Members Reviews: A great telling of great bands and great stories from Bob! The audible book of this book is what I listened to over several hours in the evening and night. You can really tell Bob's fondness over great moments like touring with Rattus and meeting great people in the Punk scene. And you can also tell Bob's emotional feelings towards his two bitter breakups, and the death of his friend who was stabbed to death at a Punk show for "being a nice guy." However, the highlights of this book include the great records Bob got into and released! This audiobook also features a song from some of these records! Recommended to Punk record buffs like myself and anyone who wants to get into the music but doesn't know where to start. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/American-Legends-The-Life-of-Nat-King-Cole-Audiobook/B00XWV2LUQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: American Legends: The Life of Nat King Cole Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Alex L. Vincent Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-15 Publisher: Charles River Editors Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: "If I could read it, I could play it." - Nat King Cole A lot of time has been spent covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute. And they can do so while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. Among the most recognizable and iconic vocal artists known to American society from the mid-20th to the 21st century, baritone Nat King Cole is indelible in the nation's consciousness for such hits as "Mona Lisa" and "Ramblin' Rose" as well as for his rendition of Mel Tormé's famous "Christmas Song", with the opening line known to millions of American households: "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire." Cole is almost synonymous with the Christmas holiday season. His entire career, following an early start as a first-rate pianist, includes a consistent string of similar hits, including: "Route 66", "Sweet Lorraine", "(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons", "Nature Boy," "Too Young", "Answer Me", "Walkin' My Baby Back Home", "Straighten Up and Fly Right", "Lush Life", "Those Hazy Lazy Crazy Days of Summer", "People", "That Sunday That Summer", "Dear Lonely Hearts", "L-O-V-E", and "Unforgettable". His gentle baritone sound, elegant phrasing, and crystal-clear enunciation are unmistakable, and have remained as a beloved fixture in America's collective ear for well over half a century. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Charles River Editors) Wed, 20 May 2015 18:44:12 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/American-Legends-The-Life-of-Nat-King-Cole-Audiobook/B00XWV2LUQ thebookvoice.com 01:20:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Nat King Cole This short read,narrated nicely by Alex L. Vincent,lead us on a journey through Mr. Coles life and times.It was very interesting to me to see just how people of color were treated in the 'old days',even if they were talented.I enjoyed listening to his story. "I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via AudiobookBlast or MalarHouse Nat Does Not Do Rock n' Roll Nat does not do rock n' roll. This is what he told Natalie when she was in love with Elvis and wanted her father to sing rock n' roll. 'Along with Sinatra, he was the most successful artist of his generation.' "The Christmas Song", "Route 66", and "Unforgettable" were a few of his most notable songs especially when Natalie accompanied him posthumously in "Unforgettable." He was a jazz pianist and went into the pop genre and began a parallel career. He was considered the African-American counterpart to Bing Crosby. He was also in several films. I grew up listening to Nat King Cole and I think we had all his albums. He was my dad's favorite artist. This audiobook was a great listen and was extremely moving as I didn't know he had been attacked for the color of his skin. I never knew this and learning of this made me cry. This was a man who brought so much joy into the lives of so many people. Alex L. Vincent did a great job narrating this audiobook. He spoke clearly and had a good pace as well as a nice tone. He made this a nice, pleasant listen. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Deflowered-Audiobook/B00DO88CE6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A GREAT Read How many people really get to live their dream? Jon and his bandmates sure do, and their dream was not necessarily to get wealthy or famous. This fascinating and amusing tale gives you a look at their real accomplishment, to make a true honest living, being who they want to be, against tremendous pressures of all sorts. It is a great inspiration - to succeed according to your own measure and to have a hell of a great time doing it. I've rediscovered their music and picked up their new stuff, and I must say the music and this book never fail to delight. Jon and company are heroes to more people than they will ever know. You will love this book. I sure did. A band for the ages. Pansy Division was a groundbreaking band. This is the story of how they got there. Engaging and informative. As a fan, it was great seeing where their heads were while creating a band for the ages. Good docu-account but lacking in related details Basic account of one members view of the development of the band. Could have used more personal details of the tribulations if his liaisons along the way, since the mantra is so in-your-face pro homo. Where is the real life graphic detail to match all the graphic bravado constantly wailed in all of your music??? The story behind some of my favorite songs I enjoyed Ginoli's story about one of my favorite bands from the 90's. I still giggle like a little boy at some of their sillier songs and am moved by others. Thanks for the music. A wild, pink ride! A good memoir delivers a sharp writing style, a compelling tell-all story, and a clear theme, and I'm delighted to say Deflowered: My Life in Pansy Division brings them all with a fiery pink vengeance. For the uninitiated, Pansy Division was a pop-punk band founded by Jon Ginoli that, along with acts like Tribe-8 and Fifth Column, comprised the musical part of the homocore movement of the 1980s and 90s. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Last-Tour-Audiobook/B00ZRRTSG8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Last Tour Subtitle: Love, Laughter, and Tears: In Memory of Ron Eckerman Author: Carolyn Day Narrator: Carol Purdom Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 06-17-15 Publisher: Carolyn Day Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: This is a true story of retired music manager Ron Eckerman's last few years of life. Ron was haunted for several years by a recurring nightmare about the date of his death. After his wife left him on their anniversary, he felt that his life was over and he would die alone. He then found true love and happiness through a strange twist of fate with Carolyn, 18 years his junior. He put the fears of his dream behind him and began his new life with his new love. Only a year and a half later, he was suddenly diagnosed with AML, acute myeloid leukemia, a fast growing bone marrow cancer. He was given a poor prognosis and a short life expectancy, and was faced with the possibility of his nightmare becoming a reality. Written by his wife and caregiver, this is a heartfelt testament of love and sacrifice, and what two people endure when they know they have limited time left together. Ron Eckerman's career included touring with and managing popular music acts of the 70's including Fleetwood Mac, Humble Pie, Loggins and Messina, Foreigner, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and many others. He was Lynyrd Skynyrd's tour manager during 1976-77 and was a survivor of their plane crash in 1977. He was the author of Turn it Up! Love, Life, and Death, Southern Style, released in 2011 and re-released in his memory in 2014, in which he chronicled his time with the band and described the guilt that he felt for many years because of the deaths of four friends in the crash. During the most important "tour" of his life - his one year battle with leukemia - he was very close to death several times and bounced back miraculously. The odds were stacked up against him, but he continued to be optimistic and refused to give up hope. Ron and Carolyn learned to find joy in the simple things in life and made the best of being confined to a hospital room for almost a full year. This isn't just a cancer story with a sad ending. It's a story of dreams, destiny, living every second to the fullest, and never giving up hope. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Carolyn Day) Wed, 17 Jun 2015 06:37:15 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Last-Tour-Audiobook/B00ZRRTSG8 thebookvoice.com 08:27:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Where does The Last Tour rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? #1 - This is an incredible story. I read the book, too, several months ago, but when you hear the audio book it makes you focus on details you may have missed while reading. What other book might you compare The Last Tour to and why? I can't think of one that comes close to comparing. I am excited to see the movie when it comes out. What does Carol Purdom bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She did very well and it was very consistent. You can really feel the authors emotions and feelings. You feel like you know both the author and Ronnie by the end of the book. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? both laugh and cry, and made me feel like i was in a zone, very focused Any additional comments? I recommend it to anyone who has any feelings at all. It will bring out all your emotions and make you feel like you know the two main characters. Touching heartfelt love story This book keeps the readers attention. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/MC5s-Kick-Out-the-Jams-33-1-3-Series-Audiobook/B008LUTH1O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: MC5's 'Kick Out the Jams' (33 1/3 Series) Author: Don McLeese Narrator: L. J. Ganser Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 07-26-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: When the Motor City 5 stormed the stage, the band combined the kinetic flash of James Brown on acid with the raw musical dynamics of the Who gone berserk. Its a unique band that can land itself on the cover of Rolling Stone a month before the release of its debut album and then be booted from its record contract just a few months later. Rock had never before seen the likes of the MC5 and never will again. Many of us who were floored by the 5 in concert were convinced that this was the most transcendently pulverizing rock we would ever experience, while many more who heard or read about the band dismissed the 5 as a caricature, a fraud, White Panther bozos play-acting at revolution. There was always plenty of humor to the 5 - visionary knuckleheads - though the question was whether they were in on the joke. Frequently ridiculed during their short career, theyve since been hailed as a primal influence on everything from punk to metal to Rage Against the Machine to the Detroit populist resurgence of the White Stripes, Kid Rock, and Eminem. Editorial Reviews: From the first word of its narration, this audiobook is presented by L. J. Ganser with a voice more akin to a sports broadcaster than anything else. Influential to artists as diverse as Eminem and The White Stripes, Kick Out the Jams also had a profound effect on author Don McLeese. McLeese chronicles the band's short career, and ponders their unique blend of innovation and slapstick. Were they ahead of their time? Did they burn too hot? A mix of personal essay, music history, and accessible analysis, the audiobook contains fast-paced, engaging music writing. One of the book's highlights is the generous social, political, and cultural context the author gives to the history of MC5's music. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Don McLeese) Thu, 26 Jul 2012 17:18:25 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/MC5s-Kick-Out-the-Jams-33-1-3-Series-Audiobook/B008LUTH1O thebookvoice.com 03:05:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Rock had never before seen the likes of the MC5 and never will again. Many of us who were floored by the 5 in concert were convinced that this was the most transcendently pulverizing rock we would ever experience, while many more who heard or read about the band dismissed the 5 as a caricature, a fraud, White Panther bozos play-acting at revolution. There was always plenty of humor to the 5 - visionary knuckleheads - though the question was whether they were in on the joke. Frequently ridiculed during their short career, theyve since been hailed as a primal influence on everything from punk to metal to Rage Against the Machine to the Detroit populist resurgence of the White Stripes, Kid Rock, and Eminem. Editorial Reviews: From the first word of its narration, this audiobook is presented by L. J. Ganser with a voice more akin to a sports broadcaster than anything else. Influential to artists as diverse as Eminem and The White Stripes, Kick Out the Jams also had a profound effect on author Don McLeese. McLeese chronicles the band's short career, and ponders their unique blend of innovation and slapstick. Were they ahead of their time? Did they burn too hot? A mix of personal essay, music history, and accessible analysis, the audiobook contains fast-paced, engaging music writing. One of the book's highlights is the generous social, political, and cultural context the author gives to the history of MC5's music.

Members Reviews: A look at some of the things musicians go through Where does Another Nightmare Gig from Hell rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? There were some entertaining stories but it would have been better for me if I'd ever heard of any of the musicians. Who was your favorite character and why? I didn't have a favorite Have you listened to any of Richard Riemans other performances before? How does this one compare? No, I don't believe I've listened to Mr. Rieman before but his narration on this book was good so I wouldn't hesitate to listen to him in the future. Any additional comments? I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. William Scannell These stories are very believable, being a musician myself I have been in similar situations. I particularly like the Kev Ron story, #4 I think. A must read very entertaining! 5 stars. If you like music, you will like this book A very well written, behind the scenes look at music. I enjoyed this book very much, and feel like I have a better grasp of what goes on behind the stage. I received this book at no cost from the publisher author narrator for a honest review. my ONLY COMPLAINT My only complaint is I didn't want it to end!! the narrator did an excellent job & the story was great! I just wish it was longer!! I can't wait to hear more from this author & NARRATOR Real Stories of Bands and their Nightmares This was a very interesting collection of stories. As an artist, I have known my own collection of nightmare stories from being on the road but never imagined what could happen to bands as they traveled around the globe building their name and reputation. This was well worth the listen and well put together. Richard Rieman did a great job telling these stories and keeping the compilation flowing from one story to the next. His diction is clear. He's articulate and interesting to listen to. Nice job. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Dresden-Manuscripts-Audiobook/B016LAZZS4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: History, music, and a personal story The book moved right along: a window on the past in eastern Europe, insight into the life of an academic musician, historical notes on the baroque and classical periods in music, and a wonderful travel log. At times the author seemed to whine a bit, at others he tried to act the saint. The reader was not my favorite. But I still recommend this book, especially if you plan to visit Dresden or Vienna. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Beastie-Boys-Audiobook/B002VA92OC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: John Cage Subtitle: American Composers Author: David Nicholls Narrator: Tim Lundeen Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 05-01-12 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: As a composer, writer, and artist, John Cage was a giant of American experimental music. He is most widely known for his 1952 composition 4'33, whose three movements continue to challenge the definition of music by being performed without playing a single note. In questioning fundamental tenets of Western music, Cage was often at the center of controversy, and is regarded as an important contributor to many facets of American culture. To enable readers to understand what makes Cage such an extraordinary figure, David Nicholls masterfully places his striking body of prose and poetry, over 300 music compositions, and prominent performance career into historical, environmental, intellectual, philosophical, and aesthetic contexts. Nicholls' intimate study of John Cage's personal and professional life confirms the legacy of this major figure in 20th century American culture. Critic Reviews: "Nicholls offers a meticulously researched and beautifully crafted narrative that lays equal emphasis on Cage's personal and professional development." (Times Literary Supplement) "In this interesting and illuminating work, David Nicholls . . . chronicles and critiques the composer's life. This is an easily accessible and well-written overview of Cage's work." (Sydney Morning Herald) "Nicholls offers invaluable insights into the American cultural icon. . . Recommended."

Drawing upon American mainstream print media, broadcasts, albums, films, and videos, the study covers the band's career in the United States. Michael R. Frontani explores how the Beatles' media image evolved and how this transformation related to cultural and historical events. Upon their arrival in the U.S., the Beatles wore sharply tailored suits and cast themselves as adorable, accessible teen heartthrobs. By the end of the decade, they had absorbed the fashion and consciousness of the burgeoning counterculture and were using their interviews, media events, and music to comment on issues such as the Vietnam War, drug culture, and civil rights. Frontani traces the steps that led to this change and comments on how the band's mantra of essential optimism never wavered despite the evolution of its media profile. The book is published by University Press of Mississippi. Michael R. Frontani is associate professor of communications at Elon University. His work has appeared in American Journalism, Journal of American Culture, Journalism History, and African Studies Review. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Michael R.

