. They taught an entire generation how to grow up without losing the purest and most essential parts of themselves.

Written with his celebrated blend of personal memoir, criticism, and journalism, Hyden explores Pearl Jam’s path from Ten to now. It's a chance for new fans and old fans alike to geek out over Pearl Jam minutia—the B-sides, the beloved deep cuts, the concert bootlegs—and explore the multitude of reasons why Pearl Jam’s music resonated with so many people. As Hyden explains, “Most songs pass through our lives and are swiftly forgotten. But Pearl Jam is forever.”

Steven Hyden is the author of “This Isn’t Happening”, “Twilight of the Gods”, “Your Favorite Band Is Killing Me”, and “Hard to Handle” with Steve Gorman. His writing has appeared in the New York Times Magazine, Washington Post, Billboard, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Grantland, The A.V. Club, Slate, and Salon. He is currently the cultural critic at UPROXX. He lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota with his wife and two children.

This eye-opening book draws back the curtain on the Beatles’ experiments with psychedelics, meditation, chanting, and Indian music. Among many shocking revelations never before revealed, we discover who invented "raga rock" (not the Beatles), the real identity of rare Indian instruments and musicians on their tracks, which Beatle was the best meditator (not George), why the Beatles left India in a huff, John and George’s attempts to return, Maharishi’s accurate prediction, and who Sexy Sadie, Jojo, Bungalow Bill, Dear Prudence, Blackbird, My Sweet Lord, Hare Krishna, and the Fool on the Hill really were.

Half a century later, the Beatles have sold more records than any other recording artist. A new generation wants to relive the magic of the flower-power era and is now discovering the message of this iconic band and its four superstars. For people of all nations and ages, the Beatles’ mystique lives on. “The Inner Light” is Susan Shumsky’s gift to their legacy.

Susan Shumsky holds a Doctor of Divinity degree and has authored twenty books in English. She’s released thirty-six foreign editions, won forty-one book awards, and done 1,300 media appearances. A rare insider, she was on the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s personal staff for six years and lived in his ashrams for twenty years.

“Extreme Music” includes over 100 interviews with makers and musicians as Tau uses his background in psychiatry to help readers understand what motivates people to create and listen to non-mainstream music. As a fan of multiple avant-garde musical genres, Tau uncovers the pleasures (and sometimes pain and frustration) found at the outré fringes of music.

“Extreme Music” is the ideal guide for curious seekers, die-hard fans, and cultural investigators.

Michael Tau was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. As a teenager, he was introduced to bizarre and adventurous music via the after-hours CBC radio program, Brave New Waves, which he recorded onto cassette to listen to the next day. In university, he attended noise shows in lofts in Montreal’s quasi-industrial districts, to the detriment of his hearing. He has since written for numerous underground music publications and has authored several music zines. When he isn’t listening to the Merzbow boxset, he works as a physician.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/51798747Thu, 10 Nov 2022 21:55:01 +0000Eric SenichMichael Tau had spent years obsessed by the extremes of musical expression. “Extreme Music: Silence to Noise and Everything In Between” is the culmination of decades of research into the sounds (and silences) that comprise the outer limits and...
“Extreme Music” includes over 100 interviews with makers and musicians as Tau uses his background in psychiatry to help readers understand what motivates people to create and listen to non-mainstream music. As a fan of multiple avant-garde musical genres, Tau uncovers the pleasures (and sometimes pain and frustration) found at the outré fringes of music.

“Extreme Music” is the ideal guide for curious seekers, die-hard fans, and cultural investigators.

Michael Tau was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. As a teenager, he was introduced to bizarre and adventurous music via the after-hours CBC radio program, Brave New Waves, which he recorded onto cassette to listen to the next day. In university, he attended noise shows in lofts in Montreal’s quasi-industrial districts, to the detriment of his hearing. He has since written for numerous underground music publications and has authored several music zines. When he isn’t listening to the Merzbow boxset, he works as a physician.

Contained within the pages: interviews with Sleater-Kinney, Sonic Youth, Patti Smith, Lou Reed, Flipper, John Fogerty, Neil Young, and Rick James, along with profiles of Robbie Robertson, John Lee Hooker, James Brown, the Clash, Prince, Michael Jackson, the Flamin’ Groovies, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, X, Laurie Anderson, Stevie Wonder, George Clinton, Devo, San Francisco punks Crime, and more.

Plus short takes on Muddy Waters, Townes Van Zandt, Captain Beefheart, Professor Longhair, and others. As Greil Marcus writes in the Foreword, “You can feel the atmosphere: someone has walked into a room with a pencil in his hand—as the words go in perhaps the first song about a music critic, not counting Chuck Berry’s aside about the writers at the rhythm reviews—and suddenly people are relaxed . . . He isn’t after your secrets. He doesn’t want to ruin your career to make his. He doesn’t care what you think you need to hide. He actually is interested in why and how you make your music and what you think of it. So people open up, very quickly, and, very quickly, as a reader, you’re not reading something you’ve read before.”

Michael Goldberg is a journalist, novelist, and photographer. He’s been interviewing and photographing musicians since he was seventeen. While a junior at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley, California, he managed to interview the Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia. He was a senior writer and associate editor at Rolling Stone magazine for a decade. In 1994, he founded the first web music magazine, the award-winning Addicted To Noise, and was a senior vice president at the SonicNet music site, and subsequently at MTV Online. His books include “Wicked Game: The True Story of James Calvin Wilsey”, “Ture Love Scars”, “The Flowers Lied”, and “Untitled”.

Acclaimed music journalist Steve Baltin examines twenty-nine iconic songs of modern music to ultimately answer: what transforms a song into an anthem? How did these songs become such a part of our culture? Featuring original interviews with superstar musicians like the Beach Boys, Shania Twain, and Earth Wind and Fire, this book offers a detailed celebration of songwriting, fan connections, memorable live performances, and more.
A must-have anthology for music fans, “Anthems We Love” showcases the most beloved and popular songs of all time, including Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline,” the Jackson 5’s “ABC,” Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way,” and TOTO’s “Africa.” More so, it centers the artists behind these songs—and the songs that formed the soundtracks of their lives—as they share stories, for the first time, about how writing an anthem has changed their lives, those of their fans, and our world.

Once a proud teenage music geek, Southern California-based author and journalist Steve Baltin has turned that passion into a career that can only be described as a rock and roll fantasy.

As a writer for Rolling Stone, L.A. Times, Chicago Tribune, Billboard, Playboy, and many more, as well as the host of the podcast “My Turning Point” and the Amazon Prime/Hulu streaming series “Riffing With”, Baltin has interviewed a who's who of music luminaries. Among his favorite interviews are Alanis Morissette, Slash, Stevie Wonder, Dave Grohl, ASAP Rocky, B. B. King, John Mellencamp, Aretha Franklin, Adele, and a list of artists in the thousands.

Against a backdrop of mounting political and cultural tumult, “Top of the Mountain” delivers the details and excitement of Shea and the spirited, curious new generation who would soon claim the decade for its own. Packed with hundreds of color photographs, it gives a one-of-a-kind account of this monumental event, gathering first-person interviews and quotes from dozens of those who experienced a piece of pop-culture history—celebrities, writers, agents, producers, photographers, opening act performers, security guards, radio personalities, cameramen, and fans of all kinds. Among them were young Caryn Johnson (Whoopi Goldberg), Mary Louise Streep (Meryl Streep), and Steven Lento (Steven Van Zandt); future Beatle wives Linda Eastman and Barbara Bach; established stars like Bobby Vinton and Ed Sullivan; and artists such as Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Felix Cavaliere and The Rascals, Marvin Gaye, and more. Together, they paint an unforgettable picture of a night like no other.

An award-winning author, leading Hollywood historian, and reformed stand-up comic, Laurie Jacobson has written and produced documentaries, television series, and specials such as “The 20th Anniversary of the Mary Tyler Moore Show” and “The Museum of Television and Radio’s Salute to Funny Women of Television”. Her other books include “Hollywood Heartbreak”, “Hollywood Haunted”, “Dishing Hollywood”, “Timmy’s in the Well—The Jon Provost Story”, and “TV Dinners”. She’s a frequent guest on radio and podcasts.

- Key performances such as his breakthrough performance at LA’s Troubadour, and the historic Soviet Union and Dodger Stadium concerts
- Legendary collaborations with the likes of George Michael, Billy Joel, and Kate Bush
- His many film and television roles, including Tommy and The Muppet Show
- Tireless work on behalf of AIDS research
- Notable awards and honors, including knighthood
- And, of course, his collaboration with longtime cowriter Bernie Taupin

Beginning with his 1969 debut LP, Elton John is regarded as one of the most influential musicians and performers of the previous five decades. In examining 75 touchstones, Gaar provides a unique presentation of Elton’s career arc, from his first steps as a solo artist to the breakthrough album ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ to his flamboyant stage presence, and beyond.

Every page is illustrated with stunning concert and candid offstage photography, including gig posters, 7-inch picture sleeves, and more. This incredible package also includes a gatefold Elton John timeline, a previously unpublished gatefold artwork, an 8×10-inch glossy print, and a pullout poster. The result is a stunning tribute to one of the most admired stars in rock—in a milestone year.

Gillian G. Gaar has written for numerous publications, including Mojo, Rolling Stone, and Goldmine. Previous books include “She’s a Rebel: The History of Women in Rock & Roll”; “Entertain Us: The Rise of Nirvana”; “Return of the King: Elvis Presley’s Great Comeback”; “The Doors: The Complete Illustrated History”; and “Boss: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band—The Illustrated History”. She lives in Seattle.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/51411497Thu, 06 Oct 2022 20:55:01 +0000Eric SenichFew rock artists continue to gather more and more adulation with age. Sir Elton Hercules John is an exception who proves the rule. In “Elton John at 75”, veteran rock journalist Gillian Gaar presents a unique and beautifully produced celebration of...
- Key performances such as his breakthrough performance at LA’s Troubadour, and the historic Soviet Union and Dodger Stadium concerts
- Legendary collaborations with the likes of George Michael, Billy Joel, and Kate Bush
- His many film and television roles, including Tommy and The Muppet Show
- Tireless work on behalf of AIDS research
- Notable awards and honors, including knighthood
- And, of course, his collaboration with longtime cowriter Bernie Taupin

Beginning with his 1969 debut LP, Elton John is regarded as one of the most influential musicians and performers of the previous five decades. In examining 75 touchstones, Gaar provides a unique presentation of Elton’s career arc, from his first steps as a solo artist to the breakthrough album ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ to his flamboyant stage presence, and beyond.

Every page is illustrated with stunning concert and candid offstage photography, including gig posters, 7-inch picture sleeves, and more. This incredible package also includes a gatefold Elton John timeline, a previously unpublished gatefold artwork, an 8×10-inch glossy print, and a pullout poster. The result is a stunning tribute to one of the most admired stars in rock—in a milestone year.

Gillian G. Gaar has written for numerous publications, including Mojo, Rolling Stone, and Goldmine. Previous books include “She’s a Rebel: The History of Women in Rock & Roll”; “Entertain Us: The Rise of Nirvana”; “Return of the King: Elvis Presley’s Great Comeback”; “The Doors: The Complete Illustrated History”; and “Boss: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band—The Illustrated History”. She lives in Seattle.

