Описание:

Every song has a story behind it, and this is the captivating tale, in Bruce Blackman's unsurpassable wit, that tickles the nerve-endings of a time gone by . . . a time that is still revered to this day.

Moonlight Feels Right by Starbuck, a group in which Bruce was the frontman with his familiar white cap, became one of the top-selling songs of the '70s, and is still played in 54 countries across the globe.

Bruce takes you on a musical cruise through the '60s and '70s in a page-turning, laugh-out-loud memoir--from his Mississippi Delta childhood to adventures in Hollywood, packed with celebrities and filled with telling detail. Touching at moments and side-splitting hilarious at others, this engrossing memoir gives you lots of juicy tidbits.

Beginning with their breakout concert with his group Starbuck opening for ELO, he takes you behind the scenes of American Bandstand, Merv Griffin, Rock Concert, Midnight Special, and Dinah Shore. It's all here---the back stories, the part you couldn't see.

From his experiences with William Faulkner and Jim Morrison to his brief appearance in the movie The Graduate, you'll enjoy a front-row seat on his one-of-a-kind trip to the top of the charts . . . The Road to Moonlight Feels Right.

This is a commanding memoir that stands the test of time. After all, who doesn't like a bit of moonlight magic?

Описание: Langston Collin Wilkins returns to the city where he grew up to illuminate the complex relationship between place, identity, and music in Houston’s hip hop culture. Interviews with local rap artists, producers, and managers inform an exploration of how artists, audiences, music, and place interact to create a heritage that musicians negotiate in a variety of ways. Street-based musicians, avant-garde underground rappers, and Christian artists offer candid views of the scene while Wilkins delves into related aspects like slab, the area’s hip hop-related car culture. What emerges is a portrait of a dynamic reciprocal process where an artist, having identified with and embodied a social space, reproduces that space in a performance even as the performance reconstructs the social space.

A vivid journey through a southern hip hop bastion, Welcome 2 Houston offers readers an inside look at a unique musical culture.

Описание:

Rolling Stone hails singer/songwriter Robert Earl Keen as "a writer with a novelist's eye for character and narrative detail comparable to forerunners like John Prine, Guy Clark, and Kris Kristofferson." In The Road Goes on Forever and the Music Never Ends, the master storyteller gives us fascinating glimpses into his own story through songs, personal memorabilia, and photographs that span his career from his student days at Texas A&M University to a recent concert at Austin's legendary Stubb's Bar-B-Que.

The Road Goes on Forever and the Music Never Ends contains the lyrics for twenty-four of Keen's favorite songs, accompanied by one-liners that offer tantalizing hints at the motivations behind the songs ("Corpus Christi Bay" — "True? Yes, unfortunately.") Accompanying the lyrics is a wealth of material from Keen's personal archive—newspaper clippings, concert posters, and programs; journal entries and letters that show him in the process of everything from self-improvement ("Do something really nice for my sister") to raising money to record an album; and photos by and of family, friends, and fans.

A very personal, beautifully designed songbook, scrapbook, and photo album, The Road Goes on Forever and the Music Never Ends is the essential book for everyone who loves the music of Robert Earl Keen.

Also packaged in the book is a CD with printable sheet music for all twenty-four songs, which come from Keen's critically acclaimed albums Walking Distance, Gringo Honeymoon, What I Really Mean, A Bigger Piece of Sky, Farm Fresh Onions, Gravitational Forces, and Picnic.

Описание: Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington was one of jazz's greatest innovators. Join Bill Gutman as he explores the fascinating life of this legend from his birth at the turn of the century to his death at the age of seventy-five. Interviewing Duke's friends, fans, and fellow musicians, Gutman documents the progress of a man who dedicated his life to crafting the ever-changing sound of jazz. Gutman plunges into the history of jazz from its origin in the honky-tonk sounds of the Ragtime Era to the forms that are widely enjoyed today. Jazz has evolved through the years to become one of the most popular forms of music, with Duke Ellington as chief composer, artist, and perfomer. Gutman's account of Ellington's life as it parallels the history of jazz provides a fascinating history for both jazz veterans and those new to the art form. Bill Gutman is a longtime freelance writer who has published more than two hundred books for both children and adults, in fiction and nonfiction. He has written biographies of such diverse personalities as Magic Johnson, Bill Parcells, Michael Jordan, jazz great Duke Ellington, Pistol Pete Maravich, and former president Andrew Jackson. In addition, he has worked with the likes of former New York Giants linebacker Pepper Johnson (Won for All: The Inside Story of the New England Patriots' Improbable Run to the Super Bowl), baseball star Bobby Thomson (The Giants Win the Pennant The Giants Win the Pennant ), and former Rangers and Red Sox manager Kevin Kennedy (Twice Around the Bases) on as-told-to books. He has also written numerous sports histories, interviewed former baseball players on their transition to the real world (When the Cheering Stops), spoken with twenty-five extreme-sport, high-risk athletes in the world (Being Extreme), and talked with members of the 1968 New York Jets and 1969 New York Mets (Miracle Year, 1969: Amazing Mets and Super Jets). He has also ghosted a family memoir with Thomas and Betty Jones of Big Stone Gap, Virginia. They are the parents of seven children, including former NFL running backs Thomas and Julius Jones (Blessings from the Dust). Mr. Gutman is currently writing a series of novels and novellas about a New York City detective working in the 1920s (the Mike Fargo Mysteries). Both Duke: The Musical Life of Duke Ellington and Being Extreme are currently available from Open Road Media.

Описание:

Acclaimed Beatles historian Kenneth Womack offers the most definitive account yet of the writing, recording, mixing, and reception of Abbey Road.

In February 1969, the Beatles began working on what became their final album together. Abbey Road introduced a number of new techniques and technologies to the Beatles' sound, and included "Come Together," "Something," and "Here Comes the Sun," which all emerged as classics.

Womack's colorful retelling of how this landmark album was written and recorded is a treat for fans of the Beatles. Solid State takes readers back to 1969 and into EMI's Abbey Road Studio, which boasted an advanced solid state transistor mixing desk. Womack focuses on the dynamics between John, Paul, George, Ringo, and producer George Martin and his team of engineers, who set aside (for the most part) the tensions and conflicts that had arisen on previous albums to create a work with an innovative (and, among some fans and critics, controversial) studio-bound sound that prominently included the new Moog synthesizer, among other novelties.

As Womack shows, Abbey Road was the culmination of the instrumental skills, recording equipment, and artistic vision that the band and George Martin had developed since their early days in the same studio seven years earlier. A testament to the group's creativity and their producer's ingenuity, Solid State is required reading for all fans of the Beatles and the history of rock 'n' roll.