Frontani Narrator: James Langton Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 03-16-12 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: The Beatles: Image and the Media charts the transformation of the Beatles from teen idols to leaders of the youth movement and powerful cultural agents. Drawing upon American mainstream print media, broadcasts, albums, films, and videos, the study covers the band's career in the United States. Michael R. Frontani explores how the Beatles' media image evolved and how this transformation related to cultural and historical events. Upon their arrival in the U.S., the Beatles wore sharply tailored suits and cast themselves as adorable, accessible teen heartthrobs. By the end of the decade, they had absorbed the fashion and consciousness of the burgeoning counterculture and were using their interviews, media events, and music to comment on issues such as the Vietnam War, drug culture, and civil rights. Frontani traces the steps that led to this change and comments on how the band's mantra of essential optimism never wavered despite the evolution of its media profile. The book is published by University Press of Mississippi. Michael R. Frontani is associate professor of communications at Elon University. His work has appeared in American Journalism, Journal of American Culture, Journalism History, and African Studies Review. Members Reviews: An Academic Thesis On Beatles Media With A Re-Tell This book is less interesting for the Beatles story, which has been re-told countless times and better served in Tune In by Mark Lewisohn, which was published after this book. What is more interesting are the tidbits of information that we get about how the media culture at the time reacted to the Beatles. Unfortunately, the book is mostly padded with the Beatles story with not enough media reaction. The narration was good, but nothing in the book really grabbed me. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Sex-Pistols-Audiobook/B002V1C50Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Excellent read. Loved it! Great story. Superb narration. Felt like a roadie along for the historical musical journey. Interesting perspective from a drummer's view. Liked how historical events were chronicled along the ride. The introduction to famous musicians and workings of band road trips was exciting Could Have Been Much Better This book should have and could have been much better. Narration was irritating and the intentional use of background sounds(noise) was distracting. Not enough about the music and too much about drugs and alcohol...."I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Blast." https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/On-My-Way-Audiobook/B00FEJL7L8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

"Bring my goat!" Porgy exclaims in the final scene of Gershwins opera Porgy and Bess. Bess, whom he loves, has left for New York City, and hes determined to find her. When his request is met with astonishment - New York is a great distance from South Carolinas Catfish Row - Porgy remains undaunted. He mounts his goat-cart and leads the community in an ecstatic finale, "Oh Lawd, Im on my way." Stephen Sondheim has called "Bring my goat!" "one of the most moving moments in musical theater history." For years it was assumed that DuBose Heyward - the author of the seminal novella and subsequent play, Porgy, and later the librettist for the opera Porgy and Bess - penned this historic line. In fact, both it and "Oh Lawd, I'm on my way" were added to the play eight years earlier by that productions unheralded architect: Rouben Mamoulian. Porgy and Bess as we know it would not exist without the contributions of this master director. Culling new information from the recently opened Mamoulian Archives at the Library of Congress, award-winning author Joseph Horowitz shows that, more than anyone else, Mamoulian took Heyward's vignette of a regional African-American subculture and transformed it into an epic theater work, a universal parable of suffering and redemption.

Members Reviews: Rouben Mamoulin Gets Credit!!! This is great story of the history of Porgy and Bess and all who were part of that original production. The author gives much credit to the director Rouben Mamoulin and his part in the growth of the production from its early stages as a play to its rise as a full operatic production. This is a good history on the history of African-American performers and their struggles as serious performers of opera and theater performers. The author continues with the later troubled film version of the work. The director is the star of this book. Heartbreaker Sounded like it would be thrilling but it was really very few facts and points of view that are repeated endlessly. The only truly worthwhile aspect was to have the entire "sound" opening of Act 3 transcribed. Needed more Mamoulian and less Gershwin. Anyone who would buy this book is likely to know EVERYTHING that he writes about Gershwin. wait until the price is very low and only if you are really interested. Fascinating Wonderful book about Mamoulian, Broadway, Hollywood, many notable characters and, of course, Gershwin. It may need some careful editing in that it becomes quite redundant at times, but I recommend it for fans of Gershwin and "Porgy" in particular. A New Perspactive Somewhat academic but fascinatingly detailed slant on the Mamoulian/Gershwin connection and collaboration as well as insights into their separate careers and impacts on American theatre and music. A bit too academic for my taste âOn My Wayâ: the Untold Story of Rouben Mamoulian, George Gershwin, and Porgy and Bessâ is a curious book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Amazing-Classical-Musicians-Volume-1-Audiobook/B003XO5KPA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

For millions of fans spanning several generations across the world, they are an ear-bleedingly loud, sweat-soaked religion, courtesy of such classic albums as Highway to Hell and Back in Black. Now, in a book of astonishing breadth and scope, comes, for the very first time, the complete story of AC/DC. Everything you ever wanted to know and plenty more you never dreamt of is all here, the ultimate balls-out adventure, laced with sex, drunken escapades, and brawls. It's a journey that started in the suburban Sydney, Australia, bedrooms of brothers Malcolm and Angus Young, boys who could wreak havoc with their guitars. Over their power chords were the lyrics and voice of Bon Scott, who would lead them higher and higher-until his tragic death in 1980. The bittersweet irony after his death was that not only did the Youngs manage to hold together without him, but the band's fortunes and status skyrocketed with his replacement, Brian Johnson, and the album Back in Black. Five long years in the making, AC/DC: Maximum Rock & Roll is sourced from more than 1,300 interviews the band has given over the past thirty years combined with in excess of 75 of the authors' own interviews with those who worked with AC/DC - both in the studio and on the road - many of whom have never spoken about the band publicly. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Murray Englehart) Mon, 01 Mar 2010 14:00:48 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/AC-DC-Maximum-Rock-Roll-Audiobook/B003AL863E thebookvoice.com 17:30:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Long but worth it. A true testament of how four boys, Malcolm, Angus, Phil and Bon took on the world in their own way and left it screaming for more. This is a great book that is well overdue. A little too long due to the many, many, many show stories that could have been cut down, this made it a bit much at times but the shear story does keep you engaged. A great listen even if you aren't a fan of the band. What a fan-bloody-tastic listen... I have just finished this title and am very glad I purchased it. Having to date been an 'on the fence' ACDC fan, not an obsessive one, I wasn't sure if I should listen to this or not. So glad I did! I didn't realise how much the boys were 'before their time'. How driven and focused (Malcolm and Angus) had been from their youth towards their goal of creating 'real rock'. The behind the scenes info and background on their ups and downs, only makes you realise how incredibly hard they worked for their sucess, with many losses on the way. RIP Bon Scott! What a talent you were (and remain). I have been busy buying up a few more of the back cataloge albums that I didn't have, and enjoying the tracks with a new appreciation, knowing the the stories behind the songs now. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/New-Order-Audiobook/B002V5H5EG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Born from the ashes of Joy Division after Ian Curtis' suicide, New Order began playing together as a full band in October of 1980. Hitting the big time in the UK with the single Blue Monday, New Order then enjoyed over a decade of hits. Even though they've had a tumultuous history in the past two decades, New Order has earned a place in the rock canon. Cross' upbeat and intelligent guide is a great introduction to this enduring band. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Alan Cross) Mon, 31 Aug 2009 18:21:00 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/New-Order-Audiobook/B002V5H5EG thebookvoice.com 00:16:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Afghan Whigs' 'Gentlemen' (33 1/3 Series) Author: Bob Gendron Narrator: David Marantz Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 07-26-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: Like no record before or since, Gentlemen is fraught with the psychological warfare, bedroom drama, Catholic guilt, reprehensible deception, and shame that coincide with relationships gone seriously wrong. Its seemingly thick skin is rife with argument, infection, claustrophobia, temptation, accusation, illness, addiction, blood, scourge, and spite. And then there's the music. Singer Greg Dulli's liquor-cabinet confessions are chased with some of the blackest-sounding rock ever committed to tape by a white band. Hopped-up on primal energy, the mesmerizing R&B, funk, slide-blues, garage, and chamber-pop strains are tied to a come-hither soulfulness perfumed with hyssop and stained with nicotine. To this day, Gentlemen remains as cursed as its controversial narrator, an album out of time even in its time. Released in October 1993, when grunge ruled the world, it sold far less than works by most "alternative" bands of the day. Despite glowing reviews and feverish tour support, Gentlemen faded from view--and yet it remains dearly beloved to almost everyone who's heard it. Drawing on new, in-depth interviews with all of the band members, Bob Gendron dissects the record's charisma, arrangements and lyrics. He also delves into the memories, histories, experiences and influences of the Afghan Whigs, most notably those driving Dulli, a polarizing frontman whose fierce pretentiousness, GQ appearance and gloves-off boisterousness concealed deep-rooted mental depression and chemical dependency. Editorial Reviews: This is an especially entertaining nonfiction book from the series 33 1/3, in which Bob Gendron writes about the album Gentlemen, by the Afghan Whigs. The audiobook explores the band's controversial history - adored by some, hated by others - and their relatively obscurity today, except to loyal fans. How did this happen after such amazing initial success? Using interviews with band member as well as his own insightful input on narrative, lyrics, and musicianship, Gendron brings new eyes and a fascinating perspective to this high-energy, high drama album. The narration is done by David Marantz, in whose drawling voice listeners will detect an honest enjoyment of the book's subject matter. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Bob Gendron) Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:46:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Afghan-Whigs-Gentlemen-33-1-3-Series-Audiobook/B008L47U2S thebookvoice.com 03:41:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Impressive Would you consider the audio edition of Afghan Whigs' 'Gentlemen' (33 1/3 Series) to be better than the print version? Gendron's write up takes an under-rated album and turns it into a great listening experience. Duli comes alive in this story and his supporting crew all have their characters accurately conveyed in this well-researched narrative. For those of you who like the 33 and 1/3 Series stories that actually are about the artists instead of the writer, this is your book. I always thought that Black Love was the Whig's best album. I owned and listened to Gentlemen but was unconvinced of it being genius. Until this audiobook. Now I see it differently. Through interviews and media reports, Gendron puts you in the mind's of Duli and the rest of the band. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/All-the-Things-You-Are-Audiobook/B008RA8BK6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Informative and sometimes sketchy This book is no substitute for Tony Bennett's own memoir,The Good Life: The Autobiography Of Tony Bennett, but it offers things from a perspective not found in Bennett's book. The author is at times obsequious and then changes and offers up some first-person gossip from a Bennett insider. The book needed some editorial help. Very often I found myself rereading lines trying to resolve an unclear antecedent. The book is not indexed and has only a woefully inadequate discography. I had to laugh at all the albums marked "unavailable" in the discography, because at about the same time this book was issued, Columbia released a 73 CD + 3 DVD set containing nearly all of Bennett's recorded work:Tony Bennett: the Complete Collection. Now that's a true masterwork. Great Book - One of it's kind All The Things You Are is without a doubt the best book ever written on Tony Bennett. I've waited a long time for a book like this to come into print. There's the book Bennett co-wrote with Will Friedwald. The Good Life: The Autobiography Of Tony Bennett, but it doesn't really say anything - it mainly reminds us that Bennett is a really nice guy. We already knew that. What immediately comes across in Evanier's book is his fascination and affection for Italian-American crooners. You can tell that Evanier not only writes about the subject of crooners, but is also a huge fan. It's clear that no one put Evanier up to the task of writing this book. He had to write it. His enthusiasm and his easy to read writing style makes All The Things You Are a delectable treat. I think I read it in two days. It was so enjoyable I almost wanted to eat it afterwards. As in his other books Evanier gets to the heart of Bennett. We see how Bennett surrounded himself with great musicians and insisted on recording quality material. Evanier writes that Bennett's musical style was informed first under the directorship of the innovative jazz guitarist, Chuck Wayne and then later under the pianist Ralph Sharon. Moving away from the crooner pop songs that made him famous, Bennett's used his success to evolve into one of the all-time great jazz singers. I was surprised to learn about his failed marriages, struggles with addiction, and his (what?) volcanic temper. But at least we now know that Bennett is human. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Looking-for-Lady-Dee-A-Punk-Rock-Mystery-Audiobook/B015NHPVJO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Looking for Lady Dee: A Punk Rock Mystery Author: Johnny Angel Wendell Narrator: Johnny Angel Wendell, Desiree Duffy Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 09-22-15 Publisher: x+z publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: Looking for Lady Dee is a one-of-a-kind story paralleling the career of a second-wave punk band (Thrills) with the disappearance of one of its fans. The story of the late 70s, early 80s popular music scene is the backdrop. Author Johnny Angel Wendell tells all with pinpoint accuracy and wicked detail. Lurid, vivid, and relentless in its descriptions of rock music's unholy triumvirate (sex, drugs, and the music itself) from an author who lived it and survived, and his cohorts, many of whom did not. The author recounts, as the 23-year-old Johnny Angel, his history in the movement as a sullen, surly squirt leaning very much on negative charisma and impulsive street smarts to get ahead in the demi-monde of Punk/New Wave. And the disappearance of his love, a very good girl gone very bad, Ms. Dee McClain. As the 50-something Johnny Angel Wendell, he's contacted online by Ms. McClain's best friend from the same music scene, Linda "Vivienne DeMilo" Boudreaux, and together they piece together Dee's story through hard work and a bit of old fashioned chicanery. What happened to their mutual friend leads them to places they never dreamed existed - and in many ways, they thought they'd seen it all! Inspired by writers like Raymond Chandler, Lester Bangs, Bukowski and Dennis Lehane, Looking for Lady Dee is not another middle-aged lookback at a wasted youth, but a hard-nosed twisting and turning tome of discovery and resolution. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Johnny Angel Wendell) Tue, 22 Sep 2015 06:58:48 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Looking-for-Lady-Dee-A-Punk-Rock-Mystery-Audiobook/B015NHPVJO thebookvoice.com 04:58:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Looking for a fun read? Then start with Looking for Lady Dee! If you are looking for one of those plastic rock and roller autobiographies, look elsewhere. But if you are looking for a very fun read, then Looking for Lady Dee is one to pick up. Wendell tells the story as if he were a modern day bard spinning you a tale you wonât soon forget. The vivid descriptions, from the hole in the walls the leading character would stay at to the dingy dark rooms his band, the Thrills, played at, you soon feel like you are actually there. And the characters, like I said, you will feel transported there, and the characters will feel so real, that you will (by the end of the book) get to really like and hate some of them (like the infamous Nick Rowland). Looking For Lady Dee is really a two-for-one deal here. Youâre not just getting what it was like to be a punk rocker, where you see what it was like to have a band in the heydays of punk in the late 70âs to the early 80âs, you also get a mystery tale thrown in revolving around the fate of a former lover/band mate. The whole book actually takes place in the present and in the past, where the various points in time connect, which I have to say this is hard to do without easily screwing up the whole story, but the author manages to pull it off exceedingly well. The author is actually a prolific writer of both articles and song. It now looks like heâs entered the realm of books. Johnny Angel Wendell, this reader hopes you donât get lazy and stop writing more tales. Looking forward to see what else that chaotic cauldron of creativity comes up with next. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Legends-of-Music-The-Life-and-Legacy-of-Kurt-Cobain-Audiobook/B00WT4IEEE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Legends of Music: The Life and Legacy of Kurt Cobain Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Rhiannon Angell Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 04-29-15 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: "It's really not hard to keep your dignity and sign to a major label.... Most people don't have any dignity in the first place." - Kurt Cobain The dark and dusty high school gymnasium seemed like a weird place for a musical revolution. The cheerleaders look like mannequins, and the bleacher bums look like they haven't taken a bath in years. A janitor looks like he's adding to the mess instead of cleaning it up. As the music starts slowly, the crowd is still asleep. But as the tempo and volume of the music gradually increase until the chorus is unleashed at full force, the crowd transforms into a head-banging mob full of crowd surfers. In the middle of it all is Kurt Cobain, the dirty blond who could have been mistaken for one of the crowd if he wasn't holding a guitar. The song and the music video both end in full-throated chaos as the frontman for Nirvana and the crowd start ripping up the gym. Cobain later noted that he tried to model the song after one The Pixies might have done, but "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and its accompanying music video ushered in rock's "grunge" movement at the start of the 1990s. The song, ironically named after a deodorant, captured the culture in its entirety. A reaction to the likes of the previous decade's yuppies and acts like M.C. Hammer, grunge became a sound and culture for angst-ridden teens and the disaffected youth who were proud to be plain. Combining punk, metal, and hard rock, the grunge sound emanated out of Seattle from groups like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains, giving the young decade its trademark sound. Whether these groups intended for it or not, grunge became the most popular music of the decade, and the look and sound both became trendy fads. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Charles River Editors) Wed, 29 Apr 2015 01:04:55 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Legends-of-Music-The-Life-and-Legacy-of-Kurt-Cobain-Audiobook/B00WT4IEEE thebookvoice.com 01:18:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Lucy in the Mind of Lennon Author: Tim Kasser Narrator: Derek Perkins Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 03-11-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: Since John Lennon composed "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" in early 1967, fans and music critics alike have argued over the meaning of the song. Is it about drugs? Is it just a lyrical response to a drawing given Lennon by his 4-year-old son Julian? Is there some deeper meaning? Professor Tim Kasser goes beyond speculative explanations by applying innovative psychological methods to the song's lyrics and music. He deeply analyzes the song's linguistic structure, its basic theme, and the way its words and music had been used by Lennon in earlier songs. As the findings accumulate, Kasser weaves them together with the facts of Lennon's life and established psychological theories to provide an integrative (and sometimes surprising) perspective on the psychological processes that led Lennon to write "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". Kasser goes on to follow the unfolding of these personal dynamics in later Lennon songs like "I Am the Walrus", "Yer Blues", and "Working Class Hero". No other work has so closely examined this period of Lennon's life with such a sophisticated psychological approach. Kasser's methods and perspective point to the usefulness of scientific psychology for understanding why a particular person does a particular thing at a particular time, at the same time that they shed new light on this fascinating and controversial man. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Tim Kasser) Tue, 11 Mar 2014 08:20:60 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Lucy-in-the-Mind-of-Lennon-Audiobook/B00I2TMEPU thebookvoice.com 03:27:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Fascinating, sometimes frustrating, but always thought-provoking In this study of "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds", author Tim Kasser applies psychology & statistical analysis (among other fields) to John Lennon's wistfully soaring, surreal song. It's indeed a form of psychobiography, in this case using one specific facet of Lennon's creative & personal life to examine what events & influences led to the song, what intense emotions it grappled with, and how these things reveal themselves in other songs as well. The key event, of course, is the traumatic death of John's mother Julia when he was a young teen. As any Beatles fan knows, both the pain of that loss & the yearning for her comforting presence in her unchangeable absence informs many of John's songs. Kasser delves into attachment theory, repression of personal pain, and the ways in which that pain insists on making itself felt anyway. In John's case, it was both in his personality (more often negatively) & in his creative work, which could express & artistically transmute that pain in a socially acceptable way for John. My only caveat? I think Kasser tends to be a bit more reductive in his analysis than I'd prefer -- and this is simply my own personality speaking, nothing more than that! Several noted psychoanalytical names appear in the index, including that of Freud; and all of them deservedly so for Kasser's approach. The missing name is that of Jung -- it seems to me that an examination of Anima images in John's songs would have added yet another dimension to this otherwise smart, engaging book. But again, that's just me. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Unpopular-Culture-Audiobook/B074JHW7F3 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Unpopular Culture Author: Guvna B Narrator: Guvna B Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 08-04-17 Publisher: SPCK, Spokenworld Audio & Ladbroke Audio Ltd Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: Money is the key to happiness. Work hard, play hard. Look out for number one. Popular culture is full of phrases like these, telling us the best way to live, the right things to buy, the right body shape to have, the right people to hang out with. These messages are everywhere we look, 24 hours a day. But what if there was another way to live? What if we chose to live differently: to stand against injustice, to live life for more than just ourselves, to dare to be unpopular? Guvna B is rebelling against the status quo, and he's calling you to join him. It's time to flip the script, to demonstrate another way to live, to find freedom in going against the grain. It's time for unpopular culture to take the stage. Guvna B is a double MOBO award-winning grime/rap artist from London. He became the first rapper in UK history to top the Official Christian & Gospel charts. He holds mainstream records, too, with his album Secret World being the highest selling 'clean' rap album in 2015. As well as sharing stages with the likes of Tinie Tempah, Wretch 32, Kirk Franklin and Lecrae, his story has been covered by the BBC, Sky News, and Channel 4. He has worked with artists such as Matt Redman, Hillsong Music, Nick Brewer, Destiny's Child's Michelle Williams and Keisha Buchanan. In creating output, the business & journalism graduate draws from his faith, personal experiences and observations made while living in and around the gritty and fast-paced streets of London. Guvna B, an avid West Ham fan, hopes to inspire young people to reach their full God-given potential.