See: have a vision for your shot and execute that vision
Shoot: become technically proficient with your camera
Edit: help re-create the emotion from the day of the shoot
Develop: identify your area of focus for photography
Earn: start getting paid for your art

It’s a proven process every photographer follows but few talk about. But if you use it, it will shave years off the learning curve Dave himself went through as an amateur photographer.

This book teaches readers to learn to see, because in the end, that’s what a photographer does: notice what other people often miss and understand how to capture those things in a masterful way.

David Molnar is a celebrity and advertising photographer, believer, and family man. His work has been seen on millions of Pepsi cans, in People magazine, on American Idol, and in the New York Times. His clients include Google, Pepsi, and Sony, among many others including the band Skillet (David shot the photo you see on the cover of the band’s 2009 album ‘Awake’). Feeling so blessed to be realizing his dreams, David is now focusing on being “Your Photography Mentor.” He is helping tens of thousands of photographers pursue their dreams by creating world-class photo education, inspiration, and resources.

“MusicQuake” tells the stories of 50 pivotal albums and performances that shook the world of modern music — chronicling the fascinating tales of their creation, reception, and legacy. Tracing enigmatic composers, risqué performers, and radical songwriters — this book introduces the history of 20th century music in a new light.

From George Gershwin and John Cage to Os Mutantes and Fela Kuti; from Patti Smith and The Slits to Public Enemy and Missy Elliott — by discussing each entry within the context of its creation, the book will give readers true insight into why each moment was so pivotal and tell the stories surrounding the most exciting music ever produced. Some were shocking, others confusing, beautiful, and surreal; some were scorned on release, others were chart toppers; and yet more inspired entire movements and generations of new musicians.

These cutting-edge works, which celebrate novelty, technology, and innovation, help define what music is today — acting as prime examples of how powerful songs can be.

This book is from the Culture Quake series, which looks into iconic moments of culture which truly created paradigm shifts in their respective fields. Also available are “ArtQuake”, “FilmQuake” and “FashionQuake”.

Robert Dimery is a writer, editor and music expert who has worked on “Tony Wilson's 24 Hour Party People” and “Breaking Into Heaven: The Rise and Fall of the Stone Roses”, plus countless other popular music publications. He was general editor of “1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die” and “1001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die” and has worked for a variety of magazines, including Time Out London and Vogue.

Kramp [Episode 81]https://www.spreaker.com/episode/this-band-has-no-past-how-cheap-trick-became-cheap-trick-brian-j-kramp-episode-81--51154327
“This Band Has No Past: How Cheap Trick Became Cheap Trick”, featuring a foreword by Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament, tells the story of a bar band from the Midwest—the best and weirdest bar band in the Midwest— and how they doggedly pursued a most unlikely career in rock’n’roll. It traces every gnarly limb of the family tree of bands that culminated in Cheap Trick, then details how this unlikely foursome paid their dues—with interest—night after night, slogging it out everywhere from high schools to bars to bowling alleys to fans’ back yards, before signing to Epic Records and releasing two brilliant albums six months apart.

Drawing on more than eighty original interviews, “This Band Has No Past: How Cheap Trick Became Cheap Trick” is packed full of new insights and information that fans of the band will devour. How was the Cheap Trick logo created? How did the checkerboard pattern come to be associated with the band? When did Rick Nielsen start wearing a ballcap 24/7? Who caught their mom and dad rolling on the couch? What kind of beer did David Bowie drink? And when might characters like Chuck Berry, Frank Zappa, Don Johnson, Otis Redding, Eddie Munster, Kim Fowley, John Belushi, Jim Belushi, Elvis Presley, Leslie West, Groucho Marx, Robert F. Kennedy, Patti Smith, Andy Warhol, Lou Reed, The Coneheads, Tom Petty, Harvey Weinstein, Michael Mann, Linda Blair, Eddie Van Halen, Elvis Costello, Matt Dillon, and Pam Grier turn up? Read “This Band Has No Past” and find out and you may even get an answer to a few of those questions today with our guest Brian J. Kramp.

I also ask Brian a question that has nothing to do with Cheap Trick or rock and roll, but the paranormal. Here is what his bio says: "Brian J., short for Brian James, hails from Waukesha, where he was raised in two houses, one across the street from a bowling alley, the other haunted. The bowling alley was the Sunset Bowl, where Cheap Trick were ‘discovered’ by Jack Douglas. Douglas also happened to be the name of the ghost: a seven-year-old boy, one of the previous owner's nine children, who fell off the roof of a neighborhood building."

In the mid-nineties, Brian attended the University of Wisconsin in Madison, where it seemed like every other person he met had a great Cheap Trick story and was eager to tell it. The band were legendary in that town, icons already, and for Brian, an ardent rock fan and budding record collector, Cheap Trick pressed all the right buttons. Thirty years and thousands of records later, here we are: Brian is now the proud author of this, his first book, about his favorite band.

Brian has lived in Queens, New York, and Austin, Texas, but now resides near Madison with his wife and daughter. He has been a featured host on the long running podcasts Cheap Talk (a podcast devoted to Cheap Trick) with Ken Mills; and Rock and/or Roll, a part of the Pantheon Podcast Network.

Brian has lived in Queens, New York, and Austin, Texas, but now resides near Madison with his wife and daughter. He has been a featured host on the long running podcasts Cheap Talk (a podcast devoted to Cheap Trick) with Ken Mills; and Rock and/or Roll, a part of the Pantheon Podcast Network.

Unquestionably, Billy’s catalogue has thrived, despite constantly changing trends in the music industry. Over a fifty-plus year span, many of his relatable songs have become standards, covered by countless artists. The third best-selling solo artist in the U.S. has continued to attract multi-generational audiences across the planet, so if you’re ‘all in the mood for a melody,’ read on. As part of Sonicbond’s On Track series, “Billy Joel Every Album, Every Song” contains behind-the-scenes stories and an analysis of Joel’s extensive studio recordings, many of which became top 40 hits in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. The book also features a foreword by legendary Billy Joel drummer Liberty DeVitto.

Rock journalist Lisa Torem has written features, profiles and reviews for American and British outlets for over a decade, and has interviewed Ian Anderson, Colin Blunstone, Eric Burdon, Dave Brubeck, Dave Davies, Janis Ian, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Sarah McLachlan, Robin Trower, Suzanne Vega, Dweezil Zappa among others. She co-authored “Through the Eye of the Tiger” with Survivor’s Jim Peterik in 2014 and “All That Glitters” with vocalist Ava Cherry in early 2022.

From the carefree to the complex, the mindless to the mind-bending, rock films have staked out their own turf by simultaneously celebrating innocence and challenging artistic and social conventions. With an insightful round-up of fifty must-see rock films spanning crowd-pleasers, art-house favorites, underground gems, and undisputed classics, “Rock on Film” surveys the nearly seventy-year canon of a genre like no other.

A series of original interviews with Cameron Crowe, Jim Jarmusch, Penelope Spheeris, Taylor Hackford, and John Waters illuminates how rock has influenced the work of some of the most divergent and thoughtful directors in movie history. Illustrated throughout by more than 150 full-color and black-and-white images, “Rock on Film” brings the history of music in the movies to vivid life.

Fred Goodman is a former editor at Rolling Stone, whose work has appeared in the New York Times and many other publications. His previous books include the award-winning “The Mansion on the Hill: Dylan, Young, Geffen, Springsteen and the Head-on Collision of Rock and Commerce” and “Why Lhasa de Sela Matters”. He lives in New York.

Collins also recorded with a diverse list of artists including Peter Gabriel, John Martyn, Frida, Robert Plant, Mike Oldfield, Marti Webb, Al Di Meola, Adam Ant, Eric Clapton, Phil Bailey, Band Aid, Marilyn Martin, Paul McCartney, Tina Turner, Chaka Khan and Tears for Fears - another thirty-five albums or singles, many of which were massive global hits.

He also found time to tour with Robert Plant and Eric Clapton in addition to his extensive concert duties with Genesis and as a solo artist. He also performed at Live Aid - at both concerts. That’s around six hundred live concerts in total between 1980 and 1989. There’s no doubt that the guy had a busy decade.

Amidst the overwhelming commercial success and ahead of any other career plan, Phil Collins was a musician. His ubiquity between 1980 and 1989 hides ten years of magnificent music, and this book examines Phil’s musical output through these ten tumultuous years.

Andrew Wild is a writer, music collector and film buff with many books to his name, including recent publications about Queen, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits and Crosby, Stills and Nash and two books on “Eric Clapton: Every Album, Every Song” and his most recent “Eric Clapton Sessions”. His comprehensive study of every song recorded and performed by the Beatles between 1957 and 1970 was published by Sonicbond in 2019.

In “The Music Never Stops”, Shapiro with the help of author Dean Budnick, shares the inside story of how he became a power-house in the music industry—an island in an increasingly consolidated landscape of venues, ticketing, and touring—through the lens of fifty iconic concerts.

I first interviewed Susan for the Van Halen News Desk back in October of 2020 shortly after the passing of Eddie Van Halen. This time Susan talks about her career, all of the bands and artists she met along the way. I also had something personal I wanted to share with Susan, who is also a psychic empath. My father Jim Senich passed on July 21st and it really hit me hard. I’m still recovering from it and will for a while. I had a great relationship with him. But there were a few interesting things that happened since his passing that I wanted to tell Susan about and see what she thought. Interestingly enough, I scheduled this interview before my Dad passed. It’s a story I not only wanted to share with Susan but you as well. The listeners have been so great with sending condolences on the Booked On Rock Facebook page. So I hope, if you have lost someone close, this story gives you the peace it has given me.

Author Robert Duncan was barely out of his teens when he started writing for the influential music magazine Creem, becoming its managing editor at 22. He went on to write for Rolling Stone, Circus, Life, and dozens of other publications, interviewing hundreds of rock stars at the top of their game. In the process, Duncan became a rock Zelig: he shares tales of his time with a young, scrawny Bruce Springsteen while driving him around Detroit; he introduces The Clash‘s Mick Jones and Joe Strummer to a broken-down piano player of dubious ability, leading to a hilariously disastrous recording session with the band; he works alongside legendary rock critic Lester Bangs, witnesses his tragic spiral, and finally discovers him dead of an OD in the apartment next door. Robert is also the author of the first ever biography on KISS – 1978’s “KISS”.

Robert joins us from his home near San Francisco to talk about all of those experiences which provided the fuel for his debut novel “Loudmouth”!

Beginning with the highly regarded trio of albums that ended the 1970s, the book continues through the line-up hardships and turmoil of the 1980s to the occasionally awkward musical experiments of the early 1990s, closing with the band’s triumphant two-decade-long career revival.

Motörhead are arguably the greatest rock and roll band in history, but it took many years to win that accolade. This is the story of the band that refused to die. Their beginning called The Vengeful Bastard was a tough one. They had to deal with wayward producers, hostile record companies, a couple of false starts and even the ignominy of being proclaimed the Worst Band in the World by the NME!

Famed for its loudness, Motörhead has proved inspirational for a host of newer bands and created two sub-genres of heavy music: speed and thrash metal. Not bad for a band who announced themselves with: ‘We are Motörhead, and we play rock and roll.’ at live gigs.

