’You never knew what you were going to be confronted with when
you went on Later…’ Nick Cave ‘Later… is a voyage of
discovery for us as well as the viewers’ Dave Grohl Dave Grohl
and Alicia Keys loved it, Björk treasured it, Ed Sheeran’s life
was changed by it, Kano felt at home while Nick Cave was horrified
but inspired, and they all kept coming back. This first-hand
account of the BBC’s Later… with Jools Holland takes you behind
the scenes of one of the world’s great musical meeting places.
Legends including Sir Paul McCartney, Mary J. Blige and David Bowie
found a regular welcome, alongside the next generation of
superstars including Adele, Ed Sheeran and Amy Winehouse. Part of
what has made the show so special is the format – all those
bands, singers, stars and newbies brought together to listen as
well as to perform in Jools’ circle of dreams. But there’s
always been plenty of mayhem alongside the magic of convening a
room full of musicians hosted by one of their own. Written by the
show’s co-creator and 26-year showrunner, music journalist Mark
Cooper, this is the story of how Later… grew into a musical and
TV institution. It was Mark who had to explain to Jay-Z why he
couldn’t just do his numbers and split, who told Seasick Steve
why he had to play ‘Dog House Boogie’ on the Hootenanny and
persuaded Johnny Cash that he simply had to come in, even when The
Man in Black wasn’t feeling well. From Stormzy to Björk, from
Smokey Robinson to Norah Jones, from Britpop to trip hop, here is
the word on how Later… began, evolved and has endured,
accompanied by exclusive interviews with some of the show’s
regular stars as well as the unique pictorial record of Andre
Csillag who photographed the show for over 20 years. A must-read
for music fans everywhere, Later… with Jools Hollandpulls back
the curtain on classic performances to reveal that the show is just
as magical, if even more chaotic, than you imagined.

An October 2022 IndieNext pick "[An] engaging and beautifully
narrated quest for personal fulfillment and musical
recognition...This is a fast-paced tale in which music and love
always take center stage...A truly gifted musician, Price writes
about her journey with refreshing candor."-Kirkus, starred review
"Brutally honest...a vivid and poignant memoir."-The Guardian
Country music star Margo Price shares the story of her struggle to
make it in an industry that preys on its ingenues while trying to
move on from devastating personal tragedies. When Margo Price was
nineteen years old, she dropped out of college and moved to
Nashville to become a musician. She busked on the street, played
open mics, and even threw out her TV so that she would do nothing
but write songs. She met Jeremy Ivey, a fellow musician who would
become her closest collaborator and her husband. But after working
on their craft for more than a decade, Price and Ivey had no label,
no band, and plenty of heartache. Maybe We'll Make It is a memoir
of loss, motherhood, and the search for artistic freedom in the
midst of the agony experienced by so many aspiring musicians: bad
gigs and long tours, rejection and sexual harassment, too much
drinking and barely enough money to live on. Price, though, refused
to break, and turned her lowest moments into the classic country
songs that eventually comprised the debut album that launched her
career. In the authentic voice hailed by Pitchfork for tackling
"Steinbeck-sized issues with no-bullshit humility," Price shares
the stories that became songs, and the small acts of love and
camaraderie it takes to survive in a music industry that is often
unkind to women. Now a Grammy-nominated "Best New Artist," Price
tells a love story of music, collaboration, and the struggle to
build a career while trying to maintain her singular voice and
style.
'With disarming candour and courage, Martha tells us of finding her
own voice and peace as a working artist and mother. Her story is
made more unique because of the remarkably gifted musical family
she was born into' EMMYLOU HARRIS Born into music royalty, daughter
of Kate McGarrigle and Loudon Wainwright III and sister to singer
Rufus Wainwright, Martha grew up in a world filled with
incomparable folk legends. With the same emotional honesty that has
come to define her music Martha describes her tumultuous
public-facing journey from awkward, earnest and ultimately
rebellious daughter, through her intense competition and ultimate
alliance with her brother, Rufus, to the heartbreaking loss of
their mother and finally discovering her voice as an artist. With
candour and grace she writes of becoming a mother herself and
making peace with her past struggles with Kate and her younger
self. Ultimately, this book offers a thoughtful and deeply personal
look into the extraordinary life of one of the most talented
singer-songwriters in music today.