I love books and the experience of reading books and till today my encounters with audio books have taken away from my ability to immerse myself, so I stay away. The narrators voice is always important in reading and its easier to do so yourself, create a voice that matches your vibration and flow with it. But, and this is the type of but you find in the bible before God does something great. Today I decided to give this one a listen, whilst I was debating if I would actually purchase an audiobook and I was captured. the pace and tone was so soothing I had to get it. I was on my way to the park to spend time with God and figured once I got there I would turn it off but I couldnt my spirit wouldnt let me.My time with God was aided by this audiobook. I laughed and I cried and got answers to questions I was seeking Gods face for. I was truly blessed by this book and Im grateful I let the spirit of God lead me to it and to Guvna for challenging his comfort zones and allowing God to stretch him in this way. 5 Star! Awesome! Would recommend to absolutely anyone! KB is a brilliant writer and narrator.

Title: Elliott Carter (American Composers) Author: James Wierzbicki Narrator: Tim Lundeen Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 06-29-12 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: This compact introduction to the life and works of composer Elliott Carter provides a fresh perspective on one of the most significant American composers of the 20th and 21st centuries. A leading voice of the American classical music tradition and a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Music, Carter was initially encouraged to become a composer by Charles Ives, and he went on to learn from Walter Piston at Harvard University and Nadia Boulanger in Paris. Drawing on Carter's voluminous writings and compositions, James Wierzbicki provides a clear discussion of Carter's evolving understanding of musical time and the influence of film on his work. Celebrating his 100th birthday in 2008 by premiering a number of new compositions, Carter has been a powerful presence on the American new music scene, an important connection to American music's foundational figures, and a dynamic force in its continuing evolution. Critic Reviews: "Thoroughly researched and accessible to the lay reader, the book will intrigue readers who wish to deepen their appreciation of this legendary composer." (Library Journal) "A gratifying success. The story of Elliott Carter's life and work is succinctly told and is one that specialists and non-experts alike can read with great profit."

A leading voice of the American classical music tradition and a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Music, Carter was initially encouraged to become a composer by Charles Ives, and he went on to learn from Walter Piston at Harvard University and Nadia Boulanger in Paris. Drawing on Carter's voluminous writings and compositions, James Wierzbicki provides a clear discussion of Carter's evolving understanding of musical time and the influence of film on his work. Celebrating his 100th birthday in 2008 by premiering a number of new compositions, Carter has been a powerful presence on the American new music scene, an important connection to American music's foundational figures, and a dynamic force in its continuing evolution. Critic Reviews: "Thoroughly researched and accessible to the lay reader, the book will intrigue readers who wish to deepen their appreciation of this legendary composer." (Library Journal) "A gratifying success. The story of Elliott Carter's life and work is succinctly told and is one that specialists and non-experts alike can read with great profit."

(Arnold Whittall, author of Exploring Twentieth-Century Music: Tradition and Innovation) Members Reviews: Unambitious, but informative The public needs a more recent overview of Elliott Carter's immense career, but since the composer is still going strong after his 100th birthday, authors may fear that any effort they publish will immediately be out of date. As far as I know, the sole attempt as I write this is James Wierzbicki's book on Carter, part of the University of Illinois Press series American Composers. The series allows the author precisely 100 pages of text (sans footnotes and index), so this is not a detailed analysis of the composer's works, and thus not competing with David Schiff'sThe Music of Elliott Carter(which I'd really like to see in a third edition). Rather, Wierzbicki sets out to sketch the arc of his career -- neoclassical youth, complex and aggressively modernist mature period, and prolific if somewhat lightweight old age. The only works that Wierzbicki really discusses in detail are the Piano Sonata (1945-46), the Sonata for Cello and Piano (1948) and the String Quartet No. 1 (1951) and the String Quartet No. 2 (195), since these are the turning point where Carter established a distinctive style. Even here, however, Wierzbicki does not present any examples from the scores, and his focus is on Carter's establishment of a new aesthetic, not the individual works. Even if Wierzbicki wasn't given much room to work with, and so his comments must be to some degree general, this is still a useful book for fans of composers because of its large bibliography. Wierzbicki cites a great deal of critical response to Carter that I wasn't aware of, such as Taruskin ripping into him as some kind of abstract elitist, and Ned Rorem offering some surprising fraternal recognition. Wierzbicki also admits that Carter's very late pieces are not of the same quality as his work up to the "Symphonia", an opinion I share but which I had not yet seen in writing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Nirvana-Audiobook/B002V0TK2Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: American Legends: The Life of Billie Holiday Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Edith Moulson Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 07-24-15 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: "Don't threaten me with love, baby, let's just go walking in the rain" (Billie Holiday) A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. If Billie Holiday wanted to become a jazz singer, she chose the best of all eras in which to attempt it. A wave of great jazz and jazz/pop crossover artists swept over the United States from the 1920s through the 1950s, generating a golden age for the genre. This wondrous jazz era represented both black and white master artists, men, women, vocalists, and instrumentalists, and Billie Holiday has stood the test of time as well as any of them, despite struggling with an environment that easily could have doomed such aspirations. Emerging from such a powerful group of talented vocalists was not easy. The woman who has come to represent a model of great, instinctive jazz singing came from nowhere, had nothing, and virtually had no one who was truly helpful in her background. She was raw and untrained, but went forward, regardless, with limited and quirky vocal gifts, the likes of which had never been heard in the highest circles of jazz. This especially was true among women, where perfection of phrasing and a smooth style of delivery stood as the unspoken guidelines of vocal success. No female counterpart of Louis Armstrong, one of Holiday's idols, was ever going to survive in the female jazz world for long, except perhaps as a novelty. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Charles River Editors) Fri, 24 Jul 2015 20:57:21 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/American-Legends-The-Life-of-Billie-Holiday-Audiobook/B012DSW964 thebookvoice.com 01:38:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Anybody else catch the Charles Osgood files on the CBS Radio Network today about this famed jazz singer? I had just started this book yesterday and finished this morning before heading into work which made it all the more remarkable when I heard tell of a brief mention of her on the radio as I was driving. Such a short, tragic life so full of promise but marred by poverty, rape, alcohol and heroin addiction. Glad she is still getting some recognition today and I plan on going home this evening and listening to more of her musical works including "Strange Fruit" , "Lover Man" and "Crazy He Calls Me" among others. One quote from 'Lady Day' I liked before I start the work day, "I'm always making a comeback, but nobody ever tells me where I've been." Very good book! The woman, the legend! An amazing account of her life. She was exceptional and yet so sad. If she wasn't being hurt she couldn't proform and this lead to the end of her life. Such a shame for the world to lose that beautiful voice. An awesome read. easy read - insightful history Painful, enlightening, insightful. She never knew the impact she had. The respect and influence was mostly realized after her death. Good read Love these books, they give one a grounding on the subject including all relevant facts with out being too long. This book is another great example, interesting reading American Legends: The Life of Billie Holiday Great summary of a unique artist. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Gutbucket-King-Audiobook/B00JEEB3KE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Gutbucket King Author: Barry Yeoman Narrator: Rob Cleveland Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 04-02-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: In the 1950s, at the age of 14, Little Freddie King hopped a southbound freight train in McComb, Mississippi, fleeing the life of a sharecroppers son in what was then the "worst part of the most intransigent state" in Jim Crow-era Dixie. Landing in New Orleans, he taught himself to play blues guitar, then found work performing at the citys corner nightclubs, including one nicknamed the Bucket of Blood for its nightly eruptions of violence. Dodging bullets and drinking with abandon, he became a fixture in the subterranean blues scene. He played a time-breaking, low-down style of blues borne of a life of struggle, and followed a self-destructive course that ensured he never ran out of material. That is, until one drunken night, when his knife-wielding wife attacked him in a jealous rage, one of several brushes with tragedy that would change his life forever. Barry Yeoman, an award-winning journalist who began his career as a newspaper reporter in South Louisiana, first met King while making the 2009 radio documentary Still Singing the Blues. Since then, Yeoman has spent dozens of hours interviewing the bluesman, his friends and family. The result is an intimate and colorful portrait of one of New Orleans cultural treasures. Yeoman chronicles Kings journey from picking cotton in rural Mississippi to playing guitar on some of the worlds biggest stages, from spirit-seeing teenager who arrived in New Orleans with "not nary a copper cent" in his bib overalls to a self-effacing septuagenarian at the peak of his musical career - and one of the Crescent Citys last great country bluesmen. Its a story about music, migration, race, faith, and resilience, and about the deepest of the Deep South during seven decades of profound upheaval. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Barry Yeoman) Wed, 02 Apr 2014 20:42:09 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Gutbucket-King-Audiobook/B00JEEB3KE thebookvoice.com 01:25:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A wonderful piece of storytelling "After a lifetime of struggle, he is at the peak of his career," Barry Yeoman writes near the start of this short e-book, which explores the rise of the bluesman Little Freddie King. And if you're looking to find out how King ascended to that peak, there's no better purchase than "The Gutbucket King." Beautifully-written, deftly-plotted, and alternately tragic and ribald and darkly hilarious, "The Gutbucket King" is the kind of music writing that will stand the test of time. Highly recommended. Last note: At the risk of inciting the wrath of the Amazon gods, you may be better off purchasing the multimedia version â that way you can listen to Freddie while you read about him. Longform journalism at its best The images are indelible: Young Freddie making his first guitar out of a wooden cigar box and a pine board torn from a picket fence. Teenage Freddie crouched, waiting for an open boxcar to make his escape from a brutal and segregated McComb, Mississippi -- what Bob Moses called "the worst part of the most intransigent state" in the South. Little Freddie King on his back, muddy boots up in the air, with clods falling down on a borrowed guitar, as the guitar's owner looked on in consternation and Freddie played "I Believe My Time Ain't Long." What I love about Barry Yeoman's writing is that it doesn't matter what the subject is (nor how dark it is), what my knowledge level of the subject is, what kind of mood I'm in when I start to read it: I leave Barry's writing feeling enlightened. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Piano-Demon-Audiobook/B009HVMC1I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I first became aware of Mr. Weather ford will reading Langston Hughes' "I wonder as I wander" (also on audible) and wanted to know why I had not heard of him before. Recordings and information on him turned out to pretty elusive. This book, although too short, is the most comprehensive biography I've been able to find to date.