Duncan Harris started as a music journalist and interviewer in the 1980s, writing for fanzines and magazines. He contributed to the Rough Guides music series and, until recently, maintained a long series of reviews for the Internet website The Dreaded Press. This book is the result, a labour of love for an iconic band. He’s also the author of another “On Track” book – “Hawkwind: Every Album, Every Song”, covering the band Lemmy was once a member of, so Duncan will talk a little about that book as well during this episode. He joins from his home in Wiltshire, UK.

This book goes beyond that solitary hit single to examine all aspects of Zevon's multifaceted, five-decade career, from his beginnings in the slightly psychedelic folk duo Lyme and Cybelle, through to his commercial breakthrough in the late Seventies with ‘Excitable Boy’, his critically acclaimed late Eighties comeback ‘Sentimental Hygiene’, his decline into cult obscurity, and his triumphant if heart-breaking final testament, ‘The Wind’, released just prior to his death in 2003. Along the way the reader will discover one of rock's consummate balladeers, as well as a cast of characters including doomed drug dealers, psychopathic adolescents, outlaws of the Old West, BDSM fetishists, ghostly gunslingers, an unfeasibly large assembly of apes, and, yes, lycanthropes unleashed on the streets of London.

Peter Gallagher is the author of Marc Bolan, Tyrannosaurus Rex, and T. Rex: Every Album, Every Song, a previous volume in Sonicbond's “On Track” series. He is a regular contributor to Shindig! magazine and his fiction has appeared in Writing Magazine and The London Reader. His next book will be “Kiss in the 1970s”, also for Sonicbond, and he is working on a novel set in the Weimar Republic, which he hopes will see publication some time before the cows come home. He lives in Glasgow, Scotland.

Is there an expiration date for rock and roll musicians? The state of rock and roll radio today, the recent rock bio movie craze, streaming services, the Beatles and what we get wrong about the John Lennon and Paul McCartney partnership. Also, Tim has some strong opinions on Bob Dylan’s recent music. All of that before we wrap things up with Tim’s brand-new digital project due out in 2023 that will take writing and reading about rock music to a new level.

Tim Riley reviews pop and classical music for WBUR’s widely syndicated “Here and Now and On Point”, and has written for the New York Times, truthdig, the Los Angeles Review of Books, the Huffington Post, the Washington Post, Slate, Salon, and many other publications. He was trained as a classical pianist at Oberlin College and Eastman School of Music. Since 2009, he has taught digital journalism at Emerson College in Boston.

Brown University hosted Riley as its music critic-in-residence in 2008. His first book, “Tell Me Why: A Beatles Commentary” (Knopf/Vintage 1988), a critique of the Beatles’ music, won praise from Jon Pareles of The New York Times for bringing “New insight to the act we’ve known for all these years.” The book established Riley as an author of rock history critiques. His television appearances include Morning Joe, PBS NewsHour, CBS Morning and Evening News, MTV, and the History Channel.

Goldberg’s book is an incredibly in-depth look into the dark side of San Francisco in the 1970s & 80s, and the dark side of rock ‘n roll in general, through the wild life of one Jimmy Wilsey. Wilsey was the “heart and soul” of the San Francisco punk band the Avengers, and worked with Chris Isaak for over a decade before he crashed and burned. Wilsey’s story is the story of San Francisco punk rock, the story of one of the greatest punk bands, the Avengers, “the story of every working musician,” and the nightmare of drug addiction. It’s the story of the dark side of rock & roll.

“Wicked Game – The True Story of Guitarist James Calvin Wilsey” includes over 100 photos and flyers by avant-garde artist Bruce Conner, Avengers singer/songwriter Penelope Houston, Blondie’s Chris Stein, Ruby Ray, Chester Simpson, Sue Brisk, Marcus Leatherdale, Amy Starks, Michael Zagaris, Hugh Brown, James Stark, Jimmy Wilsey and others.

Author Michael Goldberg is a journalist, novelist, and photographer. He’s been interviewing and photographing musicians since he was seventeen. He was a senior writer at Rolling Stone magazine for a decade. His writing also appeared in Esquire, New Musical Express, Creem, DownBeat, New York Rocker, Trouser Press, Musician, New West, Vibe, New Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, and other publications.

At approximately 7,900 (with over 7,000 appearing in his books), Popoff has unofficially written more record reviews than anybody in the history of music writing across all genres. He’s penned approximately 108 books on hard rock, heavy metal, classic rock, and record collecting. He was Editor-In-Chief of the now retired Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles, Canada’s foremost metal publication for 14 years, and has also contributed to Revolver, Guitar World, Goldmine, Record Collector, bravewords.com, lollipop.com, and hardradio.com, with many record label band bios and liner notes to his credit as well.

Martin has also been a regular contractor to Banger Films, having worked for two years as researcher on the award-winning documentary “Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage”, on the writing and research team for the 11-episode “Metal Evolution” and on the ten-episode “Rock Icons”, both for VH1 Classic. Martin is also the writer of the original metal genre chart used in “Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey” and throughout the “Metal Evolution” episodes. We talk to Martin from his home in Toronto.

The majority of bands that populate this book—the Gories, the Supersuckers, the Dwarves, the Mummies, Rocket from the Crypt, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, and the Muffs among them—gained little long-term reward from their nonstop touring and brain-slapping records. What they did have was free liquor, cheap drugs, chaotic romances, and a crazy good time, all the while building a dedicated fan base that extends across the world. Truly, this is the last great wave of down-and-dirty rock 'n' roll.

Fink examines new information from French media that changes what we know about who was with Bon Scott the night he died, the London drug-dealing connections of the late Alistair Kinnear, a possible heroin link involving the late Yes bassist Chris Squire and revised theories on how Bon died.

With unprecedented access to Bon's lovers and newly unearthed documents, this updated edition contains a new introduction and more revelations about the singer's death, dispelling once and for all the idea that Scott succumbed to acute alcohol poisoning on February 19, 1980.

Meticulously researched and packed with fresh information, “Bon: The Last Highway” is an affectionate, honest tribute to a titan of rock music.

Jesse Fink, born in London in 1973 was raised and educated in Sydney, Australia. He’s author of five books including two internationally bestselling biographies: The aforementioned “Bon: The Last Highway” and “The Youngs: The Brothers Who Built AC/DC”. He was senior editor of non-fiction at HarperCollins Publishers for five years before going on to winning several prestigious sports writing awards as a sports journalist. He’s also written non-fiction biographies including his most recent – “Pure Narco”, the life story of Cuban-American cocaine trafficker Luis Navia and his dramatic arrest in Venezuela by agents of the DEA and United States Customs Service.

With unprecedented access to Bon's lovers and newly unearthed documents, this updated edition contains a new introduction and more revelations about the singer's death, dispelling once and for all the idea that Scott succumbed to acute alcohol poisoning on February 19, 1980.

Meticulously researched and packed with fresh information, “Bon: The Last Highway” is an affectionate, honest tribute to a titan of rock music.

Jesse Fink, born in London in 1973 was raised and educated in Sydney, Australia. He’s author of five books including two internationally bestselling biographies: The aforementioned “Bon: The Last Highway” and “The Youngs: The Brothers Who Built AC/DC”. He was senior editor of non-fiction at HarperCollins Publishers for five years before going on to winning several prestigious sports writing awards as a sports journalist. He’s also written non-fiction biographies including his most recent – “Pure Narco”, the life story of Cuban-American cocaine trafficker Luis Navia and his dramatic arrest in Venezuela by agents of the DEA and United States Customs Service.

Campion's journey into the song includes the insights of experts in the fields of musicology, sociology, philosophy, psychology, and history. Campion also reveals commentary from noted Beatles authors, biographers, music historians, and journalists and, finally, a peek into the craft of songwriting from a host of talented composers across several generations.

“Take a Sad Song” is a tribute to how a song can define, inspire, and affect us in ways we do not always fully comprehend, as well as a celebration of a truly amazing track in the Beatles canon that reveals one band's genius and underscores its lasting voice in our cultural and musical landscape.

James Campion is a syndicated columnist and contributing editor for the pop culture magazine the Aquarian Weekly, where he's reported on and interviewed several and varied musical artists and reviewed concerts and albums for twenty-three years. His long-form music essays are featured in the webzine Dog Door Cultural. His work has also appeared in New York Newsday, North County News, Hackwriters, Huff Post, among other periodicals. He is also the co-host of the popular music podcast Underwater Sunshine with Counting Crows front man, Adam Duritz. The two host an annual music festival in New York City by the same name.

Landy's iconic images of Janis, both on the road and in concert, capture and preserve her pure essence as well as her onstage magnificence. “Photographs of Janis Joplin: On the Road & On Stage” features beautifully reproduced large format images, many never before published.

Janis's own words, taken from recorded interviews by David Dalton, are used as extended captions and paired with photographs to provide insight into the woman behind the legend.

Best known for his classic rock photographs, Elliott Landy was one of the first music photographers to be recognized as an artist. He was an official photographer of the 1969 Woodstock Festival. His photographic works include famous portraits of Dylan, the Band, Janis Joplin, Van Morrison, and Jimi Hendrix.

Published worldwide in books and magazines for fifty years, he’s exhibited in many museums and art institutions and published ten books of his photographs.

Currently he's working on his interactive music video app, other genres of photography books, and guiding Zoom sessions of Sharing Stillness, a pragmatic and simple way of spirituality he has found.

Released in 1994, the album resonated across a generation, combining elements of metal, industrial, synth-pop, and ambient electronica, and going on to sell over four million copies. Now, “Into the Never” explores the creation and cultural impact of ‘The Downward Spiral’, one of the most influential and artistically significant albums of the twentieth century.

Inspired by David Bowie's ‘Low’ and Pink Floyd's ‘The Wall’, the album recounts one man's disintegration as he descends into nihilism and nothingness. Blurring the lines between autobiography and concept album, creation and decay, it’s also the story of Trent Reznor as he pushed himself to the edge of the abyss, trapped in a cycle of addiction and self-destruction. “The Downward Spiral” also presents a reflection of America and a wider culture of violence, connecting the Columbine High School shooting, the infamous Manson family murders, and the aftermath of Vietnam and the Gulf War.

Featuring new interviews with collaborators and artists inspired by the album, “Into the Never” sets ‘The Downward Spiral’ in the context of music of the era and brings the story up to date, from Reznor's recovery to his reinvention as an Oscar-winning soundtrack artist.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/49385423Thu, 14 Apr 2022 21:33:29 +0000Eric SenichUshering in a new era of confessional music that spoke openly about experiences of trauma, depression, and self-loathing, Nine Inch Nails' seminal album, 1994’s ‘The Downward Spiral’, changed popular music forever—bringing transgressive themes of...
Released in 1994, the album resonated across a generation, combining elements of metal, industrial, synth-pop, and ambient electronica, and going on to sell over four million copies. Now, “Into the Never” explores the creation and cultural impact of ‘The Downward Spiral’, one of the most influential and artistically significant albums of the twentieth century.

Inspired by David Bowie's ‘Low’ and Pink Floyd's ‘The Wall’, the album recounts one man's disintegration as he descends into nihilism and nothingness. Blurring the lines between autobiography and concept album, creation and decay, it’s also the story of Trent Reznor as he pushed himself to the edge of the abyss, trapped in a cycle of addiction and self-destruction. “The Downward Spiral” also presents a reflection of America and a wider culture of violence, connecting the Columbine High School shooting, the infamous Manson family murders, and the aftermath of Vietnam and the Gulf War.

