As recommended by USA Today and excerpted on Rolling Stone.com!
More than forty years after breaking up, The Beatles remain the
biggest-selling and most influential group in the history of
popular music. Fans endlessly replay their songs, craving more,
while thousands of cover versions of their songs have been recorded
and performed. Band biographies, pop music histories, song books,
and academic titles on the Fab Four clutter shelves. But never has
there been a definitive guide to the finest songs of The Beatles
after they called it quits. Still the Greatest is a love song to
the songwriting and recording achievements of Paul, John, George,
and Ringo after each struck out on his own. In this creative
history, Jackson selects the best songs in each solo career and
organizes them into fantasy albums they might have formed had the
legendary group stayed together. This romp through the post-Beatles
history of each artist delves into the circumstances behind the
composition, recording, and reception of each work, offering a
refreshing take on how spectacular much of The Beatles' second act
truly is. Jackson assesses the more than seventy albums and nine
hundred songs the four collectively released, selecting the creme
de la creme of their output. Still the Greatest brims with facts
(release dates, writing and performing credits, and information
about production techniques) and insightful analyses of the music
and lyrics. In telling the stories behind the songs, Jackson
recounts the remarkable influence the Post Fab Four continued to
have long after the big split. Both a handy reference and an
engrossing cover-to-cover read, Still the Greatest is an invaluable
companion for those who thought it all ended with the 1970 album
Let It Be.