Cross succeeds once again in revealing the fascinating history behind the music in the same compelling way we've come to expect from his long broadcasting career. Rock on: listen to another . ©2009 Alan Cross; (P)2009 HarperCollins Canada Editorial Reviews: Alan Cross, beloved radio broadcaster and documenter of all things rock presents an artist profile of the band Green Day as part of his Alan Cross Guide to Alternative Rock audiobook series.

I am a Green Day fan. Have been for years, but I was always just listening to the music. I didn't know much about the band members until listened to this. What did you like best about this story? The straightforward facts presented in a way that made you pay close attention. Learning things I didn't know before. What about Alan Crosss performance did you like? He is a very clear speaker and his presentation of the book was great. I couldn't find any fault with his narration. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No. Its really not the type of book that brings out emotions in a person. Non-Fiction works usually are not emotional at all to me. Any additional comments? A must listen short piece for any fan of Green Day or Punk music. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Smashing-Pumpkins-Audiobook/B002UZYSOM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Gene Autry and Roy Rogers Subtitle: America's Two Favorite Singing Cowboys Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Kelly Rhodes Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 06-04-15 Publisher: Charles River Editors Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: "Music has been the better part of my career. Movies are wonderful fun and they give you a famous face. But how the words and melody are joined, how they come together out of air and enter the mind, this is art. Songs are forever." (Gene Autry) "I did pretty good for a guy who never finished high school and used to yodel at square dances." (Roy Rogers) In the early 20th century, Westerns were one of the most popular genres in Hollywood. One of the young stars at the forefront was Gene Autry, a Texan whose life story made him a natural to be the country's most famous "singing cowboy". Autry would become a symbol of masculinity and morality on screen during the 1930s, but it was effortless for someone who had already grown up riding horses to school. Autry came of age at a time when the "singing cowboy" was at the apex of his popularity, and like his most famous successor, Roy Rogers, Autry actually got his start in show business as a singer. Even today, Autry might be best known for being a pioneer of country music and the author of Christmas hits "Here Comes Santa Claus", "Frosty the Snowman", and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer". Autry would produce hundreds of recordings during his life, helping ensure the popularity of the country music genre and earning inductions into several related halls of fame. Of course, the popularity of Autry's music and country music in general was bolstered by the fact that he became one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. After he was discovered in 1934, Autry made dozens of films and was still one of the industry's biggest moneymakers when he went off to fight in World War II. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Charles River Editors) Thu, 04 Jun 2015 21:24:33 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Gene-Autry-and-Roy-Rogers-Audiobook/B00YSN1PL8 thebookvoice.com 01:53:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Any additional comments? I loved these old re-runs of stories of the old west, singing songs and pretty woman and to read about there lives was a real pleasure to me. The only issue was that each man gets about an hour of time and I bet several hours could have easily been filled up. Roy was the best because of all he had to over-come in life and still was a really good man and fine Christian example as both of these men seemed to be. I loved the book, but wished it was way longer. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Neil-Young-and-the-Poetics-of-Energy-Audiobook/B00BGSPCWG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Neil Young and the Poetics of Energy Subtitle: Musical Meaning and Interpretation Author: William Echard Narrator: Michael Giorgio Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 02-19-13 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: As a writer in Wired magazine puts it, Neil Young is a "folk-country-grunge dinosaur [who has been] reborn (again) as an Internet-friendly, biodiesel-driven, multimedia machine." In Neil Young and the Poetics of Energy, William Echard stages an encounter between Young's challenging and ever-changing work and current theories of musical meaning - an encounter from which both emerge transformed. Echard roots his discussion in an extensive review of writings from the rock press as well as his own engagement as a fan and critical theorist. How is it that Neil Young is both a perpetual outsider and critic of rock culture, and also one of its most central icons? And what are the unique properties that have lent his work such expressive force? Echard delves into concepts of musical persona, space, and energy, and in the process illuminates the complex interplay between experience, musical sound, social actors, genres, styles, and traditions. Listeners interested primarily in Neil Young, or rock music in general, will find a new way to think and talk about the subject, and readers interested primarily in musical or cultural theory will find a new way to articulate and apply some of the most exciting current perspectives on meaning, music, and subjectivity. The book is published by Indiana University Press. Critic Reviews: "This book uniquely and successfully sustains a cohesive analysis of the work, career, and reception of a single artist. That the artist is Neil Young, one of the most confounding and mysterious of rock stars, is an added bonus. Finally someone will explain what's been going on all these years!"

(Daniel Cavicchi, author of Tramps Like Us: Music and Meaning Among Springsteen Fans) Members Reviews: Five Stars it's in my collection!!! Easier to hear than read! Being as this is a critical study of the guy, hearing the narration really colors and gives life to the text. The narrator sounds like he's a fan, but doesn't sound like he's editorializing on the author's intent. Actually, the author provides a pretty unbiased view of an artist who's always changing his skin to suit the times. Learned some stuff I never knew before...and that's saying something...I've been a fan for years. Not rock criticism, but a good academic study of a rock musician Like Susan Fast's Led Zep book, Echard's book about Neil Young is a book by a college professor that is published by an academic publisher. It's an academic study. There are lots of footnotes. So I hate to see this book criticized by reviewers for being what it is, an academic study. It is not for everyone. It is not INTENDED for everyone. Once you realize that it defends highly original ideas about how guitar solos are meaningful artistic gestures, you can appreciate it for what it tries to be (semiotic analysis) and not what you might hope it is (rock criticism). And it's damn fine semiotic analysis. I don't give it five stars because it doesn't give equal time to all phases of Neil Young's career. A Fabulous Book I'm a student at Carleton University in Ottawa Ontario where Dr. Echard teaches and I have to say that this book is an excellent tool for students of musical theory. I understand the reservations that others have for the book's readability as it does convey many of Dr. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Cure-Audiobook/B002VAEP9O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In this installment of the series, Cross talks expertly about Robert Smith and his band The Cure, who are "the messiahs of melancholy" but with a pop twist, a recipe that led to the sale of over 27 million albums. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/John-Lennon-Audiobook/B002V0PNS6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Outstanding I have been listening to this story every morning for the past month on my way to work through the centre of liverpool. I pass the Cavern, the statue of John and the seat dedicated to Eleanor Rigby. The combination is absolutely magical. The narration is clear and correctly paced and the story told in such detail that 40 years of life needs to be spread over 2 unabridged volumes. I would thoroughly recommend this audiobook to anyone who, like me, missed out on this generation. Perfect I loved this audiobook, from the first minute to last. An unbelievable detailed and informative biography of the messed up genius. Listening to this has rekindled my love for the music of the best band ever . Wonderful biography beautifully read I have always loved The Beatles but was never that much of a Lennon fan - particularly his solo/Plastic Ono work. And I don't know why I downloaded this book. But I'm so delighted I did. It's more than a personal history, it's a social, political and cultural history too, beautifully written and fast-paced - despite its size. Thankfully it's no fan-worship either. Lennon is portrayed as a cruel, nasty, spiteful, self-centred piece of work. But also a man who could be generous, charming, funny, talented and a forceful free-thinker. A compelling person who could enthral and appal in equal measure. Phillip Norman has clearly made a herculean effort with his research. His writing is fresh, entertaining and crackles along. Although there are a couple of moments when he lunges into extremes "It was surely the most (whatever the circumstance).... in the history of the world ever.'' Russell Boulter's reading is sublime. He uses a variety of voices (I love his Aunt Mimi & Paul McCartney - and he even has a decent stab at Rolf Harris at one point!) As Lennon might say: 'You know, I loved this book.' https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Oasis-Audiobook/B002V010GA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This book makes me feel extremely self-conscious writing a review. OK, this is really not a review ... simply because I am not qualified to construct sentences assembled into paragraphs that are worthy of Bernard's talent. Something I Heard is beautifully written - my first reaction was that it read more like poetry than prose. So, how to describe it? I once purchased a bottle of 30 year old Springbank Scotch whiskey. It was expensive, and very rare. It took me about 10 years to finish off as I savored it dram by dram. Each sip was magical and transported me back to Scotland. Each sip created a sensory explosion that confirmed that the bottle was worth every penny paid. There was a half inch left when I gave the bottle to a friend who, also, appreciated fine Scotch whiskey. After yet another decade slipping by between the both of us, we still talk about that Springbank 30. That's what this book is like. I dare you to just read one page and not be transported. He called me the next day to say how much he enjoyed the book I gave this book to my Dad for his birthday. He called me the next day to say how much he enjoyed the book. He then said some of Bernards passages and descriptions brought tears to his eyes!! Thank you Bernard for such an emotional and educational book for my Dad!! Susan from Los Angeles Don't miss this delightful collection! I don't know when I have laughed so much and so hard when reading about classical music and opera. Bernard Holland tells it like it is/was. Holland has brought joy to me over the years as his translucent writing ... Mr. Holland has brought joy to me over the years as his translucent writing enlarges and edifies the experience of listening to music. I see the world differently because of him, and for that, I am ever so grateful. Wonderfully written, a must-read Wonderfully written, a must-read! As a the weird kid who started classical piano at age six and loved it (and kept at it for eleven years), I picked up Holland's book with excitement! I never made it to my childhood dream of professional pianist, but reading through Holland's essays gave me a special thrill. Running the gamut from Chopin to Glass to learning about an inside look at the music business (not what people think; but is it ever?), I felt thoroughly entertained, informed, and quite honestly, sad when I realized I'd read it all. Thankfully, it's so jam-packed with clever writing, I'll be able to read back through it many times and pick up something new. I've already purchased a copy for a pianist friend, as well as my own father who has been a classical piano aficionado since practically his birth. 5 BIG stars. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Keith-Richards-Audiobook/B01LZE38GD Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> Titolo: Keith Richards Sottotitolo: Leggenda di un sopravvissuto Autore: Laura Gramuglia Narratore: Laura Gramuglia Formato: Unabridged Durata: 27 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 10-06-16 Editore: Area51 Publishing Categoria: Arts & Entertainment, Music Riepilogo Editore: Ascolta e rivivi la storia del chitarrista degli Stones.