Featuring new interviews with collaborators and artists inspired by the album, “Into the Never” sets ‘The Downward Spiral’ in the context of music of the era and brings the story up to date, from Reznor's recovery to his reinvention as an Oscar-winning soundtrack artist.

Adam Steiner studied philosophy at the University of Aberdeen and writes about music, street-art culture, architecture, and transgressive fiction. He released his first novel in 2018 titled “Politics of the Asylum”.

Never quite attaining the sales and success of some of their rivals at the time, Uriah Heep nevertheless released some of the most extraordinary music of the decade – and "Uriah Heep in the 1970s" takes you through it all.

Travel back to the 1950s to uncover “Who Really Discovered Elvis Presley?” Revisit a time in the 1960s when a famous folk troubadour tried to form a supergroup with members of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Learn the origin behind big name artists using pseudonyms to mask their true identities. Go behind the scenes of CIA intrigue in Jamaica 1976 to discover whether the spy agency tried to influence an election and arrange for the assassination of reggae superstar Bob Marley. Discover whether The Beach Boys actually stole a song and the copyright from psychotic cult leader Charles Manson, and kept all of the royalties. Finally, uncover the secrets in the making of Nirvana’s 'Nevermind' album, considered by many to be the most influential rock album of the 1990s.

These mysteries have intrigued rock and roll fans for so long because no one has ever asked eyewitnesses the tough questions or dug through the primary sources and documentary evidence left behind... until now. After many decades, the back stories of pop and rock music lore are finally unearthed—and the truth is revealed in "Mysteries in Music: Case Closed".

Ranging from household names to obscure cult heroes and heroines, “Electric Wizards” demonstrates how each successive phase of heavy music was forged by what came before, outlining a rich and eclectic lineage that extends far beyond the usual boundaries of heavy rock or heavy metal. It extols those who did things differently, who introduced something fresh and exciting into this elemental tradition, whether by design, accident, or sheer chance. In doing so, “Electric Wizards” weaves an entirely new tapestry of heavy music.

J.R. Moores is the resident psych-rock columnist for both the Quietus and Record Collector, and his work has also appeared in the Wire, Guardian, Bandcamp Daily, and Vice. He joins us from his home in York, England.

The experience augmented Craig's passion for music and prepared him for future business ventures. He rose to the executive level in the early video rental industry. He competed neck-to-neck with Blockbuster and led growth for the regional grocery chain H-E-B, continuing to apply his skills towards building value in subsequent competitive business arenas until his retirement.

Not one to shy away from a new endeavor, Craig dove into writing. In two and a half years, he published the steamy adventure trilogy, the “Black Widow Trainer”. Throughout the many stages of his career, he maintained interest in popular music and film. Three decades of avidly collecting music and watching movies provided a wellspring of inspiration for Craig and he’s chronicled it all in “Craig's Record Factory: A Young Entrepreneur's Journey Through the 70's and 80's”.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/48957653Thu, 10 Mar 2022 22:01:26 +0000Eric SenichCraig Odanovich grew up in Flour Bluff, Texas. In an era before Dairy Queen officially expanded their menu beyond dessert, he learned entrepreneurial principles working for the family-owned franchise. Later as a young music entrepreneur, he launched a...
The experience augmented Craig's passion for music and prepared him for future business ventures. He rose to the executive level in the early video rental industry. He competed neck-to-neck with Blockbuster and led growth for the regional grocery chain H-E-B, continuing to apply his skills towards building value in subsequent competitive business arenas until his retirement.

Not one to shy away from a new endeavor, Craig dove into writing. In two and a half years, he published the steamy adventure trilogy, the “Black Widow Trainer”. Throughout the many stages of his career, he maintained interest in popular music and film. Three decades of avidly collecting music and watching movies provided a wellspring of inspiration for Craig and he’s chronicled it all in “Craig's Record Factory: A Young Entrepreneur's Journey Through the 70's and 80's”.

In 2021, an updated and expanded edition of “Beyond and Before” was released. The 10-year anniversary revised edition continues to further unpack definitions of progressive rock and includes a brand-new chapter focusing on post-conceptual trends in the 2010s through to the contemporary moment. The new edition discusses the complex creativity of progressive metal and folk in greater depth, as well as new fusions of genre that move across global cultures and that rework the extended form and mission of progressive rock, including in recent pop concept albums. Every chapter is revised to keep the process of rethinking progressive rock alive and vibrant as a hybrid, open form.

Paul Hegarty is Professor of French and Francophone Studies at the University of Nottingham, UK. He’s the author and editor of 11 books that span critical and cultural theory, rock, experimental and noise music, as well as audiovisual art including 2007’s “Noise/Music”, 2014’s “Rumour and Radiation” and 2020’s “Annihilating Noise” all published by Bloomsbury Academic. He’s also Co-editor of Bloomsbury's Ex:Centrics series.

Martin Halliwell is Professor of American Studies at the University of Leicester, UK. He’s the author and editor of 14 books that span intellectual, cultural and literary history and the health humanities, including 2015’s Neil Young: American Traveler, 2018’s Reframing 1968 and 2021’s American Health Crisis.

From the moment their hugely influential 1978 debut landed, Van Halen set a high bar for the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, creating an entirely new style of post-'60s hard rock becoming the quintessential Californian band of the 1980s. But there was also an undercurrent of tragedy to their story, as Eddie's struggles played out in public, from his difficult relationship with the band's original singer, Dave Lee Roth, to the band's substance abuse problems, and from the break-up of his marriage to Valerie Bertinelli to his long-running battle with cancer.

With unique insights, Paul Brannigan's “Eruption” reaches beyond the boundaries of a conventional rock biography to explore the cultural, political, and social contexts that shaped an icon while turning up the volume on a life lived in the fast lane.

Paul Brannigan is a contributor to Rolling Stone, Classic Rock, Q, and Metal Hammer magazines. He’s also the author of the acclaimed book “This Is a Call: The Life and Times of Dave Grohl”.

Co is renowned as an expert on Zappa’s music, but this book is about far more than that, and is unlike any other collection of interviews. As his son Dweezil writes in his foreword, Frank was a reluctant and sometimes combative interviewee, yet his conversations with Co were open and wide-ranging.

Through more than two decades of these discussions, Frank & Co reveals a thoughtful, sensitive, and expansive Zappa, offering readers new insights into the life and career of one of the great masters of twentieth-century American music. It also includes Co’s favorite memories of Frank, as well as interviews with Zappa alumni Flo & Eddie, Jimmy Carl Black, Pamela Zarubica, and Don van Vliet, aka Captain Beefheart.

He was a promo man. Kelly Jay of Crowbar referred to the Canadian music industry of the era as a matter of ‘six degrees of Nick Panaseiko’. Taking off from a popular Panasonic ad campaign of the day, legendary rocker Ronnie Hawkins dubbed him, “Nick Panaseiko, a man slightly ahead of his time”. And at his induction into the Jack Richardson Hall of Fame, Alice Cooper, Ronnie Hawkins and Peter Criss of KISS all sent video tributes.

“Promo Man” places Nick in the zeitgeist of the music industry in the 60s and 70s and his work with the acts who were - and in some cases still are - the aural soundtrack to our lives. How Nick made his way to the epicenter of the Canadian music industry and made his way out alive is the story of “Promo Man”. It takes the reader from the 17-year-old kid who booked The Supremes to a sold-out show through his success breaking KISS in Canada to his time with Quality Records and WEA in the 70s.

While Nick’s metier was promoting acts, his other duties as assigned including finding Freddie Mercury and Liberace Toronto gay bars, playing board games with young Marlon Richards, finding cocaine for his father, Keith and Ronnie Wood, having to deal with a racist Bill Cosby, being the de-facto minder for Keith Moon at a party and being an extra in a Van Halen video.

This book truly lives in his tales of a breakneck lifestyle, working with and promoting acts including Queen, Liberace, The Cars, Van Halen, and finally The Rolling Stones. This is an insider’s look at the freewheeling times of the Canadian music industry as it came into being, told by the consummate insider. Key to the book are the many photographs by acclaimed rock and roll photographer John Rowlands of Nick with artists including Debbie Harry, Donna Summer, KISS, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Johnny Cash, Liberace, Keith Moon, and Freddie Mercury. The fast pace of the narrative coupled with the photos brings to life a much-mythologized time in popular music.

To tell Nick Panaseiko’s story is author Bob Klanac, a Canadian music journalist who has penned hundreds of reviews and interviews. Among them: Levon Helm, John Mayer, Garth Hudson, Bill Wyman, Chris Cornell, Johnny Winters and many, many more. He was a juror for the Polaris Music Prize and is currently a member of the Slaight Family Polaris Heritage Prize Jury and a Juno Awards juror.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)]]>4124aerosmith,boston,joeperry,juliangill,steventylerfalsefull"1970: A Year In Rock "/John Van der Kiste [Episode 46]https://www.spreaker.com/episode/1970-a-year-in-rock-john-van-der-kiste-episode-46--48404564
There were live albums, notably from The Rolling Stones and The Who, made partly to combat the market in bootleg recordings. Meanwhile, several singer-songwriters like James Taylor found major acceptance and the death of Jimi Hendrix was widely mourned. The likes of Van Morrison, Elton John, Deep Purple, and Lindisfarne achieved their initial successes. Groups such as Led Zeppelin and Jethro Tull consolidated early success while developing in new directions.

By the end of the year, many a critic and music fan could look back on a twelve-month period in which their landscape had altered almost beyond recognition. This is the story of 1970 and the twenty-five key rock albums that helped define it.

John Van der Kiste has published over seventy books, mostly historical biography and music, including titles on The Beatles, Jeff Lynne/ELO, Led Zeppelin, Lindisfarne and Steve Winwood. He has also reviewed books and records for the local and national press and fanzines and co-founded and edited the 70s fanzine Keep on Rockin’. He has performed with groups, run mobile discos, and written booklet notes for CD reissues from EMI and other labels. An occasional musician and songwriter, he also co-wrote one track on Riff Regan's Milestones (2015) and played harmonica on London's The Hell for Leather Mob (2020).

The Booked On Rock “Latest Books On Rock Releases” Song: “Slippery Rocks” by Crowander (www.crowander.com)]]>27641970,badfinger,blacksabbath,creedenclearwaterrevival,crosbystillsnashandyoung,deeppurple,emersonlakeandpalmer,fleetwoodmac,georgeharrison,jefflynne,jethrotull,ledzeppelin,neilyoung,simonandgarfunkel,thebeatles,thekinks,thewhofalsefull"Paint My Name in Black and Gold: The Rise of the Sisters of Mercy"/Mark Andrews [Episode 45]https://www.spreaker.com/episode/paint-my-name-in-black-and-gold-the-rise-of-the-sisters-of-mercy-mark-andrews-episode-45--48323191
“Paint My Name in Black and Gold” tells the story of their rise – how against the odds and all reasonable expectation they came to make transcendent and life-changing music. It is also about the glorious stupidity of being in a Leeds rock band in the early 80s. There’s a lot of dry ice, blood, vomit, speed and sex in the toilets. There are tales involving a milk float, a VHS cassette of a Michael Caine film, a hibernating snake, a wardrobe in a tree, an amyl nitrate-soaked effects pedal and the inopportune consumption of Dutch hash cake.