Rufus Thomas may not be a household name, but he is widely regarded
as the patriarch of Memphis R&B, and his music influenced three
generations. His first singles in the early 1950s were recorded as
blues transitioned into R&B, and he was arguably one of the
founding fathers of early rock ’n’ roll. In the early 1960s,
his songs "The Dog" and "Walking the Dog" made a huge impact on the
emerging British "mod" scene, influencing the likes of the Georgie
Fame, the Rolling Stones, and the Who. And in the early 1970s,
Thomas rebranded himself as the "funkiest man alive" and recorded
funk classics that were later sampled by the likes of Public Enemy,
Missy Elliot, and the Wu-Tang Clan. In Funkiest Man Alive: Rufus
Thomas and Memphis Soul, Matthew Ruddick reveals the amazing life
and career of Thomas, who started as a dancer in the minstrel shows
that toured the South before becoming one of the nation’s early
African American disc jockeys, and then going on to record the
first hit singles for both Chess Records and Stax Records. Ruddick
also examines the social fabric of the city of Memphis, analyzing
the factors behind the vast array of talent that appeared in the
late 1950s, with singers like Isaac Hayes, William Bell, Maurice
White (Earth, Wind & Fire), and Thomas’s older daughter,
Carla Thomas, all emerging from the tightly knit African American
community. He also tells the story of Memphis-based Stax Records,
one of the nation’s leading R&B record labels. From the
earliest blues, the segregated minstrel shows, and the birth of
rock ’n’ roll through to the emergence of R&B and funk,
Rufus Thomas saw it all.
Schubert's Workshop offers a fresh study of the composer's
compositional technique and its development, rooted in the author's
experience of realising performing versions of Franz Schubert's
unfinished works. Through close examination of Schubert's use of
technical and structural devices, Brian Newbould demonstrates that
Schubert was much more technically innovative than has been
supposed, and argues that the composer's technical discoveries
constitute a rich legacy of specific influences on later composers.
Providing rich new insights into the creative practice of one of
the major figures of classical music, this two-volume study
reframes our understanding of Schubert as an innovator who
constantly pushed at the frontiers of style and expression.

Spawned in the intensely fertile music scene that blossomed in and
around Seattle in the late 1980s, Nirvana instantly distinguished
itself from the bulk of its peers by virtue of the singular passion
that drove its leader, Kurt Cobain. Few were prepared for worldwide
Nirvana-mania set off by the 1991 release of Nevermind. With the
instantaneous success of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' the album
stormed the charts. Their next album, In Utero, was the last studio
recording released by Nirvana: the demons that made Cobain's
writing so powerful took their toll: he took his own life less than
a year later. Although the band released just five albums,
Nirvana's influence is certain to be felt for many years to come:
Nirvana, an unofficial publication, shows the multiple reasons
behind that impact through the words of the band, their friends and
their colleagues. Through interviews with those close to the band
coupled with intensive archive research, the unique status this
band occupies-as representatives of the time, and as timeless
songwriters-will be revealed.
Keith Moon was more than just rock's greatest drummer, he was a
phenomenal character and an extravagant hell raiser who - in a
final, uncharacteristic act of grace - actually did die before he
got old. This new edition includes a newly written After word that
consiers Moon's lasting legacy, the death of John Entwistle and The
Who's ongoing career in the new millennium. In this astonishing
biography, Tony Fletcher questions the myths, avoids the
time-honoured anecdotes and talks afresh to those who where closest
to Moon including Kim, his wife of eight years, and Linda, his
sister and Annette Walter-Lax, his main girlfriend of the final
years. Also interviewed are Oliver Reed, Larry Hagman, David
Putnam, Alice Cooper, Dave Edmunds, Jeff Beck, John Entwistle and
many others who worked and partied with him. In interviewing over
100 people who knew Moon, Fletcher reveals the truth behind the
'famous' stunts that never occured - and the more outrageous ones
that did! He also uncovers astonishing details about Moon's
outrageous extravagance which was financed by The Who's American
success.
