Bloomfield is number one. Not only did he play over the top well
and I mean amazingly well but he also played what I call 'real'
guitar. If you've ever heard Mike Bloomfield, then you know what
I'm talking about. It just came from his heart. I never got a
chance to see him because he died at an early age, but he was a big
influence on me as to the way I learned to bend strings and get
everything I could out of a note. One of the best players ever."
Mick Mars (Motley Crue)
Since the nineteenth century, the distinct tones of kk kila, the
Hawaiian steel guitar, have defined the island sound. Here
historian and steel guitarist John W. Troutman offers the
instrument's definitive history, from its discovery by a young
Hawaiian royalist named Joseph Kekuku to its revolutionary
influence on American and world music. During the early twentieth
century, Hawaiian musicians traveled the globe, from tent shows in
the Mississippi Delta, where they shaped the new sounds of country
and the blues, to regal theaters and vaudeville stages in New York,
Berlin, Kolkata, and beyond. In the process, Hawaiian guitarists
recast the role of the guitar in modern life. But as Troutman
explains, by the 1970s the instrument's embrace and adoption
overseas also worked to challenge its cultural legitimacy in the
eyes of a new generation of Hawaiian musicians. As a consequence,
the indigenous instrument nearly disappeared in its homeland. Using
rich musical and historical sources, including interviews with
musicians and their descendants, Troutman provides the complete
story of how this Native Hawaiian instrument transformed not only
American music but the sounds of modern music throughout the world.
From the young Black teenager who built a bass guitar in woodshop
to the musician building a solo career with Motown
Records—Prince’s bassist BrownMark on growing up in
Minneapolis, joining Prince and The Revolution, and his life in the
purple kingdom  In the summer of 1981, Mark Brown was a
teenager working at a 7-11 store when he wasn’t rehearsing with
his high school band, Phantasy. Come fall, Brown, now called
BrownMark, was onstage with Prince at the Los Angeles Coliseum,
opening for the Rolling Stones in front of 90,000 people. My Life
in the Purple Kingdom is BrownMark’s memoir of coming of age in
the musical orbit of one of the most visionary artists of his
generation. Raw, wry, real, this book takes us from his musical
awakening as a boy in Minneapolis to the cold call from Prince at
nineteen, from touring the world with The Revolution and performing
in Purple Rain to inking his own contract with Motown.
BrownMark’s story is that of a hometown kid, living for sunny
days when his transistor would pick up KUXL, a solar-powered,
shut-down-at-sundown station that was the only one that played
R&B music in Minneapolis in 1968. But once he took up the bass
guitar—and never looked back—he entered a whole new realm, and,
literally at the right hand of Twin Cities musical royalty, he
joined the funk revolution that integrated the Minneapolis music
scene and catapulted him onto the international stage. BrownMark
describes how his funky stylings earned him a reputation (leading
to Prince’s call) and how he and Prince first played together at
that night’s sudden audition—and never really stopped. He takes
us behind the scenes as few can, into the confusing emotional and
professional life among the denizens of Paisley Park, and offers a
rare, intimate look into music at the heady heights that his
childhood self could never have imagined. An inspiring memoir of
making it against stacked odds, experiencing extreme highs and lows
of success and pain, and breaking racial barriers, My Life in the
Purple Kingdom is also the story of a young man learning his craft
and honing his skill like any musician, but in a world like no
other and in a way that only BrownMark could tell it.

Steinberger: A Story of Creativity and Design tells the story of
musical instrument designer Ned Steinberger. Ned's instruments have
been pushing the boundaries both sonically and aesthetically for
over 40 years and been played by the very best of the best
musicians around the world. Steinberger: A Story of Creativity and
Design explores Ned Steinberger's revolutionary contributions to
the world of musical instrument design. The first instrument he
ever created, the Spector NS-1 bass guitar in 1977, is still
Spector's best-selling instrument design. With his next
instruments, the Steinberger basses and guitars, Ned literally cut
the head off the world of guitar and bass and redefined what the
electric bass and guitar could be. Steinberger instruments defined
a generation of musicians both sonically and visually and were
played by the biggest artists of the day, including Sting, Bill
Wyman of the Rolling Stones, and Eddie Van Halen. Never one to slow
down, Ned moved from electric guitars and basses to bowed electric
instruments. His NS Design instruments once again set the industry
standards. Throughout his career Ned has also worked with other
builders and manufacturers and created or contributed to countless
projects ranging from electronic tuners and pickups to acoustic
guitars and drum head tuners. Truly, anytime you see 'NS' in a
music store it stands for Ned Steinberger. With all those
accomplishments, it may be surprising that Ned is an unlikely
musical hero. Therein lies the story. He is not a musician. He
comes from the world of art and design rather than the world of
music, but his influence can be seen to this day and he holds a
place of honor alongside other visionaries like Leo Fender, Les
Paul and Ted McCarty.

Together * Here Comes the Sun * Octopus's Garden * Something * and
more.