The Sisters began in 1980, meandered through two years of intermittent gigging, iffy recordings and sundry line-up changes without much attention being paid to them before finding their two classic line-ups: Eldritch on vocals, Adams on bass, Gary Marx and Ben Gunn – and later Wayne Hussey – on guitars, and a drum machine called Doktor Avalanche.

By force of will and their own peculiar talents – and with the support of friends and the kindness of strangers – these young men achieved greatness. Hussey and Adams – The Evil Children, as they termed themselves – were hard living road dogs with fascinating musical back-stories. Neither Gunn nor Marx were natural rock’n’roll animals, but the latter performed with such abandon – often in such lurid shirts – that it was hard to believe he also wrote The Sisters’ most delicate and beautiful music. Lead singer Andrew Eldritch was the most peculiar and compelling of them all, a singular and mesmerizing amalgam of T. S. Eliot and David Bowie. In the five years covered in this book, Eldritch staked a powerful claim to be the greatest rock star of his generation.

Paint My Name in Black and Gold covers the band’s rise until the release of their iconic first album.

Mark Andrews is a journalist from the UK now living in Belgium. The first musician he ever interviewed was Lemmy – for the Folkestone Gazette in October 2003. Most recently, he has interviewed Jon Spencer, Boss Hog, Mudhoney and The Scientists. He has written for the Middle East Times, Egypt Magazine, LeftLion, Flanders Today, The Quietus and Louder. This book grew out of two acclaimed articles he wrote about the Sisters of Mercy for The Quietus.

With most authors concentrating on the group’s 1970s career, “Yes in the 1980s” looks in forensic detail at this relatively underexamined era of the band’s history, featuring rarely-seen photos researched by author David Watkinson. The book follows the careers of all nine significant members of the group during a turbulent decade which saw huge highs but also many lows. Not only does it consider the three albums the band itself made across the decade, but also the solo careers and other groups – including Asia, XYZ, The Buggles, Jon and Vangelis and GTR - formed by those musicians as the decade wound towards a reunion of sorts in the early 1990s.

Stephen Lambe is an author, festival promoter and the director and founder of Sonicbond Publishing. His ten books include the best-selling “Citizens Of Hope And Glory – The Story Of Progressive Rock” and “Yes On Track: Every Album, Every Song”. David Watkinson is an author and collector, with a specific interest in Yes. His books include “Yes – Perpetual Change” and “Jon Anderson And The Warriors – The Road To Yes”.

Justin Quirk is an award-winning writer, editor and broadcaster from London. He first wrote for the Guardian’s music pages when he was nineteen and began contributing to Kerrang! shortly afterwards as a reviewer. Since then he has written for everyone from Arena and Esquire to The Times, Sunday Times and the Independent about art, music and culture, regularly appears on the BBC World Service and Soho Radio, and DJs at places such as Spiritland and Merchant’s Tavern in London.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)

The Booked On Rock “Latest Books On Rock Releases” Song: “Slippery Rocks” by Crowander (www.crowander.com)]]>657780s,bonjovi,defleppard,dokken,glammetal,gunsnroses,kiss,motleycrue,ozzyosbourne,poison,quietriot,ratt,skidrow,slade,vanhalen,warrant,whitelion,whitesnakefalsefull"Where Did You Get That Shirt?"/Bill Zygmant & David Bedford [Episode 41]https://www.spreaker.com/episode/where-did-you-get-that-shirt-bill-zygmant-david-bedford-episode-41--48004676author David Bedford have released a new book entitled “Where Did You Get That Shirt?”, featuring three decades’ worth of Zygmant’s film and rock photos.

Zygmant’s Beatles photos are considered so important that the Hard Day’s Night Hotel in Liverpool displays them within a suite named after him. This brand-new book, designed by artist Paul Skellett, contains over 200 original photos taken by Zygmant – including 60 of the Beatles (as well as John Lennon and Yoko Ono) plus the first photos of Jimi Hendrix with The Experience in London – and many that have never been published before. Also included are shots of music legends such as the Rolling Stones, the Bee Gees, Mary Hopkin, Marc Bolan, Suzi Quatro, Madness, Bananarama and more.

Bill Zygmant’s passion for photography started at an early age seeing press photographers on newsreels photographing film stars. He began his career at the London Star before going on to work at the News Chronicle in Fleet Street - first on the picture desk and then in the darkroom.

In 1966 Bill went freelance, photographing music and show business stars with his work being regularly published in the Musical Express, Billboard, Picture Post as well as british national newspapers and magazines. He has since worked as picture editor and a lecturer on film and television production.

David Bedford trained as a biologist and was a scientific researcher until his love of reading, then writing, set him along the path to becoming an author. David has had 85 books traditionally published, which have been translated worldwide in 35 languages. They include the much-loved bestselling picture-book Big Bear Little Bear, and The Team series of football fiction for juniors. He has taught creativity, literacy and author techniques in schools around the world for ten years, and now combines his writing and teaching in his new personal publishing venture, ME & YOU BOOKS – where readers write.

With humor and empathy, Mike Errico unravels both the mystery of songwriting and the logistics of life as a songwriter. For years, this set of tools, prompts, and ideas has inspired students on campuses including Yale, Wesleyan, Berklee, Oberlin, and NYU's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music.

Alongside his own lessons, Errico interviews the writers, producers, and A&R executives behind today's biggest hits and investigates the larger questions of creativity through lively conversations with a wide range of innovative thinkers: astrophysicist Janna Levin explains the importance of repetition, both in choruses and in the exploration of the universe; renowned painter John Currin praises the constraints of form, whether it's within a right-angled canvas or a three-minute pop song; bestselling author George Saunders unpacks the hidden benefit of writing, and revising, authentically; and much more. The result is that “Music, Lyrics, and Life” ends up revealing as much about the art of songwriting as it does about who we are, and where we may be going.

This is a book for songwriters, future content creators, music lovers, and anyone who wants to understand how popular art forms are able to touch us so deeply. Mike Errico has honed these lessons over years of writing, performing, teaching, and mentoring, and no matter where you are on your songwriting journey, “Music, Lyrics, and Life” will help you build a creative world that's both intrinsic to who you are, and undeniable to whoever is listening.

New York-based recording artist, writer, and lecturing professor Mike Errico has built his name on the strength of critically acclaimed releases and extensive composition for film and TV. He teaches songwriting at universities including Yale, Wesleyan, the New School, and NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. In addition to his performing and teaching careers, Errico’s opinions and insights have appeared in publications including The New York Times, CNN, the Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, and The Observer.

Originally conceived as 'The Two Americas', 'The Joshua Tree' was U2's critique of America. Rather than living up to the ideal that the country was "an idea that belongs to people who need it most," the band found that America sacrificed equality and justice for populism and fascism. This book explores the political, social, and cultural themes rooted in The Joshua Tree when it was originally released in 1987 and how those themes resonated as a response to the election of Donald Trump when U2 toured for the album's 30th anniversary.

Morgan juxtaposes the band's existential journey through America with his own journey connecting with his Irish roots by becoming a citizen in the age of Trump and places U2's and 'The Joshua Tree''s relevance in context with the current political climate.

Bradley Morgan is a media arts professional in Chicago. He manages partnerships on behalf of CHIRP Radio 107.1 FM, serves as a co-chair of the associate board at the Gene Siskel Film Center of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and volunteers in the music archive at the Old Town School of Folk Music.

“The Doors: Every Album Every Song” dusts off the vinyl and puts on the headphones for a sustained reappraisal of the band’s musical career. Hidden gems, deep cuts, overrated top ten hits and an enigmatic series of album closers are all subjected to late night interrogations. Let’s head to Venice Beach circa 1965, pick up a Fender bass organ on the way, take a face from the ancient gallery and walk on down the hall…

Tony Thompson is a Canadian writer based in Melbourne, Australia. He is the author of “Summer of Monsters”, a novel about Mary Shelley’s early life, and “Shakespeare: The Most Famous Man in London”. His articles on books, music, and education have appeared in The Age, The Australian, The Daily Review Australia, toppermost.co.uk, and Eureka St. He’s been a regular guest at the Melbourne Writers Festival and other literary events throughout Australia.

With many interviews widely available for the first time—including new transcriptions and first-time translations into English—the book spans Young's words and ideas from 1967 onward: his early days with Buffalo Springfield and 1970s Harvest-fueled celebrity apex, an artistic rebellion and 1980s commercial dip, and the unexpected 1990s revival as the "Godfather of Grunge" through to his multi-decade victory lap as a living legend.

Across the decades, Young's own words tell the story as he perpetually reinvents himself as a master of music and film, a technology pioneer and innovator, and a bold political observer and strident environmental advocate.

But there was a dark flip side to the fun fun fun of the music, a nexus between naïve young musicians and the hangers-on who exploited the decade's peace, love, and flowers ethos, all fueled by sex, drugs, and overnight success. One surf music superstar unwittingly subsidized the kidnapping of Frank Sinatra Jr. The transplanted Texas singer Bobby Fuller might have been murdered by the Mob in what is still an unsolved case. And after hearing Charlie Manson sing, Neil Young recommended him to the president of Warner Bros. Records. Manson's ultimate rejection by the music industry likely led to the infamous murders that shocked a nation.

"Everybody Had an Ocean" chronicles the migration of the rock 'n' roll business to Southern California and how the artists flourished there. The cast of characters is astonishing—Brian and Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, eccentric producer Phil Spector, Cass Elliot, Sam Cooke, Ike and Tina Turner, Joni Mitchell, and scores of others—and their stories form a modern epic of the battles between innocence and cynicism, joy and terror. You'll never hear that beautiful music in quite the same way.

William McKeen is the author of nine books and the editor of four more. He teaches at Boston University, where he chairs the Department of Journalism and serves as associate dean of the College of Communication.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/47568023Sat, 20 Nov 2021 03:46:25 +0000Eric SenichLos Angeles in the 1960s gave the world some of the greatest music in rock 'n' roll history: "California Dreamin'" by the Mamas and the Papas, "Mr. Tambourine Man" by the Byrds, and "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys, a song that magnificently...
But there was a dark flip side to the fun fun fun of the music, a nexus between naïve young musicians and the hangers-on who exploited the decade's peace, love, and flowers ethos, all fueled by sex, drugs, and overnight success. One surf music superstar unwittingly subsidized the kidnapping of Frank Sinatra Jr. The transplanted Texas singer Bobby Fuller might have been murdered by the Mob in what is still an unsolved case. And after hearing Charlie Manson sing, Neil Young recommended him to the president of Warner Bros. Records. Manson's ultimate rejection by the music industry likely led to the infamous murders that shocked a nation.

"Everybody Had an Ocean" chronicles the migration of the rock 'n' roll business to Southern California and how the artists flourished there. The cast of characters is astonishing—Brian and Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, eccentric producer Phil Spector, Cass Elliot, Sam Cooke, Ike and Tina Turner, Joni Mitchell, and scores of others—and their stories form a modern epic of the battles between innocence and cynicism, joy and terror. You'll never hear that beautiful music in quite the same way.

