Come Together - Lennon & McCartney In The Seventies

Come Together - Lennon & McCartney In The Seventies

Written by Richard White , Come Together is the story of Lennon and McCartney In The Seventies , offering an intriguing new perspective on the personal relationship and solo careers of John Lennon and Paul McCartney in the decade following the breakup of The Beatles. Set primarily in Los Angeles, New York City and New Orleans, the book explores their separate paths, reconciliation and the ever-present possibility of a renewed creative partnership. As one of the world's greatest songwriting partnerships they no longer had anything to prove - other than perhaps to each other - but each knew their names would be forever linked together. Informed by many interviews and recollections from insiders, Come Together is an antidote to the media notion of professional partners driven apart by rivalry and grudges. In retelling their story it shows the more complex and often much warmer relationship of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, post-Beatles.

Brownie McGhee: Born With The Blues 1966-1992

Brownie McGhee: Born With The Blues 1966-1992

Walter Brown Mcghee (1915-1996) was an articulate spokesman for the blues who, in partnership with Sonny Terry, proselytized the buoyant Piedmont-blues-style to folk audiences a decade before most ever heard of the Mississippi Delta. Though he is largely associated with the folk boom which made Sonny & Brownie familiar names worldwide, Brownie's recording career began in Chicago in 1940; the second song in this retrospective, Me and My Dog, was Brownie's first issued recording. Other reminders here of Brownie's pre-War blues career are Death of Blind Boy Fuller (written to order on the occasion of Fuller's 1941 demise) and the Fuller-influenced Pawn Shop Blues. Tennessee born, Carolina-influenced, New York based in his folk boom glory and a Californian at the time of his death, Brownie showed a wide stylistic range from turn-of-the-century ragtime (Come On Keep It Coming) to the lyrical sophistication of such original songs as Conversation With A River. His flair for the dramatic aside and autobiographical insight augment passionate vocals and splendid guitar work in 14 performances, a moving retrospective of an artist too long taken for granted.

Art Of Gothic Bam Bk

Art Of Gothic Bam Bk

The Art Of Gothic , whether it's music, fashion or culture, has roots that can't be definitively nailed down, yet its branches extend well into popular culture, with art in all its permutations drawing from the darkness and melancholy of the gothic aesthetic. This book uses 400 artworks to chart the history of this striking and bold movement, compiled by Natasha Scharf , an authority on gothic culture. From its beginnings as a subculture branching off from punk, musicians and artists embraced a new style, taking their lead from the widely-regarded first goth song 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' by the art-rock band Bauhaus in 1979. From this, the subculture has permeated everything from album covers to fashion, literature, cinema, computer games and fine art, even spawning its own collection of dark subgenres like pop-punk, industrial, steampunk and neo-noir.  Charting the history of the aesthetic of the gothic from its very beginnings to the present day, this fascinating visual journey provides a thoroughly striking record of the movement for which image is everything. Through the different iconography and styles within this large genre, readers will be awe-inspired by the sheer pervasiveness of the style and its colours. Far from being a depressing visual style, the beauty and intensity of the 400+ artworks in the volume will definitely excite fans of gothic, as well as those with an interest in art. A collection as comprehensive and authoritative as this doesn't come along very often, and the odyssey from Post-Punk to contemporary cinema by way of Japanese gothic-Lolitas, videogames and the Vampire myth represents everything there is to know about this style, in stunningly vibrant images. The Art Of Gothic  looks like a work of art in itself, and is essential reading for anyone interested to know more about this most wide-ranging genre.

Rick Buckler: That's Entertainment - My Life In The Jam

Rick Buckler: That's Entertainment - My Life In The Jam

During their golden years of 1977 to 1982, The Jam 's frontman Paul Weller was their outspoken leader, but it was drummer Rick Buckler who was the beating heart of the band, and it is his fascinating story that is told in his autobiography, That's Entertainment: My Life In The Jam,  replete with insights into his life and music. From his childhood in the 1950s to his musical growth to becoming the backbone of one of the most successful punk rock British bands, the story goes on to detail his post-Jam musical career, incorporating a number of other musicians in his continuous projects. Featuring some incredible photographs from Buckler 's personal archives, in-depth details about his personal and musical life, as well as before-unknown information about his projects since The Jam, That's Entertainment: My Life In The Jam  presents a great biography that is an antidote to many of the other popular music books out there. As The Jam rose to fame in 1977, their blend of rock, punk, mod and new-wave made them a musical force to be reckoned with. Weller's in-your-face attitude and songwriting combined with Bruce Foxton's powerful bass lines and Buckler's brilliant drumming to create a sound that has been often replicated but rarely matched. This book is the story of the man at the back of the band, absent from the bitter quarrels but always looking forward from the middle, both physically on stage and metaphorically.  There have been a vast number of other books written about The Jam, but none come close to the intimacy and personality of this portrayal of a pioneering band and their interesting story. Through Rick Buckler 's eyes, That's Entertainment: My Life In The Jam  chronicles the highlights of their heyday and the low points of the dissolution of friendships. It's a brilliant read if you're a fan of The Jam, or even at all interested in popular music, this Rick Buckler  autobiography has it all.