Although the story is based on true life, certain names, personalities, and events have been altered, both for artistic and legal reasons, and should therefore be considered a "creative re-creation". For more, visit www.LEKalikow.com. Members Reviews: Memoir and much more "Sex, No Drugs & RockânâRoll: Memoirs of a Music Junkie" is called a memoir, but, in truth, it's so much more. L.E. Kalikow recalls his childhood and later years as they played out against a backdrop of 4 decades of tumultuous political, social, and musical changes. Though, perhaps, most resonant with those of the same generation, Kalikow's story speaks to everyone . His witty, irreverent, insightful, touching, and often raunchy (the first word of the title is SEX) narrative made me laugh and cry and feel along with him the experiences of growing up in 50s suburbia, of discovering who we are, of yearning to succeed (professionally and with women!), and of the crushing disappointment of almost having one's dreams come true. As a professional musician, Kalikow gives us an insider's view of the music industry and takes us along on the roller coaster ride that was his career, performing in venues big and small, and working with people both famous and less so. A major perk is that the reader can personally experience his music, as he had the wonderfully innovative idea to imbed many of his songs in the text of the ebook! Print book buyers can get the CD. L.E. Kalikow's "Sex, No Drugs & RockânâRoll" is an upbeat and engaging story that grown-ups (no prudes, please!) will surely enjoy. Lenny Lived It, and His Story Lives On!!! This is one of the best books on the golden years of the music biz you'll ever read. It's also one of the best books on growing up in the post WW2 North East USA you'll ever read. Lenny Kalikow lived it, breathed it, got down with the nitty gritty of it all and lived to write this great book. The accompanying CD of some of Lenny's early songs is also a treat. Get this book. Besides being a total hoot of a great read you'll impress people who see it lying around your house. I mean it!!! Coming of age never gets old this is more than a great trip down memory lane, it's a multi-decade road map of the evolution and nexus of music, youth, counter culture, and boomers coming of age. J.D. Salinger's Holden Caulfield must be cheering the author on. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Reflections-A-Tribute-to-Larry-Adler-Audiobook/B0163BESQG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I've been an Adler fan since first hearing him on an old 78rpm record on my mom's old wind up victrola in the 1970's. This made me fall in love with the mouth organ (aka harmonica) & start playing it myself, eventually getting a chromatic one just like he played. This book is SO well written, and SO wonderful a read, that i only have one complaint. And that is that it's too short! Don't get me wrong. I mean that even if the book went on forever, it would STILL be too short! I bought the kindle version, as over 2,000 bucks for a book is a bit much. I don't know what's going on there. I'm seeing odd pricing like that a LOT here on amazon. To make a long story longer, if you are an Adler fan, you need this book! :) UPDATE: The price for the physical book has now been changed to a MUCH more reasonable price. I guess reviews DO get read sometimes. :) https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Riff-Raff-Rebels-Rock-Gods-Audiobook/B011T5O5Z0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Getting his eyebrows shaved off by Ozzy Osbourne. All in a day's work for Garry. These were truly days of glory. The Specials. The Selecter. 2-Tone visionary Jerry Dammers. Garry was right there at ground zero. The Exploited. Twisted Sister. Rose Tattoo. Iron Maiden. A unique explosion of raw and exciting bands, giant characters and radical ideas. You'll meet them all.

I found the part when it described the murdering of a cat near the beginning extremely upsetting. I couldn't even finish listening to the end. Sometimes Hilarious If you could sum up Riff-Raff, Rebels & Rock Gods in three words, what would they be? Honest , Funny, Cutting edge. I always used to get Sounds, every week from about 1978 until it finished. Mr Bushell was always funny in his reviews and interviews with the stars and not so well known of the day. What did you like best about this story? Remembering the way he would write the brtal truth about his exploits with the musos, Legendary drinkers Pete Way , Ozzy et al come across as comedians on stage and after seeing them a few times its true, they are a bunch of nutters. Pete is a really nice guy, i've met him a couple of times, offered him a free drink once and he refused !!! he was busy though. The Iron Maiden section is great and even the bits about Ska bands are goood to listen to although the musics not my pint of bitter. The relentless piss taking of the hapless Ross Halfin (Gross Halfwitt) is a joy to behold What does Garry Bushell bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? Even more humour the way he reads it, I could invisage meself in a pub with Gal telling me these stories over several pints of Courage Directors and some cheese n onion crisps. Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Laughed all the way through it, at some moments i had to pull the wagon into the side of the road and laugh. Any additional comments? If you liked Sounds in the 70's /80's, get this , its just what it used to be about, even down to the NME knocking, i did buy that thing once when they had AC/DC on the cover in the 90's. only time ever. Sounds was a big influence on my musical tastes and Geoff Barton and Gary were probably the biggest 2 writers that did influence me. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/American-Legends-The-Life-of-Gene-Autry-Audiobook/B00YV65IZ6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: American Legends: The Life of Gene Autry Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Kelly Rhodes Format: Unabridged Length: 50 mins Language: English Release date: 06-05-15 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: "Music has been the better part of my career. Movies are wonderful fun, and they give you a famous face. But how the words and melody are joined, how they come together out of air and enter the mind, this is art. Songs are forever." (Gene Autry) A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. In the early 20th century, Westerns were one of the most popular genres in Hollywood. One of the young stars at the forefront was Gene Autry, a Texan whose life story made him a natural to be the country's most famous "singing cowboy". Autry would become a symbol of masculinity and morality onscreen during the 1930s, but it was effortless for someone who had already grown up riding horses to school. Autry came of age at a time when the "singing cowboy" was at the apex of its popularity, and, like his most famous successor, Roy Rogers, Autry actually got his start in show business as a singer. Even today Autry might be best known for being a pioneer of country music and the author of Christmas hits "Here Comes Santa Claus", "Frosty the Snowman", and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer". Autry would produce hundreds of recordings during his life, helping ensure the popularity of the country music genre and earning inductions into several related halls of fame. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Charles River Editors) Fri, 05 Jun 2015 00:51:49 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/American-Legends-The-Life-of-Gene-Autry-Audiobook/B00YV65IZ6 thebookvoice.com 00:50:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Very good book. It is good to know these people ... Once again Charles Rivers has done it.A lot of information in a small space. I also read the bio of Roy Rogers, and these two men were not that different. Although they acted in movies mostly for children they were astute businessmen. Someone once said, If Bob Hope and Gene Autry sold all their real estate holdings there would not be much of L.A. left. In my mind Autry had a notch up on Rogers for that time period he had joined the military when the war was going on. The book brought out items I had not heard about. I am a rodeo fan, but I did not know Autrys involvement as a producer... Very good book. It is good to know these people as real people, wort's and all. Dutch........ Very nice picture of a favorite entertainers to many This book is well done and shows the progression of a singer into an international and patriotic hero to many. A man of good values and excellent business sense. Well done. Cowboy heart throb This book was enthralling. Filled in alot of the missing blanks loved it. I watched all the movies with my mom. Her idol as well ireally adored this book. Very disappointed. Did not tell a thing about his life Very disappointed. Did not tell a thing about his life. Thought it was his bio. The Life of Gene Autry Great story about a wonderful fellow. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Legends-of-Music-The-Life-and-Legacy-of-John-Lennon-Audiobook/B00X6IKJ5Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Almost from the second they played the first note, The Beatles would be hit with the resounding screams, which made it impossible for them to even hear themselves sing. When they made their American debut on The Ed Sullivan Show in early 1964, they were greeted by young fans who whipped themselves up into such a frenzy that some of them fainted. Beatlemania had struck North America, creating a musical and pop culture phenomenon unlike anything the world had ever seen. At the center of it all was John Lennon, the man who founded the Beatles and was instrumental in creating the soundtrack of the 1960s, while producing some of the world's most timeless classics. Together with Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, Lennon became one of the world's most famous men, and he was also one of the world's most interesting and outspoken men, a complex figure who survived a turbulent upbringing, addictions to drugs, and unstable relationships, only to be tragically killed just as he was settling into a serene, comfortable life. His loss is still widely felt today like it was in December 1980, as people remain in awe of his music and continue to grapple with the contradictory nature of his life and work, which at any given moment could oscillate from his notoriously acerbic wit to the endless optimism of "Imagine". biacuaduc@gmail.com (Charles River Editors) Wed, 06 May 2015 10:12:44 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Legends-of-Music-The-Life-and-Legacy-of-John-Lennon-Audiobook/B00X6IKJ5Y thebookvoice.com 02:44:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The band toured with a series of high profile bands on their way up (the headliners more so than Fashion) back at the height of the New Wave, and I was lucky enough to see them as an opener for the Police at a college campus gig in 1979. What an eye-opener. For me and my friends they stole the show. To this day, the classic Product Perfect is one of a handful of my favorite records from that era. More than 35 years later, it's a pleasure to listen to the inimitable Luke narrate his account of Fashion's formative years - what was and what could have been, as it were. As an historical account and highly entertaining slice of life, the audio Stairway to Nowhere stands as an impressive performance piece even if you've never heard of the band. Luke knows how to tell a tale, warts and all, with ample humor betraying an ability to laugh at the sincerity of youth without diminishing its brilliant idealism. The story is unadulterated, and includes rather graphic snapshots of the darker side of the rock and roll experience at a time when everything seemed to be in great flux. Who was your favorite character and why? Luke is the star, with Dik and Mulligan in memorable supporting roles. What does Luke James bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Luke James reads, acts, performs in a voice and accent all his own, the perfect product of his Birmingham past and an engaged theatrical approach. He doesn't just read his story but plunges into it, even sing-telling the parts involving song lyrics. If you know the songs, it makes you want to hear them. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Luminary-Icon-Audiobook/B00UZGV0G2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Before any of that, though, Cage was just five guys from Bowling Green, a small town in southern Kentucky. In Home Grown, Craig Fehrman secured Almost Famous-levels of access to tell the story of Cages rise. But along the way he discovered an even bigger story - how a tiny, overlooked place like Bowling Green had itself become one of the most vibrant music scenes in the country. Through vivid storytelling and exclusive details, Home Grown traces the history of Cage, from the band forming in high school to hanging with the Foo Fighters. But the Single also explores how and why Cage keeps coming home. Youll meet the characters and locations that make up Bowling Greens scene: the music-first dive bar where Cage got its start; the creaky, Pirate-themed house where artists gather to jam; the radio DJ who sacrificed everything to play local music - plus a slew of exciting young bands, all in different stages of their careers. How does a music scene work, especially in a place most people assume doesnt even have a music scene? Home Grown has the answers, and it makes a great read for music fans - or for anyone who grew up in a place like Bowling Green. Craig Fehrman is a writer who lives in Indiana. His work has appeared in The New York Times, The New Republic, and Slate, among others. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Craig Fehrman) Wed, 23 Apr 2014 18:58:58 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Home-Grown-Audiobook/B00JU5HSU6 thebookvoice.com 01:56:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

If you're interested in Cage the Elephant, you should read this: there isn't a better profile of them anywhere else. If you're interested in the city of Bowling Green, then you should read this: you'll meet dj's and bar owners, townies and newcomers, and you'll learn about the city's history and changing character. And if you're just interested in music, then you should read this, too: it gives you a real sense for what kind of rock music is out there now and why it matters so much to so many people. Well played Just finished. Well done. I lived in BG in 2004ish-2005ish... It's good to read that a lot of familiar names and places are still going. Spent many a penny pitcher night at Tidball's. I wonder if Jared's folks still have the piano upstairs. Definitely rocked that thing one time back in the day. It's also cool that Joel is still working with those guys. Figured he'd strictly be a rap engineer by now. Well done, Craig Fehrman. Can't wait to get a hard copy whenever it happens. Interesting portrait of a band and their hometown Fehrman gives a methodical, mellow and thoughtful study of a band that is raucous, loud and brash both musically and in performances. Navigating the stomping grounds and characters that fostered Cage the Elephant, Home Grown gives you a native's view of the local culture they have stimulated in their rise to rock fame. By focusing on the band's genesis in Bowling Green, a drive-thru town that seems unremarkable at first (and maybe second and third) glance, Fehrman draws out and examines the crucial elements that make up a truly great local music scene. Great book if you are interested in music, Cage the Elephant, or Bowling Green, Kentucky. Hey - it's a great book. Bought the book because I knew the author a few years back. He does not disappoint. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Story-of-Chopin-Audiobook/B004HGHDJ4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

There are extensive pieces of Chopin's music which are delightful but not what I expect from an audio tape. The narration is minimal and tells me very little about Chopin's life. There is no note of which pieces are being played at the time they are played, nor who the artists are. I have many CDs of Chopin's music. I bought this tape to learn about his life but learnt very little. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Hacienda-Audiobook/B004GAZ7KI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He provided the propulsive bass guitar melodies of 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' and the bestselling 12-inch single ever, 'Blue Monday' among many other songs. As co-owner of Manchester's Hacienda club, Hook propelled the rise of acid house in the late 1980s, then suffered through its violent fall in the 1990s as gangs, drugs, greed and a hostile police force destroyed everything he and his friends had created. This is his memory of that era and 'it's far sadder, funnier, scarier and stranger' than anyone has imagined. As young and naive musicians, the members of New Order were thrilled when their record label Factory opened a club. Yet as their career escalated, they toured the world and had top ten hits, their royalties were being ploughed into the Hacienda and they were only being paid 20 per week. Peter Hook looked back at that exciting and hilarious time to write Hacienda.

Members Reviews: Deadpan Funny I'm now in my early 40's so this was my era of clubbing and although I never went I was familiar with the goings on at the Hacienda. Read brilliantly and deadpan funny by the author. Worth a listen to by any northerner of my age who used to go to the early raves and clubs The capital of cool It's short but pure class this and well worth it. Works as a brilliant companion to 24 hour party people. Another great story An eye opener for anyone thinking about opening a club . Very entertaining stright from the Horse's Mouth. Well worth a listen. GREAT... if you like short stories. What would have made The Hacienda better? A longer more in-depth account to what happened. What did you like best about this story? The era it happened in and the impact it made What didnt you like about Peter Hooks performance? Way too short. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Hacienda? The problem was lack of content rather then what should be cut! Cracking Loved this gave a real insight listened to it twice the music was a great addition made you feel the times https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Jonathan-Richman-Audiobook/B002V8HC9Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Un ritratto a tutto tondo di una delle grandi voci della musica. Da Valentina Mattarozzi, cantautrice bolognese da sempre appassionata di musica, danza, disegno e recitazione. Valentina ha all'attivo album e concerti, e naviga ogni giorno nelle acque profonde dello swing, del jazz, del blues e anche del pop. Quello di Ella Fitzgerald è un nome che compare in ogni libro di storia della musica e chiunque può dire aver ascoltato, almeno una volta, la sua bellissima voce o di possedere un suo disco da qualche parte. In questo breve viaggio nella vita e nella carriera della regina dello swing tra gli anni quaranta e sessanta, l'autrice ci racconta i motivi per cui Ella era grande: le sofferenze e i sacrifici che dovette sopportare per arrivare al successo, l'incredibile talento che dimostrò fin da subito, la tenacia con cui lottò per conquistarsi un posto tra i bianchi che dominavano la scena discografica dell'epoca, i rapporti con i colleghi come Chick Webb, Louis Armstrong o Frank Sinatra, i matrimoni sfortu-nati e l'amore per la vita. Un viaggio a tutto tondo nel mito di Ella Fitzgerald. Ella si destreggiò con bravura in moltissimi generi, "lo faceva con grande slancio e candore. Per questo è tutt'ora un'icona e cantante jazz. La più famosa di tutti i tempi." "A differenza di altre grandi cantanti jazz, Ella Fitzgerald non crebbe avviluppata dalla musica nera. È per questo motivo che troviamo nel suo fraseggio modalità più vicino al cantare dei bianchi e una nota più fredda dal punto di vista emotivo rispetto alle sopracitate artiste. Ma si contraddistinse per la ritmicità della sua voce, per la freschezza della sua timbrica, per l'impeccabilità della sua dizione e intonazione, per l'intelligenza dimostrata utilizzando i fraseggi dei musicisti che aveva ascoltato fino ad allora per improvvisare lei stessa con la voce" (L'autrice).