William McKeen is the author of nine books and the editor of four more. He teaches at Boston University, where he chairs the Department of Journalism and serves as associate dean of the College of Communication. He teaches literary journalism, history of journalism, reporting, feature writing and history of rock’n’roll. He's worked for several newspapers and magazines, including The Saturday Evening Post, The American Spectator, The Courier-Journal in Louisville, Kentucky, The Palm Beach Post in Florida and The St. Petersburg Times in Florida.

Drawing from unprecedented access to Jimi’s brother, Leon Hendrix, who provides disturbing details about their childhood, as well as Kathy Etchingham and Linda Keith, the two women who played vital roles in Jimi’s rise to stardom, Norman traces Jimi’s life from playing in clubs on the segregated Chitlin’ Circuit, where he encountered daily racism, to barely surviving in New York’s Greenwich Village, where was taken up by the Animals’ bass player Chas Chandler in 1966 and exported to Swinging London and international stardom.

For four staggering years, from 1966 to 1970, Jimi totally rewrote the rules of rock stardom, notably at Monterey and Woodstock (where he played his protest-infused rendition of the “Star-Spangled Banner”), while becoming the highest-paid musician of his day. But it all abruptly ended in the shabby basement of a London hotel with Jimi’s too-early death. With remarkable detail, Wild Thing finally reveals the truth behind this long-shrouded tragedy.

Norman’s exhaustive research reveals a young man who was as shy and polite in private as he was outrageous in public, whose insecurity about his singing voice could never be allayed by his instrumental genius, and whose unavailing efforts to please his father left him searching for the family he felt he never truly had. Filled with insights into the greatest moments in rock history, Wild Thing is a mesmerizing account of music’s most enduring and endearing figures.

Philip Norman is the best-selling biographer of Eric Clapton, Buddy Holly, the Rolling Stones, John Lennon, Elton John, Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, and Jimi Hendrix. A novelist and a playwright, he lives in London.

Alex and Edward Van Halen, Michael Anthony, and David Lee Roth put a cap on one decade and exploded into the next with a brand of music not quite punk, not quite metal, and not at all subtle. They went from headlining backyard keggers to top billing at the US Festival in front of three hundred thousand people within five years. Then, right when it looked like there wasn't an obstacle created to slow the Mighty Van Halen ascent, the group imploded from the inside out, only to rebound stronger than ever with ex-Montrose howler Sammy Hagar leading them to four consecutive number one albums.

"Van Halen: The Eruption and the Aftershock" tells the story of how one of America's greatest bands weathered arguably the most dramatic soap opera in rock and roll history with songs that would weave themselves into the fabric of every musician who heard them, alongside an incendiary and unrivaled live show. Featuring exclusive interviews with insiders, fans, and artists who were there to witness the rise, the tumult, and the making of legends, it's a story that has to be read to be believed.

Michael Christopher is a journalist and music historian. He is the author of "Depeche Mode: All That's Left to Know About the World's Finest Synth-Pop Band". A senior writer for the online music magazine Vanyaland, where he was a founding member and later managing editor, he contributes regularly to Ultimate Classic Rock, Loudwire, and LA Weekly. He also has a music and lifestyle column in the Daily Times, a newspaper in the Philadelphia metro region. His work has appeared in the Boston Phoenix, Boston Magazine, Rockpile, and Diffuser. He lives in Boston, building a respectable vinyl collection.

Experience true stories of rock star ghosts while enjoying trivia and insights from renowned ghost hunters and researchers. Whether they’re making demonic deals for fame or being chased into the afterlife under mysterious circumstances, rockers have followed the same motto: live fast, die young, and leave a restless spirit.


"More Haunted Rock & Roll: More Tales of Guitar Hero Ghosts, Rock Star Curses and Musical Mysteries" - "More Haunted Rock & Roll, the sequel to Haunted Rock & Roll", adds more ghost stories, creepy occult legends, and rock star UFO encounters to the extensive paranormal lore of Rock & Roll.

Some of the ghost stories and ghost lore you’ll encounter in "More Haunted Rock & Roll" include: Did the ghost of John Lennon return to give his family messages of peace and love? Jim Morrison got kicked out of Barney’s Beanery for public urination, but he may be back on the guest list. Or is that the ghost list? Was AC/DC’s charismatic first lead singer Bon Scott behind the supernatural coaching session that bolstered the spirits of Brian Johnson, his replacement?

Were the members of the Moody Blues subjects of rock’s first alien abduction? You may have heard of the Curse of the 27 Club. Get ready for the Grunge Singer Jinx. Kids in Satan’s Service? Backmasking messages? How about positive affirmations and creative visualization? It turns out that rock has a positive occult side too. Are you ready to revisit the crossroads? You’ll get a chance to read about these encounters and a bunch more. The book features over 30 chapters brimming with more stories about rock star ghosts, more rock star paranormal encounters, more haunted rock places, and more rock curses and mysteries.

Myers combines the tales of icons like Joan Baez, Ian Anderson, Alice Cooper, Steve Miller, Roger Waters, and Angus Young with figures such as the disc jockeys who first began playing rock on the radio, like Alan Freed in Cleveland and New York; the audio engineers that developed new technologies to accommodate ever-growing rock audiences; music journalists, like Rolling Stone's Cameron Crowe; and the promoters who organized it all, like Michael Lang, co-founder of Woodstock, to create a rounded and vivid account of live rock's stratospheric rise.

"Rock Concert" provides a fascinating, immediate look at the evolution of rock 'n' roll through the lens of live performances —spanning from the rise of R&B in the 1950s, through the hippie gatherings of the '60s, to the growing arena tours of the '70s and '80s. Elvis Presley's gyrating hips, the British Invasion that brought the Beatles in the '60s, the Grateful Dead's free flowing jams, and Pink Floyd's The Wall are just a few of the defining musical acts that drive this rich narrative. Featuring dozens of key players in the history of rock and filled with colorful anecdotes, Rock Concert will speak to anyone who has experienced the transcendence of live rock.

Marc Myers is a frequent contributor to the Wall Street Journal, where he writes about music and the arts. He is the author of the critically acclaimed books Anatomy of a Song and Why Jazz Happened, and posts daily at JazzWax.com, a three-time winner of the Jazz Journalists Association’s award for Jazz Blog of the Year.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)]]>2474jimmypage,johnbonham,ledzeppelinfalsefull"Southern Man: Music and Mayhem in the American South"/Alan Walden [Episode 29]https://www.spreaker.com/episode/southern-man-music-and-mayhem-in-the-american-south-alan-walden-episode-29--46982089
Anyone who was alive during the golden age of R&B and Southern rock remembers the music, but Alan’s narrative invites the reader to the center of the story, into the studio and on the road, to backroom deals and backroom brawls. It wasn’t always peaches and cream. The music business is tough, and Alan Walden was one of the toughest kids on the street. He had to be, in order to survive in a world of guitars, guts, and guns. This is rock’n’roll noir—the story of a few pioneers who cut the rock and laid the pipe under the hard scrabble terrain so that the water of creativity can more freely flow today.

Alan Walden helped to forge, along with his brother Phil and best friend Otis Redding, the foundation of a musical renaissance that emerged from the American South. As a manager, publisher, promoter, and producer, Alan helped to bring scores of artists into the world's consciousness—from R&B to Southern rock, from Percy Sledge to Lynyrd Skynyrd. Alan is an inductee into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame and is the recipient of numerous gold and platinum records. He was recently honored by having a rehearsal room named after him at the newly restored Capricorn Studios. Alan currently resides on his ranch close to his beloved Macon, Georgia, with his wife Tosha, and continues to advise and encourage young people going into the music business.

S.E. Feinberg grew up in Boston and was trained at the American Center for the Performing and Creative Arts, at Boston Center for the Arts, where he began a life of writing, directing, and producing plays. His play "The Happy Worker" was first produced at Actors Theatre of Louisville, later touring through Eastern Europe. His screenplay of "The Happy Worker", executive produced by David Lynch, directed by Duwayne Dunham, and starring Thomas Haden Church and Josh Whitehouse, is now in postproduction. Steve is the co-author of "What’s Exactly The Matter With Me?", the memoir of P.F. Sloan, one of the most mysterious and elusive composers in the history of rock’n’roll. He recently completed "The Last Yiddish Pachuco", a musical comedy about the last Yiddish theatre in the Boyle Heights district of East Los Angeles.

In 1974, his 'comeback’ album, ‘461 Ocean Boulevard’, returned him to the top three in both the UK and America. Always a strong concert draw, Clapton has released another sixteen top twenty albums since. Even ‘Layla’ returned to the charts in 1982.

“Eric Clapton Solo: Every Album, Every Song” reviews and analyses all of Clapton’s studio albums since 1974, as well as successful collaborations with BB King and JJ Cale. It’s been a long, varied journey: the laid-back rocker of the 1970s; the commercial sheen of the 1980s; the polished, acoustic yuppie music and hard blues of the 1990s; the slick R & B stylings of the 2000s and the roots homages of the 2010s. All of this was underpinned by the skill and talent of Britain’s greatest blues guitarist and a hugely underrated vocalist.

Andrew Wild is an experienced writer, music collector and film buff with many books to his name including recent publications about Queen, Pink Floyd and Dire Straits. His comprehensive study of every song recorded and performed by the Beatles between 1957 and 1970 was published by Sonicbond in 2019.

"Shades of Life Part 1" follows The Beatles through the first half of 1965, including the making of the "Help!" movie and soundtrack, their European Tour, The Beatles' MBE nomination and the first fissure in The Beatles unity as Paul McCartney records his solo song, "Yesterday." The year would also see John Lennon publishing his second book of poetry and prose - "A Spaniard in the Works", and struggling with staid, married life in the stockbroker belt.

Kessler’s John Lennon Series takes readers chronologically through his life. The first four volumes - "Shoulda Been There", "Shivering Inside", "She Loves You" and "Should Have Known Better". With a personal library of over 500 Beatles-related books and multi-media resources, Kessler undertook seven trips to Liverpool, England to interview Lennon’s childhood friends, early band members, art college mates, and business associates before embarking on writing the series, which is told in a narrative history format and heavily documented.

Kessler completed high school in three years and when “she was just seventeen,” she went on to Northwestern State University, Louisana, where she earned two degrees (English and history) in three years. She immediately won a graduate assistantship to The University of Maryland in 1974 and received her master’s degree in English in 1976. She’s taught on the junior high and high school levels and was an English instructor at The University of Maryland and Troy State University, Alabama. Kessler also has a paralegal degree in Law Research.

In 1986, Kessler began her research into The John Lennon Series, a 9-volume work on the life of John Lennon. Establishing a reputation as the leading Lennon expert, Kessler began speaking to organizations across the United States writing for the Kansas City Beatlefan magazine. She’s interviewed U.S.-residing Beatles figures such as May Pang, George Harrison’s sister, Louise; reporter Larry Kane, Angie and Ruth McCartney, and journalist Ivor Davis.

Kesller hosts “The John Lennon Hour” on BeatlesARama Radio and BlogTalk Radio, and she’s been featured on BBC’s “Up All Night,” Rod Quinn’s ABC Radio “Up All Night” from Australia, May Pang & Cynthia Neilsen’s “Dinner Specials” among many other radio and personal appearances. She currently co-hosts the Podcast "She Said, She Said," with author Lanea Stagg.

Over the course of more than four decades, Eddie gained renown for his innovative guitar playing, and particularly for popularizing the tapping guitar solo technique. Unfortunately for Eddie and his legions of fans, he died before he was ever able to put his life down to paper in his own words, and much of his compelling backstory has remained elusive—until now.