A beautifully written exploration of the world of Edwardian folk
music, and its influence on the composer Ralph Vaughan Williams In
January 1905 the young Vaughan Williams, not yet one of England's
most famous composers, visited Norfolk to find folk songs 'from the
mouths of the singers'. An old fisherman, James 'Duggie' Carter,
performed 'The Captain's Apprentice', a brutal tale of torture sung
to the most beautiful tune the young composer had ever heard. With
this transformational moment at its heart, the book traces the
contrasting lives of the well-to-do composer and a forgotten cabin
boy who died at sea, and brings fresh perspectives on folk-song
collectors, the singers and their songs. ***AS READ ON BBC RADIO

This in-depth biography details Harry's life so far. From his
childhood and his journey to fame on the X-Factor to releasing
incredibly successful solo music and becoming a fashion icon, this
book gets you closer to Harry than ever before. From the start of
his career we follow the roller coaster of emotions as One
Direction broke up, and we learn how Harry reinvented himself. Free
from the shackles of being in a boyband he was able to be the rock
star he had always dreamed of being and conquer the US by himself.
Not content with being one of the world's biggest popstars, Harry
has also cultivated a career as a film star, kicking off with a
starring role in box-office hits like Dunkirk before going on to
become a member of the iconic Marvel universe and, in 2022, taking
the lead in My Policeman and Don’t Worry Darling. Now, as
universally acknowledged fashion royalty, he has hosted the Met
Gala with Serena Williams and Lady Gaga and regularly models for
Gucci. In 2021 he released his beauty brand, Pleasing, and he has
even partnered with the meditation app Calm to record a story
designed to help listeners drift off. His new album Harry’s House
soared to the top of the charts in both the UK and the US, and his
2022 tour 'Love on Tour' has sold out globally. In short, his
phenomenal success shows no signs of slowing down. Get to know the
iconic singer in greater depth with this book that gets you to the
heart of a very modern pop star – a must read for all of Harry's
fans. Also available: Ariana: The Biography (9781782439745) Adele:

In 1968, the 19 year-old Nick Drake had everything to live for. The
product of a loving, creative family and a privileged background,
he was not only a handsome and popular Cambridge undergraduate, but
also a new signing to the UK's hippest record label, Island. Three
years later, however - having made three well-reviewed but
low-selling albums - he had been overwhelmed by a mysterious mental
illness. Based back in his family home in rural Warwickshire as of
1971, he largely withdrew from life and died in obscurity and
despair in 1974. In the decades since he has become the subject of
ever-growing fascination and speculation. Combined sales of his
records now stand in the millions, his songs are frequently heard
on TV and in films, and it is no exaggeration to call him one of
the most widely known and best loved singer-songwriters of his
generation. Nick Drake: The Authorised Biography will be the only
life of Nick to be written with the approval and involvement of his
estate. Drawing on copious original research, new interviews with
close family friends, schoolfellows and musical contemporaries and
collaborators, as well as deeply personal archive material
unavailable to previous biographers - including his father's
diaries, his Cambridge essays and letters home from school,
university and elsewhere - this book is the most comprehensive and
authoritative account possible of this beloved figure's short and
enigmatic life.
This limited printing, hardcover 40th anniversary edition includes:
-an exclusive new interview with lead singer Simon Le Bon -a Rio
timeline -a newly designed book cover by Rio album sleeve designer,
Malcolm Garrette -vintage Duran Duran photos and ads -and much
more... In the '80s, the Birmingham, England, band Duran Duran
became closely associated with new wave, an idiosyncratic genre
that dominated the decade's music and culture. No album represented
this rip-it-up-and-start-again movement better than the act's
breakthrough 1982 LP, Rio. A cohesive album with a retro-futuristic
sound-influences include danceable disco, tangy funk, swaggering
glam, and Roxy Music's art-rock-the full-length sold millions and
spawned smashes such as "Hungry Like the Wolf" and the title track.