Valentina ha all'attivo album e concerti, e naviga ogni giorno nelle acque profonde dello swing, del jazz, del blues e anche del pop. Billie Holiday è stata una delle cantanti più importanti e influenti del Novecento. Tutti i suoi concerti facevano il sold-out, collaborava con i più grandi musicisti dell'epoca, come Louis Armstrong, ed è entrata nel firmamento delle voci femminili, non solo jazz. Questa, però, è solo la luminosa cornice di una vita di sacrifici, problemi con la legge, scelte infelici, mariti violenti e dipendenze malsane. Fin da piccola, Billie dovette lottare con tutte le forze contro il mondo esterno e le difficoltà della vita: la violenza, la prostituzione, le botte dai mariti, la caduta nel vortice della droga... eppure Lady Day, com'era soprannominata nell'ambiente, riuscì sempre a rialzarsi e con tenacia e determinazione inseguì la sua vera e unica passione, la musica. Universalmente riconosciuta come una voce di primissimo livello, Billie Holiday non frequentò mai scuole o accademie, cantava con il cuore. Le sue canzoni si rivolgevano al popolo oppresso dei neri, in un paese, gli Stati Uniti, che a fatica cercava di uscire da un abisso di razzismo che ancora nel nuovo millennio minaccia il suo equilibrio sociale. Il suo pezzo più famoso, "Strange Fruit", è un inno alla sofferenza dei neri, un'ode alla rivalsa delle minoranze e un invito al cambiamento. Un autentico capolavoro che fa riflettere ancora oggi.

Members Reviews: Very Comforting I loved this book and it helped to bring closure for me. I have been a fan of Michael Jackson's since he was 8 years old. His death hit me very very hard. I found this book was Michael's way of telling his millions of fans, that he is okay and now at peace. We all need an open mind. I truly believe that Michael was touched by God in his life and this makes perfect sense that Michael would communicate to us this way. Michael's message was one of love, kindness, and believing in God 's love. My heart is still broken, but my soul knows he is singing now with the angels ZERO STARS This book is extremely misleading and poorly written (have fun trying to count all the grammatical errors). Michael Jackson fans -- BEWARE! This author uses large type and "fills" the book with lyrics from some of MJ's songs (which most everyone already knows by heart), in addition to various spiritual quotes. Amidst all this filler is the main point of the book which is to discuss this author's religious beliefs. Occasionally, the reader is told about something vague and questionable about her conversations/experiences with MJ on the other side (him flying in the galaxy or picking flowers). The most perplexing thing about this book is that, for some reason, the author was needed to "assist" MJ in his transition despite the fact that Jesus Christ himself makes an appearance with MJ and seems to have things under control (sigh). This book gives very little insight into MJ's passing but rather is intent on impressing on the reader the author's belief that life (here and after death) is difficult and full of suffering because, according to ancient religious beliefs, such sundry bad things are purifying and beneficial for us all (sigh again). MJ fans, Michael would not want you to waste your money on this rubbish like I did. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-King-and-I-How-Elvis-Shaped-My-Life-Audiobook/B00JEMRF7G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Everyone Has A Story About Elvis Everyone has a story about Elvis. For a fair amount of people, it's a song they danced to or a family member who is a fan; something casual. For those closer to him in life, it's tell-alls and intimate moments. For those who are fans, it's how Elvis has affected them individually. Most people wouldn't be as eloquent as Harry Mount is in his recounting of his life and its crossing paths with being an Elvis fan; indeed, Elvis Facebook groups and web forums are filled with as many people who can barely communicate anything more than "Elvis lives!" as they are with fans who know the ins and outs of every album, movie, TV show, concert and book and are able to reflect on Elvis' career and impacts on world culture. Another reviewer asks "why Elvis has continued to be popular decades after his death" and looks to Mount's single for a potential answer. Believe it or not, the answer is there, but most people will miss it (including said reviewer) in light of the autobiographical nature of the book. It's a single line near the end: "He is a singer of great talent, whose music I like listening to â no more, no less." It's the understatement of the century, but reveals the ultimate undying truth about Elvis: peel the layers off the hype, celebrity fixations, obsessions, tacky product lines, marketing, media, punchlines, trivia and insiders, separate it from everything that came before and came after... and you will find yourself with an astonishingly talented singer and entertainer. And that's why Elvis continues to be popular decades after his death. The music. Five Stars Good book.I A Tepid Obsession A classmate of Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne, upper class Londoner, ex-banker and ex-barrister, aged six when Elvis Presley died, Harry Mount is a somewhat unlikely Elvis fan. I have been wondering lately, why Elvis has continued to be popular decades after his death, while someone like Liberace, for instance, fades in popularity as soon as they die. Perhaps Harry Mount's experience might enlighten me. Mount explains how he came to be an Elvis fan as a boy and continued to be fascinated by the star even to this day. He tries to make himself out to be a rabid fan, but somehow doesn't convince. A trip to Graceland during a visit to the United States and the occasional YouTube binge don't seem to add up to anything exceptional. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Encounter-Audiobook/B00DND7S3S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: the insights of kundera kunderaâs style reminds me of the work of montaigne, the man who contemplated and developed his opinions of what interested him into what, thanks to him, has become known as the essay. to begin with a thought, to jot down an insight while itâs fresh, thereâs a rawness about that, ripeness is not always all. with their kafkaesque sensibility and more accessible than nietzscheâs aphorisms, kunderaâs brief pieces do share such company. born in czechoslovakia, as a writer kundera experienced his country invaded by the soviets in 1968, a shock to the western world who watched the advent of some of the new art scene in 1964 at the worldâs fair in new york at the czechoslovakian pavilion. a published novelist, kundera settled in exile in france in 1975 where he continues to write. he purports to be a french writer writing of czech experiences. the thought central to his essays is the encounter of two cultures to form an identity or solidarity. in discussing the right of writers to choose their own forms, here are some of the authors, novels and observations subject of his essays: the spirit of the odd novel by rabelais is more meaningful in translation to czech readers than to contemporary french readers; the anti-novel, written by carlos fuentes and curzio malaparte, which kundera champions as the arch-novel; an insightful placing the fiction of philip roth, who continues to remind the press he is an american novelist who writes of jews and not a jewish novelist, within the literary history of sex and love in the novel; aime cesaire and other martinique born artists and the important encounter which occurred between them and the artists of the french surrealist movement; and of laughter, the different forms of laughter in a work by dostoievski and the right of the artist to depict laughter in a work under a harsh regime. other writings highlight musicians, beethoven, schoenberg, and xenakis, among them, and a psychological observation of a painting by francis bacon with a reflection of an incident told by kundera of an encounter with a friend, a woman, interrogated in czechoslovakia. his devotion to the freedom of the artist and defense of artistic form outside traditionally accepted notions of what a novel, in general, is expected to be, plot driven with characters engaged, is best expressed in his description of modernism as he refers to the novels by malaparte: ââthere are many great novels that, at their birth, are unlike the commonly held idea of the novel. And so? Isnât a great novel great precisely because it does not repeat what already existed? â And I find it significant that everything about THE SKINâS form that seems to contradict the very idea of the novel should also reflect the new climate in the aesthetic of the novel as it took shape in the twentieth century, in contrast to its norms in the century before. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Soul-of-It-All-Audiobook/B00BD5JH8C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Interesting and unexpected story Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would recommend this audiobook. It is well narrated and I love the tone of his voice reading the book. You can "imagine" some situations when you are listening to it. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Soul of It All? Dicover the great human being he is. He explains his life, his carreer, his achievements and goals. He talks about his family with the hard and good times, as life itself. He is sincere explaining things you do not expect. What does Michael Bolton bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Listen to his voice and the emotion he makes you feel. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made me laugh and cry and think that you have to fight for whatever you want in this life and do not give up easily. And to keep yours near you. Really like Michael Bolton but........ Is there anything you would change about this book? Love his singing voice but his speaking voice is dreary, flat and monotone. Could he not spare a little of the passion he displays in his singing into his reading? What was one of the most memorable moments of The Soul of It All? Finding out how he struggled for many years before achieving success. How could the performance have been better? Have a different narrator. If this book were a film would you go see it? Yes https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Django-Audiobook/B007HQD7ZA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A story about overcoming adversity---also depicts my people, The Roma, in a way that is not criminal or stereotypical or sensationalized. I bought it for myself and a Romani friend who has kids. Way to go Bonnie Christenson. Thank You for this little gem. My grandson is named after Django This was a perfect gift for my new grandson so he can learn about the man he was names after. Nice pictures Nice story. An Apt Tribute to a Great Guitarist and Resilient Person Bonnie Christensen's Django captures the true story of a young man who experienced prodigious promise as a young guitarist in 1930s Paris, then tragedy as his fretting hand was burned beyond use, then triumph as he re-taught himself to play the guitar. The lyrical text (some syntax sacrificed for the sake of rhythm) is matched with oils that range from smoky, drab, and hazy, to vibrant and captivating - a contrast not unlike Django's life itself. A poetic biography with informative back matter. Overall, instructive and moving. Makes you want to listen to Django's music and overcome your own petty setbacks. This biography of Django Reinhardt has a beautiful, ethereal quality you're going to love! Django Reinhardt was born in a horse drawn gypsy wagon in Belgium. It was 1910 and times were hard. It was January and snow lightly coated tree branches and the step of the wagon. The laundry flapped in the breeze and animals stuck close to the wagons. It was not an easy life because the family was constantly "moving place to place, country to country." There was no opportunity for Django to go to school, but there was something that he would learn and learn well. That thing, which would later become a passion, was music. The gypsy dancers would twirl faster and faster to the sound of music, "Heartbeats drumming, breathless singing,/ Float on music to the stars." When he was a boy, his father left, never to return and Django had to grow up quickly. When he was still a boy, he dazzled Parisians when he played his "banjo-guitar." Soon they were calling him the "Gypsy Genius" and "Prodigy Boy." By 1928 he was being asked to join bands and "make the big time." His gypsy wagon beckoned to him and he left to go back to it. It was during the night that a fire started in the wagon. "A scream, a screech, then footsteps running" . . . Django was burning up. His recuperation would be long and arduous. No one thought he would ever dazzle the crowds again, but Django Reinhardt was determined to make his useless hand make music again. This rhythmically related tale was beautifully executed and the bold, vibrant artwork complimented it very nicely. The story seemed to swirl and somehow had an ethereal quality about it. The storyline captured my imagination and I went to listen to clips of Django's amazing guitar work in Amazon's music section. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Adventures-in-the-Scream-Trade-Scenes-from-an-Operatic-Life-Audiobook/B009443Y06 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Adventures in the Scream Trade: Scenes from an Operatic Life Author: Charles Long Narrator: Charles Long Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 08-31-12 Publisher: D Street Books, a division of Mountain Lake Press Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: For over two decades Charles Long thrilled opera audiences, performing at some of America's and the world's most famous venues, and singing alongside some of its greatest stars. In his insightful, frank and humorous new memoir, Long recounts many of those experiences. In the process he sheds light into a world many of us respect, admire and love, but which few of us have ever encountered in such intimate detail. Critic Reviews: "Opera singer Charles Long is a skilled wordsmith, and his narration adds verve and energy to his story. The result is a fun and enlightening listening experience. His elegant foreign accents add authenticity, with his best creation being, of course, himself. Particularly amusing is his colorful and frank description about being a straight guy in a world abounding with gay men. Also, his spirited account of the time he and his boss, an Italian restaurant owner, retreated to a back alley to settle a dispute over a microphone is amusing. Adding to the listening pleasure are gorgeous snippets of opera music."