In "Eruption: Conversations with Eddie Van Halen", music journalists Brad Tolinski and Chris Gill share with fans, new and old alike, a candid, compulsively readable, and definitive oral history of the most influential rock guitarist since Jimi Hendrix. It is based on more than 50 hours of unreleased interviews they recorded with Eddie over the years, most of them conducted at the legendary 5150 studios at Eddie’s home in Los Angeles. The heart of "Eruption" is drawn from these intimate and wide-ranging talks, as well as conversations with family, friends, and colleagues.

In addition to discussing his greatest triumphs as a groundbreaking musician, the book also takes an unflinching look at Eddie’s early struggles as a young Dutch immigrant unable to speak the English language, which resulted in lifelong issues with social anxiety and substance abuse. "Eruption"also examines his brilliance as an inventor who changed the face of guitar manufacturing.

As entertaining as it is revealing, "Eruption: Conversations with Eddie Van Halen" is the closest readers will ever get to hearing his side of the story when it comes to his extraordinary life.

Brad Tolinski was the Editor-in-Chief of Guitar World magazine, the best-selling magazine for musicians in the world, for over 25 years. He is also the author of "Light & Shade: Conversations with Jimmy Page" and "Play it Loud: An Epic History of the Style", "Sound and Revolution of the Electric Guitar", which was the inspiration for the Play It Loud exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2019. He lives in New York.

Chris Gill was the Editor-in-Chief of Guitar Aficionado magazine and a regular contributor to Guitar World magazine. He is also the author of "Guitar Legends: The Definitive Guide to the World’s Greatest Guitar Players", and he contributed extensive guitar background and historical text to "Eric Clapton’s Six String Stories" and "Jeff Beck’s Beck 01: Hot Rods and Rock & Roll".

Fighting complacency, provoking thought, and often enraging critics, Rush has been at war with the music industry since 1974, when they were first dismissed as the Led Zeppelin of the north. "Anthem", like each volume in this series, celebrates the perseverance of Geddy, Alex, and Neil: three men who maintained their values while operating from a Canadian base, throughout lean years, personal tragedies, and the band’s eventual worldwide success.

Martin Popoff has written close to 100 books on hard rock, heavy metal, classic rock and record collecting. He was Editor in Chief of the now retired Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles, Canada’s foremost heavy metal publication in print for fourteen years, and has also contributed to Revolver, Guitar World, Goldmine, Record Collector, bravewords.com, lollipop.com and hardradio.com. Martin has been a regular contractor to Banger Films, having worked on the award-winning documentary "Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage", the eleven-episode "Metal Evolution", and the ten-episode "Rock Icons", both for VH1 Classic. Martin currently resides in Toronto and can be reached through martinp@inforamp.net or martinpopoff.com.

PROGRAMMING NOTE: This interview was originally recorded around January of 2020 for my previous podcast DISCovery, this was shortly after the passing of Rush drummer Neal Peart.

With over 125 million records sold worldwide, Metallica is the biggest metal band of all time. Four decades into their unparalleled career, Metallica is a massive cultural force who drastically changed the sound of popular music by creating their own rules. Yet for all their popularity, Metallica can seem impenetrable, raising more questions and inspiring more discourse as their mythos grows.

Metallica questions run deeper than what people find on the internet. Metallica questions deserve a book. "Metallica: The $24.95 Book" by dedicated fan and music journalist Ben Apatoff is that book, honoring Metallica’s history of fighting retail price gouging in the title. Apatoff provides an in-depth look at the band and their music that both die-hard fans and Metallica beginners can enjoy.

Ben Apatoff is a New York writer and educator whose work has appeared in Metal Injection, MetalSucks and the Morbid Anatomy Museum. He was born the summer Metallica released Kill ’Em All.

Throughout this decade, grunge music ruled the world and Seattle was its birthplace and focal point. Thompson was an eyewitness to it all. His writings and interviews chronicled the entire history of grunge—from its roots in the earliest explosion of punk in the mid-1970s to its rise and ultimate fall from grace in the late 1990s.

Drawing from Thompson's extensive experience and research—from personal files and journals and hours of interviews with both musicians and fans, other music industry figures, and a wealth of characters from the Seattle scene—"The Grunge Diaries" is an exhaustive account of this unique era.

Featured are all of the major acts—Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, Soundgarden—and many lesser known bands and artists. But it's not only about the music, the fashions, and the personalities that still resonate today. "The Grunge Diaries" also tells the tale of the end of an era in American history—twentieth-century music culture's last hurrah before the dot-com monsters (many of whom were themselves based in Seattle) devoured its soul and faceless corporations rebranded entertainment. These were the days when fame was still within reach of anyone who knew three chords and had three friends.

Dave Thompson is the author of over 150 books, including co-written memoirs with New York Doll Sylvain Sylvain, Motown legends Brian and Eddie Holland, Hawkwind's Nik Turner, the Yardbirds' Jim McCarty, Fairport Convention's Judy Dyble, and more. He’s a columnist for Goldmine magazine, and his work has also appeared in Rolling Stone, Spin, Alternative Press, Mojo, Record Collector, and many other major publications. He has contributed to music documentaries produced by VH-1, A&E, the BBC, and others. Born in the UK, Thompson is now a resident of Delaware.

This is a journey through Peter Gabriel's solo albums, his live recordings and soundtrack compositions. During his forty-year plus solo career, Gabriel has become a worldwide pop star with his early, self-titled albums and his seminal 1986 record 'So'. He’s had hit singles throughout his career, including "Big Time" and the poignant "In Your Eyes". He also helped pioneer video creativity with the song "Sledgehammer". In doing so, he’s reached beyond his progressive rock background to achieve a level of respect that other musicians from that genre could only dream about. You may have heard many of these songs before, but there's always something new to be found by digging in the dirt. This is the prefect guide to his music for new listeners and long term fans alike.

Graeme Scarfe is a freelance writer. He was born in the 1960's, educated in the comprehensive system in the 1970's & 1980's and graduated from Bournemouth University in the 1990's. He’s worked as a music journalist, sound recordist, stand-up comedian and Film & Media lecturer. He wrote the original screenplay for the 1999 British Horror film "Lighthouse" and the comedy novels "Arable Farm" and "Seagulls on Speed". Grame is married with two children and lives in Sussex.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)]]>2680genesis,graemescarfe,petergabrielfalsefull"London, Reign Over Me: How England's Capital Built Classic Rock"/Stephen Tow [Episode 19]https://www.spreaker.com/episode/london-reign-over-me-how-england-s-capital-built-classic-rock-stephen-tow-episode-19--46239662
London, Reign Over Me immerses us in the backroom clubs, basement record shops, and late-night faint radio signals of 1960s Britain, where young hopefuls like Peter Frampton, Dave Davies, and Mick Jagger built off American blues and jazz to form a whole new sound. Author Stephen Tow weaves together original interviews with over ninety musicians and movers-and-shakers of the time to uncover the uniquely British story of classic rock’s birth.

Capturing the stark contrast of bursting artistic energy with the blitzkrieg landscape leftover from World War II, London, Reign Over Me reveals why classic rock ‘n’ roll could only have been born in London. A new sound from a new generation, this music helped spark the most important cultural transformation of the twentieth century.

Tow features interviews with a long list of artists including:
•Jon Anderson, Rick Wakement & Steve Howe of (Yes)
•Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull)
•Rod Argent (The Zombies)
•Dave Davies (The Kinks)
•Spencer Davis (Spencer Davis Group)
•Peter Frampton (Humble Pie, solo artist)
•Roger Glover (Deep Purple)
•Kenney Jones (The Small Faces; The Who)
•Greg Lake (King Crimson; Emerson, Lake & Palmer)
•Manfred Mann (Manfred Mann)
•Dave Mason (Traffic)
•John Mayall (The Bluesbreakers)
•Ian McLagan of (The Small Faces)
•Carl Palmer (Atomic Rooster; Emerson, Lake & Palmer)
•Paul Rodgers (Free & Bad Company)

Among many, many more...

Stephen Tow teaches history at Delaware Valley University, specializing in rock n roll and twentieth-century America. He is the author of "The Strangest Tribe: How a Group of Seattle Rock Bands Invented Grunge" and resides near Philadelphia with his wife, daughter, and two dogs.

While the majority of KISS books are focused on the glitz and glamour of the iconic makeup era, the non-makeup years are ripe to be explored in book form, and "Take It Off" does just that, zeroing in on the eleven albums KISS issued during this period – including such gold- and platinum-certified hits as 'Lick It Up', 'Animalize', 'Revenge', and 'Alive III' – as well the resulting tours, videos, and other escapades.

"Take It Off" draws on all-new interviews with KISS experts and associates, including the band’s lead guitarist throughout most of this period, Bruce Kulick, plus 'Crazy Nights' producer Ron Nevison and video director Paul Rachman ("Unholy" / "I Just Wanna" / "Domino"). Among the other contributors are Charlie Benante (Anthrax), K.K. Downing (ex-Judas Priest), Derek Sherinian (ex-Dream Theater), and rock music experts Eddie Trunk, Katherine Turman, and Lonn Friend. The book also includes a foreword by Fozzy frontman Chris Jericho and an afterword by acclaimed producer Andreas Carlsson, as well as rare photographs and memorabilia from the period.

Greg Prato is a writer and journalist from Long Island, New York, whose writing has appeared in such renowned publications as Rolling Stone, Classic Rock, and Vintage Guitar. He is also the author of several popular books, including "Shredders! The Oral History Of Speed Guitar (And More)", "Grunge Is Dead: The Oral History Of Seattle Rock Music", and "The Eric Carr Story". And you may even have heard him on one of his many radio or TV appearances, which include interviews on The Howard Stern Wrap-Up Show, Eddie Trunk Live, and The Ron & Fez Show.

PROGRAMMING NOTE: This interview with Greg was originally recorded in February of 2020 for the podcast DISCovery with Eric Senich.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers evolved from a fledgling rock’n’roll band from Gainesville, Florida into becoming an American music institution, being incorporated into the Hollywood Rock ’n’ Roll Hall Of Fame in March 2002. Most people have heard the big hits; "Free Fallin'", "Refugee", among others. But there is so much more to enjoy in Petty’s extensive back catalogue. "Tom Petty Every Album, Every Song" delves into every aspect of Petty’s 40-year recording career album by album and song by song to uncover the extraordinary consistency and quality of this much missed musician.

Richard James immersed himself in music as soon as he got his first real six string at the age of ten. Previously chained to a desk for a living, he managed to escape and, armed with a music degree from the Open University and a Licentiate Diploma in Classical Guitar from the Royal School of Music, he now roams the East Midlands as a freelance guitarist and music teacher. He lives with his wife in Leicestershire. His first book was UFO – on track, also published by Sonicbond.

From its title to the dark themes that pervade some of its songs, "Beggars Banquet" reflected and helped define a moment marked by violence, decay, and upheaval. It marked a move away from the artistic sonic flourishes of psychedelic rock towards an embrace of foundational streams of American music – blues, country – that had always underpinned the music of the Stones but assumed new primacy in their music after 1968. This move coincided with, and anticipated, the ‘roots’ moves that many leading popular music artists made as the 1960s turned toward a new decade; but unlike many of their peers whose music grew more ‘soft’ and subdued as they embraced traditional styles, the music and attitude of the Stones only grew harder and more menacing, and their status as representatives of the dark underside of the 60s rock counterculture assumed new solidity. For the Rolling Stones, the 1960s ended and the 1970s began with the release of this album in 1968.