However, Rio wasn't a success everywhere at first; in fact, the LP
had to be buffed-up with remixes and reissued before it found an
audience in America. The album was further buoyed by colorful music
videos and a cutting-edge visual aesthetic, both of which
established the 2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees as
leaders of an MTV-driven second British Invasion. Via extensive new
and exclusive interviews with band members and other figures who
helped Rio succeed, this book explores how and why Rio became a
landmark pop-rock album, and examines how the LP was both a musical
inspiration-and a reflection of a musical, cultural, and technology
zeitgeist.
Written with grace, humor, and affection, Last Train to Memphis has
been hailed as the definitive biography of Elvis Presley. It is the
first to set aside the myths and focus on Elvis' humanity in a way
that has yet to be duplicated. A New York Times Notable BookWinner
of the Ralph J. Gleason Music Book Award "Elvis steps from the
pages. You can feel him breathe. This book cancels out all others."
--Bob Dylan From the moment that he first shook up the world in the
mid 1950s, Elvis Presley has been one of the most vivid and
enduring myths of American culture. Last Train to Memphis: The Rise
of Elvis Presley is the first biography to go past that myth and
present an Elvis beyond the legend. Based on hundreds of interviews
and nearly a decade of research, it traces the evolution not just
of the man but of the music and of the culture he left utterly
transformed, creating a completely fresh portrait of Elvis and his
world. This volume tracks the first twenty-four years of Elvis'
life, covering his childhood, the stunning first recordings at Sun
Records ("That's All Right," "Mystery Train"), and the early RCA
hits ("Heartbreak Hotel," "Hound Dog," "Don't Be Cruel"). These
were the years of his improbable self-invention and unprecedented
triumphs, when it seemed that everything that Elvis tried succeeded
wildly. There was scarcely a cloud in sight through this period
until, in 1958, he was drafted into the army and his mother died
shortly thereafter. The book closes on that somber and poignant
note. Last Train to Memphis takes us deep inside Elvis' life,
exploring his lifelong passion for music of every sort (from blues
and gospel to Bing Crosby and Mario Lanza), his compelling
affection for his family, and his intimate relationships with
girlfriends, mentors, band members, professional associates, and
friends. It shows us the loneliness, the trustfulness, the
voracious appetite for experience, and above all the unshakable,
almost mystical faith that Elvis had in himself and his music.
Drawing frequently on Elvis' own words and on the recollections of
those closest to him, the book offers an emotional, complex
portrait of young Elvis Presley with a depth and dimension that for
the first time allow his extraordinary accomplishments to ring
true. Peter Guralnick has given us a previously unseen world, a
rich panoply of people and events that illuminate an achievement, a
place, and a time as never revealed before.

From Mozart's fabulous legato that "flowed like oil" to Beethoven's
oceanlike surge, from Clara Schumann's touch "sharp as a pencil
sketch" to Rubinstein's volcanic and sensual playing, The Great
Pianists brings to life the brilliant, stylish, and sometimes
eccentric personalities, methods, and technical peculiarities of
history's greatest pianists.Pulitzer Prize-winning critic and
author Harold C. Schonberg presents vivid accounts of the artists'
performances, styles, and even their personal lives and quirky
characteristics-- such as Mozart's intense competition with
Clementi, Lizst's magnetic effect on women (when he played, ladies
flung their jewels on stage), and Gottschalk's persistent
nailbiting, which left the keys covered with blood. Including
profiles of Horowitz and Van Cliburn, among others, and chapters
detailing the playing and careers of such modern pianists as de
Larrocha, Ashkenazy, Gilels, Gould, Brendel, Bolet, Gutierrez, and
Watts, The Great Pianists is a comprehensive and fascinating look
at legendary performers past and present.
My real story starts with a disaster, an unmitigated,
pull-the-rug-from-under-you, clean-out-the-bank-account disaster.