"Beggars Banquet and the Rolling Stones’ Rock & Roll Revolution: They Call My Name Disturbance" was released in hardcover and kindle through Routledge in December of 2019. On August 2nd, Routledge will release the book in paperback through routledge dot com.

Editor Russell Reising is Professor of American Literature and Asian Studies at University of Toledo, has published widely on topics in American literature, literary criticism, popular music, and psychedelia, and he edited “Every Sound There Is”: The Beatles’ Revolver and the Transformation of Rock and and “Speak to Me”: The Legacy of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, both from Ashgate.

From the ashes of near bankruptcy, Miles entered the world of punk, sharing a building with Malcolm McLaren and Sniffin’ Glue, before shifting gears again as manager of The Police, featuring his brother, Stewart, on drums. Then, after founding IRS Records, he launched the careers of some of the most potent musical acts of the new wave scene and beyond, from Squeeze and The Go-Go’s to The Bangles and R.E.M.

The story comes full circle as Miles finds himself advising the Pentagon on how to win over hearts and minds in the Middle East and introducing Arabic music to the United States. ‘Never let the truth get in the way of a good story,’ his father would tell him. In the end, though, the truth is what counts—and it’s all here.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)]]>5654andysummers,blondie,irsrecords,milescopeland,r.e.m.,sexpistols,squeeze,stewartcopeland,sting,thebangles,thegogos,themoodyblues,thepolice,wishboneashfalsefull"Alice Cooper in the 1970s"/Chris Sutton [Episode 13]https://www.spreaker.com/episode/alice-cooper-in-the-1970s-chris-sutton-episode-13--45730647
The book features all new interview material from key figures including Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway and Neal Smith from the original band, Prakash John from the solo years, and Ernie Cefalu, whose company Pacific Eye and Ear designed the sleeve packaging. Several other musicians, concert promoters and even the band's first roadie have also contributed their thoughts.

All of the albums and singles from Don't Blow Your Mind, until From The Inside are examined in detail, along with related archive releases and songs that didn't make the cut. In the course of putting the book together much new information came to light that will be of huge interest to hardened collectors and new fans alike. The book is an essential guide to Alice Cooper in the decade the band helped to define.

Chris Sutton has been a fan of Alice Cooper since 1972 and the famous debut appearance on Top Of The Pops. The reunion of the band for their UK tour in 2017 stands as one of his happiest memories. He manages Smethwick Heritage Centre museum, and has written several publications for them. He has also written several plays. "Alice Cooper" in the 1970s is his first venture into music writing, with others to follow. He lives in Great Malvern, UK.

"All Things Must Pass Away: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Other Assorted Love Songs" will trace the emergence of their relationship from 1968 though the early 1970s. In particular, authors Womack and Kruppa devote close attention to the climax of Harrison and Clapton's shared musicianship—the November 1970 releases of 'All Things Must Pass', Harrison's powerful emancipatory statement in the wake of the Beatles, and 'Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs', Clapton's impassioned reimagining of his art via Derek and the Dominos, the band that he created from the wreckage of Cream and Blind Faith.

"All Things Must Pass Away" will provide readers with a powerful overview of Harrison and Clapton's relationship, especially in terms of the ways their revolutionary musicianship and songwriting would eclipse rock music as an evolving genre. With 'All Things Must Pass' and 'Layla', Harrison and Clapton bequeathed twin recorded statements that advanced rock 'n' roll from a windswept 1960s idealism into the edgy new reality of the 1970s.

Kenneth Womack is the author of "Maximum Volume" and "Sound Pictures", the two-volume biography of George Martin, as well as "The Beatles Encyclopedia" and "New Critical Perspectives on the Beatles". He delivers some 50 invited Beatles talks a year to audiences across the nation, while sharing his insights with media of all stripes, including National Public Radio, ABC, CBS, NBC, and Voice of America. Jason Kruppa is a music historian and creator of the "Producing the Beatles" podcast.

Following their massive success, the band continued its infamous soap opera when its musical leader and guitarist, Lindsey Buckingham, threatened to quit if he didn’t get things his way, resulting in clashes not only with his band but especially Caillat, who had been essential to the band’s Grammy-winning sound.

Hernan Rojas’s story recounts a young man who leaves Chile after General Pinochet’s coup to seek his future in the music industry of Los Angeles, where he finds success at one of the hottest studios in town. When Fleetwood Mac arrives, Rojas falls in love with its star singer, Stevie Nicks, and the two of them become romantically involved.

Throughout the book, both Caillat and Rojas detail not only the trials and sacrifices they made to finish the album, but also triumphs of musical inspiration and technical innovation that have made Tusk the darling of music critics and indie rockers today.

As Cohen himself observed of this book when Scott sent the manuscript to him for his approval: "I particularly admire the detail and honesty of the piece." One of the more unique features in this recounting is the emerging acknowledgment the author confronts of her own sexuality, as she writes: "It did not take long for Leonard to recognize that I was more attracted to Marianne than I was to him, though I came to love him too in the end."

The book also describes Hydra in the early 1970s in great detail—a unique place filled with astonishing physical beauty and an incomparable atmosphere of serenity and peaceful energy. The island contained a small foreign community of like-minded creative souls, artists, musicians, writers, and their supporters and admirers. As Scott explains, "Hydra in the late '60s and early '70s was at its creative zenith. Like Paris in the '30s, Harlem in the '40s, Greenwich Village in the '50s, San Francisco in the '60s—Hydra in the '70s was the place to be."

The memoir, though it centers on Scott's most important, most impactful interactions with Leonard and Marianne, also contains several portraits of other Hydra habitués, all members of the same small ex-pat community, all close friends (and occasional lovers) of Leonard and Marianne, all uniquely interesting in their own right. Leonard, Marianne and Me is a story of a special time, place, and cast of characters—a travelogue of an enchanted island as it was back then and still is to this day, backlit by the glow of Leonard Cohen and his muse, Marianne.

After his high school band was dropped by Decca Records, Schnee began his quest to learn everything he could about making records. Mentored by technical guru Toby Foster, mastering guru Doug Sax, and recording legend Richie Podolor at his American Recording Studio, he immediately began recording the top acts of the day as a freelance engineer/producer in Hollywood. Clive Davis soon hired him to work for CBS where he partnered with famed music producer Richard Perry. Schnee went on to record and/or mix many of Perry's biggest albums of the '70s and '80s, including those by Barbra Streisand, Carly Simon, Ringo Starr, Art Garfunkel, and the Pointer Sisters.

With his deft personal touch with musicians, he continued to engineer and/or produce the likes of Marvin Gaye, Thelma Houston (the Grammy-nominated, direct-to-disc album I've Got the Music in Me), Pablo Cruise, Neil Diamond, Boz Scaggs, the Jacksons, Huey Lewis and the News, Dire Straits, and Whitney Houston.

With over 125 gold and platinum records, and two Grammys for Steely Dan's Aja and Gaucho, Schnee has been called a living legend—recognized and respected in the industry as the consummate music man with an incomparable career that he lovingly shares with his readers in humorous detail.

Praetorius' adolescent infatuation with music and musicians evolves into an appreciation of performers as real people, featuring an intimate look at their foibles, failings and addictions to adoration and varied vices. Centered on a year of living on the edge with a down and out Steven Tyler and Aerosmith, the ‘Band on the Rocks,' you'll also take side trips involving many other classic icons. Chapters dedicated to AC/DC, Van Halen, Pink Floyd, Yes, Jethro Tull and more, offer unique snapshots of the artists at their peak. A more recent chance meeting with Keith Richards results in an evening being treated to the wit and wisdom of an older but no less outrageous Stone alone.

Praetorius also supplies unique insight on the stars' music and careers and provides detailed and colorful accounts of the nuts and bolts of the business of rock and roll. Many photos in the book have never before been seen publicly.

Praetorius' adolescent infatuation with music and musicians evolves into an appreciation of performers as real people, featuring an intimate look at their foibles, failings and addictions to adoration and varied vices. Centered on a year of living on the edge with a down and out Steven Tyler and Aerosmith, the ‘Band on the Rocks,' you'll also take side trips involving many other classic icons. Chapters dedicated to AC/DC, Van Halen, Pink Floyd, Yes, Jethro Tull and more, offer unique snapshots of the artists at their peak. A more recent chance meeting with Keith Richards results in an evening being treated to the wit and wisdom of an older but no less outrageous Stone alone.

Praetorius also supplies unique insight on the stars' music and careers and provides detailed and colorful accounts of the nuts and bolts of the business of rock and roll. Many photos in the book have never before been seen publicly.

Tooze [Episode 4]https://www.spreaker.com/episode/levon-from-down-in-the-delta-to-the-birth-of-the-band-and-beyond-sandra-b-tooze-episode-4--45085161
He sang the anthems of a generation: "The Weight," "Up on Cripple Creek," and "Life Is a Carnival." Levon Helm's story––told here through sweeping research and interviews with close friends and fellow musicians––is the rollicking story of American popular music itself.

In the Arkansas Delta, a young Levon witnessed "blues, country, and gospel hit in a head-on collision," as he put it. The result was rock 'n' roll. As a teenager, he joined the raucous Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks, then helped merge a hard-driving electric sound with Bob Dylan's folk roots, and revolutionized American rock with the Band. Helm not only provided perfect "in the pocket" rhythm and unforgettable vocals, he was the Band's soul.

Levon traces a rebellious life on the road, from being booed with Bob Dylan to the creative cauldron of Big Pink, the Woodstock Festival, world tours, The Last Waltz, and beyond with the man Dylan called "one of the last true great spirits of my or any other generation."

Author Sandra B. Tooze digs deep into what Helm saw as a devastating betrayal by his closest friend, Band guitarist Robbie Robertson––and Levon's career collapse, his near bankruptcy, and the loss of his voice due to throat cancer in 1997. Yet Helm found success in an acting career that included roles in Coal Miner's Daughter and The Right Stuff. Regaining his singing voice, he made his last decade a triumph, opening his barn to the Midnight Rambles and earning three Grammys. Cancer finally claimed his life in 2012.

WHEN THE WALL OF SOUND MET THE NEW YORK UNDERGROUND: "When the Wall of Sound Met the New York Underground: The Ramones, Phil Spector and End of the Century" explores the collaboration album between two rock legends. New York punk trendsetters The Ramones had spent years cranking out influential albums that failed to set the charts on fire, so it was decided they should team with legendary '60s producer Phil Spector to make that elusive hit album that would take them to the top. But like most thing in the world of The Ramones, things didn't quite work out the way they planned.

Guns, drugs, affairs, death, mannequins and madness ensued as the band attempted to fuse their style with the work of an esteemed madman. All the while the band was shooting the Roger Corman b-movie Rock 'n' Roll High School and burning the candle at both ends. The result is the misunderstood classic, End of the Century. Penned by On the Road with the Ramones author and Streetwalkin' Cheetahs frontman Frank Meyer, "When the Wall of Sound Met the New York Underground" unearths the most fascinating story in the Ramones saga.