But had it not happened, The Police would never have risen to
become the biggest rock band in the world; Jools Holland would not
have ended up on TV; The Bangles, The Go-Go s, R.E.M., and many
other music stars might never have made it either. It s strange how
a fluke, a disaster, an unlikely event can lead to incredible
results. But that is in essence what happened to me . . . Two Steps
Forward, One Step Back tells the extraordinary story of a maverick
manager, promoter, label owner, and all-round legend of the music
industry. It opens in the Middle East, where Miles grew up with his
father, a CIA agent who was stationed in Syria, Egypt, and Lebanon.
It then shifts to London in the late 60s and the beginnings of a
career managing bands like Wishbone Ash and Curved Air only for
Miles s life and work to be turned upside down by a pioneering yet
disastrous European tour. From the ashes of near bankruptcy, Miles
enters the world of punk, sharing office space 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 launches 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. Finally, 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. Sometimes, though, the truth
is all you need.

1979. My family and I stand arm in arm around our Formica kitchen
table, counting down to the new decade with each televised chime of
Big Ben. We have no idea what is about to hit us, no idea of the
seismic waves of change approaching. The 80s transformed life as we
knew it. Music, style and culture exploded in a haze of dayglo
colour. There were hardships, but there were opportunities too. And
I lived through – and helped to shape – Britain’s last real
youth movement. Ticket to the World is my time-warp trip down
memory lane, reliving that truly unforgettable decade. Join me as I
recall what it was like to lead the New Romantics, stay up all
night at the Blitz with Sade and Boy George, travel the world with
Spandau Ballet and contribute to the era-defining Live Aid. So,
grab that glass of Babycham and let’s toast the very best of the
80s: the creativity and the culture, the fashion and the FUN!

The authoritative Beethoven biography, endorsed by and produced in
close collaboration with the Beethoven-Haus Bonn, is timed for the
250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth. With unprecedented access
to the archives at the Beethoven House in Bonn, renowned Beethoven
conductor and scholar Jan Caeyers expertly weaves together a deeply
human and complex image of Beethoven-his troubled youth, his
unpredictable mood swings, his desires, relationships, and
conflicts with family and friends, the mysteries surrounding his
affair with the "immortal beloved," and the dramatic tale of his
deafness. Caeyers also offers new insights into Beethoven's music
and its gradual transformation from the work of a skilled craftsman
into that of a consummate artist. Demonstrating an impressive
command of the vast scholarship on this iconic composer, Caeyers
brings Beethoven's world alive with elegant prose, memorable
musical descriptions, and vivid depictions of Bonn and Vienna-the
cities where Beethoven produced and performed his works. Caeyers
explores how Beethoven's career was impacted by the historical and
philosophical shifts taking place in the music world, and
conversely, how his own trajectory changed the course of the music
industry. Equal parts absorbing cultural history and lively
biography, Beethoven, A Life paints a complex portrait of the
musical genius who redefined the musical style of his day and went
on to become one of the great pillars of Western art music.
The instant New York Times bestseller: the lead singer of the Stone
Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver delivers an exhilarating memoir
of scaling the pinnacle of rock stardom, plunging into the chasm of
addiction and incarceration, and then clawing his way back to the
top again and again. In the early 1990s, Stone Temple Pilots--not
U2, not Nirvana, not Pearl Jam--was the hottest band in the world.
STP toppled such megabands as Aerosmith and Guns N' Roses on MTV
and the Billboard charts. Lead singer Scott Weiland became an
iconic front man in the tradition of Mick Jagger, David Bowie, and
Robert Plant. Then, when STP imploded, it was Weiland who emerged
as the emblem of rock star excess, with his well-publicized drug
busts and trips to rehab. Weiland has since made a series of
stunning comebacks, fronting the supergroup Velvet Revolver,
releasing solo work, and reuniting with Stone Temple Pilots. He has
prevailed as a loving, dedicated father, as well as a
business-savvy artist whose well of creativity is far from empty.
Not Dead & Not for Sale is a hard rock memoir to be reckoned
with--a passionate, insightful, and at times humorous book that
reads with extraordinary narrative force.
A celebration of Harry Styles - we Adore You! Harry Styles is a