But I met him long after he left the opera and beyond knowing he'd sung, knew little of his actual career. I was blown away! I so enjoyed reading this book on so many levels. 1, it's hilarious. He shares dozens of great anecdotes that really take you backstage. I've always thought the audience misses the best part of a show and this proves it. 2, it's honest. Charles pulls no punches. If he has an opinion about a person or a situation, he'll say so without regard to the reputation or stature of his target. In the most colorful language. It was both shocking and refreshing! and 3, I loved it for the inside view it gave me of a true life in the arts - a person who has devoted his whole being, without excuse or reservation, to art. It's a level of purity most of us can only glimpse and is the true gift of this book. Flying high, falling deep Amazingly successful man shares the triumph and tragedy of his career. Anyone who strives for glory will appreciate the lessons in this man's words-- lessons of what to do and what not to do. With much appreciation for the author's honest sharing, sincerely, Edward Albert I was a screamer too I was a singer and enjoyed the book a lot because of that. The book brings back a lot of memories and though sometimes it brought a smile and other times a little sad anger, it was a good read. For those in the business.... I loved this book although it made me sad. It is for a narrow audience perhaps but, in my youth I worked with the author in opera and was cowed by his immense, international level talent...and to learn of how terribly he was treated by fate...and to see how marvelously he overcame it all...makes me think that anyone who has ever struggled against terrible odds to find a positive resolution...this is a textbook and a well worthwhile read. Unfortunate I have always enjoyed stories about/by opera singers, and have friends who have had major international careers. While some of Mr Long' s stories are interesting, I found him to be rude and ignorant to many groups of people. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Killers-Audiobook/B002V1J92Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Un quesito a cui forse nemmeno il diretto interessato saprebbe dare risposta, perché Bob Dylan, per parafrasare Sinatra, viene da "lassù", un posto per lo più irraggiungibile per noi poveri comuni mortali. "Bob Dylan" fa parte della collana Bio Rock. ©2017 GOODmood (P)2017 GOODmood https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Michael-Jackson-Audiobook/B072HSL1CJ Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> Titolo: Michael Jackson Autore: Claudia Valentini Narratore: Alice Pagotto, Enrico Cimmino Formato: Unabridged Durata: 1 hr and 8 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 05-15-17 Editore: GoodMood Categoria: Arts & Entertainment, Music Riepilogo Editore: La parabola di un uomo che per molti è stato un dio e per tutti un re: Michael Jackson. Dalle origini umili, in una piccola casa di un'America ignorata dalle luci della ribalta, ai palcoscenici di tutto il mondo dove quelle luci erano tutte per lui, il divo, il "Re del Pop". Dalle tribolazioni insieme ai famelici fratelli, i Jackson 5, e al padre-padrone, a una carriera fulminante dove i record sono all'ordine del giorno. Michael Jackson è stato ed è ancora il "Re del Pop", ma era prima di tutto un uomo, spesso fragile, impaurito, a volte divorato dai sensi di colpa e dalla sua stessa bontà. In questo audioBook si svela il mistero di un uomo che ha sfidato i confini tra umanità e divinità, spesso riuscendo a superarli e, per questo, venendo altrettanto frequentemente punito.

Si delinea il ritratto di donna in formazione, dapprima poco più di una bambina, poi una ragazza piena di seduzioni, una moglie che conserva il piacere del gioco e mette in secondo piano i fastidiosi doveri di una donna di casa, alla quale Mozart resterà sempre molto legato, fino al giorno della morte, nel 1791, quando lui ha 35 anni, e lei 29. Poi il ritratto di una donna spaventata dal baratro dei debiti lasciati dal marito, una vedova che, facendosi coraggio, si impegna a fondo per la sopravvivenza sua e dei due figli e nello stesso tempo elabora un ardito progetto per la diffusione della musica ancora sconosciuta del marito, impegnandosi come organizzatrice e perfino come cantante. Infine, col secondo matrimonio avvenuto nel 1809 con il segretario d'ambasciata von Nissen, Konstanze si trasforma in una abile amministratrice del patrimonio costituito dagli inediti mozartiani e coautrice di una importante biografia del Maestro.

Ma il filo conduttore è rappresentato da Konstanze Weber, che Amadé sposa nel 1782, quando lui ha 25 anni, e lei 20. Si delinea il ritratto di donna in formazione, dapprima poco più di una bambina, poi una ragazza piena di seduzioni, una moglie che conserva il piacere del gioco e mette in secondo piano i fastidiosi doveri di una donna di casa, alla quale Mozart resterà sempre molto legato, fino al giorno della morte, nel 1791, quando lui ha 35 anni, e lei 29. Poi il ritratto di una donna spaventata dal baratro dei debiti lasciati dal marito, una vedova che, facendosi coraggio, si impegna a fondo per la sopravvivenza sua e dei due figli e nello stesso tempo elabora un ardito progetto per la diffusione della musica ancora sconosciuta del marito, impegnandosi come organizzatrice e perfino come cantante. Infine, col secondo matrimonio avvenuto nel 1809 con il segretario d'ambasciata von Nissen, Konstanze si trasforma in una abile amministratrice del patrimonio costituito dagli inediti mozartiani e coautrice di una importante biografia del Maestro.

Members Reviews: Good to know more of Libera Listening to Libera is one thing, but knowing how it started is something magical. Indeed, you'll learn more of Libera through reading to the pages of Adrian Jeens, the Journey. So, if you really love Libera and want to know more about them, buy this book. Concise and enjoyable! After reading this book I came away with notion that Robert Prizeman is a genius. I doubt there are many people that could do what he has done over the past decades. I hope he keeps the "spark" for years to come! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Yakety-Yak-I-Fought-Back-Audiobook/B00TUAKMZO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: What is the secret of your success? Still searchin'... Some years ago the NY Times ran an article about members of vintage singing groups testifying on Capitol Hill for the right to have their groups' names copyrighted. Front and center was Carl Gardner, who revealed that fake Coasters were copping 90% of his gigs and therefore his income. Of course I was psyched to read this man's memoirs. I wanted to hear glorious tales of the R&B nightlife in Los Angeles, the eccentricities of Leiber & Stoller, and his relationship with Grady Chapman, whose lead spot he took over in the Robins--to say nothing of his day on Capitol Hill. (Did the senators ask for his autograph and say, "I've got all your records!"?) The problem is that at 180 pages--less when you subtract the photos and the website stuff--none of this is really in the book. Everything is glossed over very slightly: just when the reader is asking "but what about...?" he pulls back and switches to the next topic. Was Chapman resentful at getting busted down to first tenor? He never says. How does he respond to critics who charge that the Coasters' songs are rife with demeaning stereotypes? He mentions the charges but never replies. Granted, a lot of show-biz look-backs share these faults. (Eddie Fisher's and Dodd Darin's come to mind, but are still worth a look.) But the subject matter and the author's participation makes the reader expect much more. It seems a rush job, too, with its funny typos (songwriter Doc Primus, promoter Gene Normal, Paul McCarthy, Beatle) and missing periods after sentences. If you buy it, keep your red pencil handy; you'll be scribbling "But what about...?" quite often. Buy this piece of Rock n Roll history! This is the TRUE story of the legendary Coasters told by group founder Carl Gardner. It is a fascinating behind the scenes look at the early days of the rock n roll. Veta Gardner does a great job of telling Carl's story. Buy the book you won't be sorry. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Big-Muddy-Audiobook/B00K5VSYWK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: The afterlife experiences of Michael Jackson in the months following his death follow an unexpected and exciting path. Michael Jackson's afterlife journey becomes surprisingly relevant to all of us in our own individual understanding of our own human lives and the spiritual journey underlying our every breath. Michael Jackson shares a modern day rendering of an ancient tradition of the spiritual path in its triumph, torture and its tumultuous end. And his journey mirrors ancient mystical journeys into the world beyond, bringing to light a modern day rendering of the afterlife passage. But Michael Jackson's afterlife experiences offer the TRUE Victory Tour - in the world beyond - the afterlife of Michael Jackson.

"You are not real, Death, for I die every minute and am reborn in the next into life infinite." (The Book of Angelus Silesius - 17th Century Zen Poet) Members Reviews: MJ Lyrics as Scripture? Maybe not. But the author argues a fascinating case for it. The book's worth a listen although I think part one is entirely 2 hours too long. Much of it is the author's redundant recitation of MJ lyrics and album credits. The author borrows from other scriptures--from the New Testament to "The Prophet" to Rumi and Yogananda--to put forth a new theology embracing world peace and human dignity, based on what MJ showed her after his death. One a-ha moment arises when she suggests demonic spirits are sometimes present in tempting man into sinning, recalling the fall of man in Genesis 3. It makes you wonder if some of our trials might have occurred through active suggestion, rather than innate desire. Also, the afterlife stories (i.e., the creative source of MJ's music) as colorful as they sound, could not be proven requiring a hefty and continual suspension of belief from the reader. The author states that fact early in the book. Definitely worth a listen. An open mind and familiarity of MJ's life (i.e., J. Taraborrelli's "Magic and the Madness;" MJ's "Moonwalk") and music (esp. songs from the "Dangerous" and "HIStory" albums) is required. And a taste for afterlife stories (Sylvia Browne, George Anderson, James Van Praagh, etc.) wouldn't hurt, either. :) Interesting,Deep,Beautiful Interesting.. Different in the way the Author incorporates other books and material referenced during the story of her experience that expands and connects us with the core story also..

Clinton Heylin's revelatory biography, E Street Shuffle, chronicles the evolution and influence of Springsteen's E Street Band as they rose from blue-collar New Jersey to the heights of rock stardom. The band's players - most notably saxophonist Clarence "Big Man" Clemons, guitarist "Little" Stevie Van Zandt, and drummer Max Weinberg - became Springsteen's comrades in concert, helping him find the elusive sound and sonic punch that highlighted The Boss's most creative period, including Darkness on the Edge of Town, Born to Run, and Born in the USA. Fans will also learn another side of Springsteen, one punctuated with his clashes with studio executives seeking a commercially viable, radio-friendly album, and his temporary disbanding of the E Street Band to pursue projects like the eerie acoustic of Nebraska. Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of Springsteen's debut album, Greetings from Asbury Park, drawing on interviews and access to new recordings and shows, Heylin paints a bold picture of The Boss. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Clinton Heylin) Thu, 09 May 2013 06:07:42 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/E-Street-Shuffle-Audiobook/B00CP6XELE thebookvoice.com 12:41:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Anyone who's ever picked up a musical instrument of any kind - from the first caveman banging rocks to that little kid at the guitar shop - has thought that. I know I did. I'd been trying for years to break in to the music scene, to show everyone my chops, to make my mark. And I was good. But I wasn't great. I knew that there was something wrong. "Then the teacher showed up. I didn't ask for him. I didn't think I needed him. And all he said he could teach me was 'nothing'.

This buy was a shot in the dark. Never heard of Victor or this book. My expectations were very low. But I needed to motivate myself as I could not bring myself to practising my guitar. So I gave this one a try and Lord ... whata a find. I love how the words are backed by music in the background (although I find Mike's performance irritatingly overacted) and I can't get enough of the content. Music as mystery and invisible mighty force. No phony stuff and cheap superficial spiritualism (at least to my mind). That's what you will find there. Zen Bass Any additional comments? This is similar to the books 'Zen Guitar' and 'Effortless Mastery', except it focuses on a bass player instead of a guitar player. Another differentiator is that this audio book is punctuated with great music. (Except for the musical subvocalizations when 'Music' is speaking, which are really distracting). The stories are fantastical on purpose - he is trying to illustrate and emphasize his points about music (and life). The strictly literal minded will probably not like this book. Ditto for people who think "notes" are the end-all and be-all of music. Ditto for the people who only like one style of music and hold all other forms of musical expression in disdain. I think this book should be nearly required listening for all musicians. I've listened to it 3 times now. It is great. 20 years too late Truthfully, it's right on time. I think the book should have been called 'The Lesson'. Although Wooten presents this is a dialogue primarily about music between teacher and student, the concepts are equally transferable to any subject. Reminiscent of 'Zen and the Art of Archery'. Deeply Profound There is an old saying, "When the student is ready, the master will appear." That's how this book is setup, with the author's teacher showing up to teach a professional bass player how to play music, and that's how this book found its way to me. It was the right message at the right time, and there is simply not enough I can say about it that will sing its praises properly. There are a great many self-help books out there, just as there are a great many musical instruction books and books on fundamental spirituality. This book is all three at once - a masterpiece in its own right - and so much more. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Dharma-Punx-Audiobook/B01KP265OW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Dharma Punx Author: Noah Levine Narrator: Noah Levine Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 08-30-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 73 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: As with many self-destructive kids, Noah Levine's search for meaning led him first to punk rock, drugs, drinking, and dissatisfaction. But the search didn't end there. Having clearly seen the uselessness of drugs and violence, Noah looked for positive ways to channel his rebellion against what he saw as the lies of society. Fueled by his anger at so much injustice and suffering, Levine now uses that energy and the practice of Buddhism to awaken his natural wisdom and compassion. While Levine has come to embrace the same spiritual tradition as his father, best-selling author Stephen Levine, he finds his most authentic expression in connecting the seemingly opposed worlds of punk and Buddhism. As Noah Levine delved deeper into Buddhism, he chose not to reject the punk scene, instead integrating the two worlds as a catalyst for transformation. Ultimately this is an inspiring story about maturing and how a hostile and lost generation is finally finding its footing. This provocative report takes us deep inside the punk scene and moves from anger, rebellion, and self-destruction to health, service to others, and genuine spiritual growth. Critic Reviews: "This honest, page-turning confession is also a measure of the adaptability and usefulness of the Asian tradition of Buddhism for the young and the restless of contemporary America."

( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Disappointed I really wanted to like this book but I ended it feeling disappointed. This book made me feel like I was listening to a kid in high school dropping names of people, constantly talking about their spiritual tattoos and a bit of angry and ignorantly spoken moments about India. I wasn't inspired at all to seek the path of Buddhism and felt like, if anything, this book was a plug on how to look like your a cool spiritual punk rocker by going to punk shows, strange diving and wearing a bunch of tattoos of deities. Now, I do respect his journey and that he cleaned up his life... but what I mostly got from this book is that he spent a long time not being able to really dive into his practice because it wasn't comfortable to leave his punk rock life behind. He goes to India and complains about the monasteries and his inability to really commit his life to the practice directly before calling a hotel manager ignorant because he called his buddy a fake sadhu. Also, this guys voice was almost intolerable after a short while and he has a slight lisp which made we question some of his words occasionally. He read poorly. The book itself is poorly written and uninspiring to me. Now if you would like to read a book about how to be a punk rock Buddhist, this is probably for you. It's not for people interested in a true journey. Life Changing Read the book when it came out years ago. Changed my life. An inspiring listen. Life changing! The piece of the puzzle I needed. absolutely LOVE this book. I will definitely read it many times and suggest it to everyone I can! just what I needed I am a few years older than noah, grew up in the la punk scene. I have resisted so many things, I think my favorite line said something to the effect that it's love that's it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Great-Works-of-Sacred-Music-Audiobook/B016L0MJIS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Great Works of Sacred Music Author: The Great Courses Narrator: Professor Charles Edward McGuire Format: Original Recording Length: 11 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 10-23-15 Publisher: The Great Courses Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 94 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: Western classical music is one of humanity's most sublime artistic traditions. This musical language - encompassing genres from symphonic and instrumental music to choral works and opera - was created through the meeting of art and faith. The lineage of sacred works produced some of the greatest masterpieces in Western art and created the foundation of the Western musical canon. This phenomenal tradition includes works of genius such as: Beginning with medieval chant, discover how its single musical line evolved into polyphony (music with multiple simultaneous melodies). You'll also learn how the religious reformations of the 16th century compelled composers to create new musical genres and to make religious texts more intelligible. Additionally, observe how 17th-century composers blended sacred styles with genres such as opera, producing music of dramatic and unforgettable beauty. As a fascinating counterpoint to the music itself, you'll explore the sociological background of its writing and performance. Sacred works were often commissioned by important clerical and aristocratic patrons, and composers were challenged to write music that was not only religiously edifying but also entertaining and publically successful. Over time, sacred music moved beyond church walls to become appreciated in secular venues as autonomous works of art. You'll hear stunning musical excerpts covering over 1,200 years of music, from medieval chant to the massive sacred works of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

This phenomenal tradition includes works of genius such as: Beginning with medieval chant, discover how its single musical line evolved into polyphony (music with multiple simultaneous melodies). You'll also learn how the religious reformations of the 16th century compelled composers to create new musical genres and to make religious texts more intelligible. Additionally, observe how 17th-century composers blended sacred styles with genres such as opera, producing music of dramatic and unforgettable beauty. As a fascinating counterpoint to the music itself, you'll explore the sociological background of its writing and performance. Sacred works were often commissioned by important clerical and aristocratic patrons, and composers were challenged to write music that was not only religiously edifying but also entertaining and publically successful. Over time, sacred music moved beyond church walls to become appreciated in secular venues as autonomous works of art. You'll hear stunning musical excerpts covering over 1,200 years of music, from medieval chant to the massive sacred works of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Members Reviews: A Worthy Course This is the fifth music appreciation course I have taken from the Great Courses. I had no experience with music appreciation before beginning my education through these series of lectures. If you are like me and have little or no musical background, then I do not recommend starting with this particular course because the professor assumes some basic knowledge of terminology and music history. I strongly recommend beginning with Professor Greenburg's How to Listen to and Understand Great Music course before moving on to this one. If I have a complaint about this particular course, it would be that it is too short. The main topic omitted, which the professor openly admits, is music designed for congregational singing. In other words, this course focuses on music designed to be sung to the audience rather than music to be sung by the audience. So, this course omits most familiar religious songs commonly heard in church services. I wish the course was expanded to include enough lectures to incorporate this topic. That being said, this is still a wonderful course, and I learned a great deal such as the history of Handel's Messiah and Haydn's Creation. I purposely timed when I listened to this course so I could listen to the last lecture close to Christmas. The last lecture is by far the best and is dedicated to the history of Christmas music. The professor does a great job explaining the development of the Christmas music tradition. Enlightening and Enjoyable Any additional comments? Although some of the musical analysis was beyond my complete understanding, I enjoyed it and learned. Beyond that, the history, background and excerpts were most enjoyable. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Praying-with-Chopin-Audiobook/B01NAUMWVR Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

We were arguing if a book about a piece if music could be called a biography. I think so, as 'Messiah' has almost taken on a life of it's own. The book gives a potted bio of Handel and Jennings as well as the work, and some of the political and theological context that lead to it's writing. However, you will need a copy of the full work to hand to get the best out of the last part of this recording.Yes, there are some extracts but nowhere near enough. I loved the analysis of the score (engaging and not the least dry) but needed to flick back and forward between the 'book' and the music itself to get the most out of it. And, boy, did we! It now makes sense in a way it never did, despite being very familiar with the work. This will be back on my MP3 in the future. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Zen-Buddhism-Stories-Audiobook/B003LMNKQK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Zen Stories To Go With Your Flute Music What is advertised is what is got: Zen Stories and Zen Music. There really isn't much to say about the stories, they're Zen stories: some inspire, some feel like posturing, and some leave you scratching your head. Alec Sand reads the stories as well as they can be read, for which I give him five stars. Beware, there is A LOT of flute music here. The forty-three minute music collection takes up the final twelve chapters of sixteen. I assume that the first four chapters correspond to the four story collections, but they aren't pure narration. Between each story is a ten-ish second burst of flute music, either to give you a moment to reflect or to pad out the time, and sometimes the bursts go on for quite a bit. I think these longer bursts indicate the end/beginning of a new book, but I'm not sure. They are the reason why I rated the Overall as less than the Performance and Story, which is a first for me. The discounted price for Audible Members is just what I think this collection is worth. The current nine-dollar price is a bit much, and I certainly wouldn't use a credit. some chapters are just music the stories are great but some chapters are just music. like 10 in a row...why? Beautiful teachings What made the experience of listening to Zen Buddhism Stories the most enjoyable? the performance was esquisite and sensible Which scene was your favorite? some of the teachings are more easy to translate than others If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? inspirational, deep thoughts... Should be Free Should be free really, audio quality wasnt there. The reason i like audible is most of the stuff is of good quality, reviews help you sift through the junk, unlike free sites where you not sure what to believe, you can find almost anything and downloading is not a hack. But they should offer more free stuff like these zen stories, I have downloaded loads of free talks that I enjoyed more than this AB. Enjoyable stories Enjoyed the stories. Separating stories with music nice. Narration is very good. Like to see more translated. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Precious-Love-Sneh-moti-Hindi-Devotional-Songs-Audiobook/B00BUTEHIQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not what I expected I enjoy gospel music and thought this would be a good way to get to know the history and artists. Unfortunately beyond the first couple songs (Amazing Grace & Battle Hymn of the Republic) I didn't know the music so the stories behind them were not that interesting. If a version of the songs was included at the beginning of each chapter this would have been far more interesting. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Passion-Unplugged-Audiobook/B00389PDPM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Gospel music This book was interesting and easy to read. Part 1 was the history of music. Part 11 was a collection of interviews from people in gospel music ministry. Dr. Thomas A. Dorsey and Rev. James Cleveland were highlighted. These men were responsible for the spread of gospel music in the United States and the world. Their legacy will never be forgotten. The National Convention of Gospel Choirs and Choruses was organized by Professor Thomas A. Dorsey. The Gospel Music Workshop of America, Inc. was founded by Rev. James Cleveland. Their impast on music ministry is evident throughout the world.Make a Joyful Noise!

Title: The Little and the Great Things Author: Frederic Chopin, Blaise Pascal, Anton Kingsbury Narrator: Josh Verbae Format: Original Recording Length: 5 mins Language: English Release date: 01-19-17 Publisher: Interactive Media Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: The Little and the Great Things includes a reading of the eponymous prayer followed by beautiful piano music based on an original composition of Frederic Chopin. The piano composition includes Nocturne in G Major, Op. 37 No. 2 - Andantino. The nocturne is painted with Chopin's most ethereal brush, characterised by beautiful sensuousness and luscious soft, rounded tones, and not without a certain degree of languor. Something of the warmer Mediterranean climate gently flows into the composer's pen here, perhaps reflective of Chopin's stay on the island of Majorca. This is an example of Chopin's music acting as an aphrodisiac.

This composition intensifies not through ornamentation but through a new textural background. Like the unfolding of a tale, the middle section is told in an agitated recitando; celestial harps come to bring one ray of hope, which is powerless in its endeavour to calm the wounded soul, which sends forth to heaven a cry of deepest anguish.

Members Reviews: Nathan is great A wonderful vibrant book that should be read by anyone interested in hip-hop or music history in general. The end. This is a fabulous overview of the world of hip-hop: the history, the artists, the music and more ... They were dancing in the streets of the Bronx "where a group of DJs (disc jockeys) forged the sound that changed music forever." Hip-hop was born, but in the 1970s it was not a form of music that was embraced by the masses, not until commercial production began. Although not the first group to record, old school hip-hop group, the Sugarhill Gang, had a hit with "Rapper's Delight." It would be a long journey out of the Bronx, but in time this music genre would garner the respect it deserved. It wasn't long before "hip-hop became a group of traditions, styles, and attitudes" that formed its own culture. DJ Afrika Bambaataa claims that hip-hop has four basic elements: breaking, tagging, DJing, and emceeing, all of which are discussed in this book. Hip-hop fans are well aware that historically the basic themes include "poverty, drug addiction, joblessness, single motherhood, and rage at racial discrimination and injustice." DJ Kool Herc (Clive Campbell) was instrumental in honing the hip-hop style and young men like Grandmaster Flash added not only rap, but also "scratching" and "whooshing" to the tracks. The Bronx was alive with music, but the diversification of hip-hop would come when artists became more creative and record companies took notice. In 1970 Kurtis Blow "became the first rapper to sign with a major label." It was a start. The Furious Five, Bambaataa, and the Treacherous Three were some of the first to record. Mainstream radio stations wanted no part of this crazy music, but then strange things began to happen. Michael Jackson broke into MTV and Blondie's Debbie Harry released "Rapture." It looked like hip-hop was sending out a message and that was that people everywhere wanted to hear it. New school hip-hop had arrived as Russell Simmons began to promote artists and groups. Run-D.M.C.had a "tough but radio-friendly sound" and went worldwide with their sound. The Beastie Boys weren't considered to be particularly good rappers, they were white, and were destined to fail. Not. They too became a phenomenon in the genre. Women also began to make inroads into hip-hop as producers, emcees, and rappers. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/American-Country-Audiobook/B01MZCWLOC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: This is a fabulous foray into the lives of the artists and history of country music young readers will enjoy ... A lot of kids think country isn't cool, but in reality it emanates from a lot of different styles, styles that just may have influenced what they are listening to. Country music "had its roots in the fold songs that immigrants brought to the United States from England,Scotland, and Ireland. For a long time the sounds were part of southern culture and it wasn't until talent scouts traveled to the South in search of talent during the 1920s and 1930s they were rediscovered. The talent they found would amaze the rest of the country when they found artists like Jimmie Rodgers and family groups like the Carters. Patsy Montana (Ruby Blevins) could yodel with the best of them and was "also one of country music's first female session musicians." After Patsy sold a cool million copies of one song, WWII rolled around and southern culture began to move across the nation. Even singers like Bing Crosby wanted in on the act and had a hit record. It may have been a hit, but some country folk still like the old-time music Roy Acuff and his group performed, "a traditional mountain-time music lineup of fiddle, string bass, rhythm guitar, and banjo." In the 1940s country began to rock when the rowdy honky-tonk style took hold. Hank Williams may have "made the term honky-tonk famous," but artists such as Floyd Tillman, Al Dexter, Ernest Tubb, Lefty Frizzell, and others wowed their audiences. The honky-tonk artists had to share the stage with the likes of Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys and other bluegrass musicians and bands. One stage they all wouldn't share was the "Grand Ole Opry's," who didn't quite approve of another style dubbed Western swing. Hank Williams, "widely thought to be the greatest country artist of all time," finally made it to the Opry stage with his life-like emotional style. Ever hear the "Ballad of Jed Clampett" from "The Beverly Hillbillies?" Flatt and Scruggs were bluegrass artists from this era. Even Bob Dylan was influenced by Hank Williams's songs. The roots of country didn't stay in the South, but made inroads into many other types of music. In the 1950s the nation was certainly opening its eyes and saw the influence of country music for the first time when Elvis came on the scene with rockabilly. It was a cross between rock and hillbilly and boasted such artists as "Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Wanda Jackson, and Johnny Cash." Country music was branching out and has continued to do so to this day. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/American-Latin-Music-Audiobook/B01N9UTKPI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He examines the way America sees itself, specifically with regard to the propaganda surrounding America's origins (like a heavy-metal Howard Zinn) while also celebrating the quirks and behavior that make a true-blue American. Balancing humor, outrage, and disbelief, Taylor examines the rotting core of America, evaluating everything from politics and race relations to family and "man buns".

Members Reviews: CMFT does it AGAIN Corey knocks another smart, riveting, informative, book out of the park. His use of adjectives and the like are quite entertaining and keep you turning page after page I like his mindset I liked the book. I've listened to all of his books and he has alot off the same mindset I have on life with obvious differences different all in all out was a good read. a rapid step down from his usual but enjoyable none the less. America needs more of this. I'm almost certain you will disagree with or be offended by something in this book, but that's a good thing. Hearing other points of view is great and he has views and problems with both sides, it's not a one sided argument that one party will hate. Another great book by CMFT Hilarious Possibly his best book to date. Very political, in CMFT fashion. If you're republican or Pro-Trump, this book is NOT for you, Lol..ol https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Sacrifice-Magic-Behind-the-Mic-Audiobook/B01H0IIROA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is a well research, non-fiction work. Have you listened to any of Isaac Weishaupts other performances before? How does this one compare? The author is the narrator and does a good job. In fact, far better than a few other authors who have tried to narrate their own work. Any additional comments? The author does a great job of laying out the facts clearly and concisely and uses examples from lyrics, interviews, performances and music videos to support each premise before moving on to the next. The amount of occult examples, including those I have found after reading this book, leaves no doubt in my mind of the insidious occult agenda in todays music. Repetitive & rambling Subject matter is intriguing but I found the book to be repetitive and rambling. It's as if the author wants to piece the info out among several of his books. I didn't learn anything here that I haven't found online for myself. Too bad because I like the author's website and interviews I've heard. I think he is just stretching out info as filler. Great book very well done Just finished this book I binge listened to it since I purchased it after starting to follow your podcast....it is a very informative and well put together book with good insights and information that will definitely get your attention if your a person who Likes being informed and educated about the world of hip hop/ conspiracy theories and conspiracy theories in general. well done I will definitely read more of your books and follow your work!! A good listen. I am a big fan of Isaac, this book was inspiring and reassuring to what I had already known. I enjoyed The Book It was read clear and I enjoyed the story a lot.

Title: Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon Subtitle: Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops, and the Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream Author: David McGowan Narrator: Bill Fike Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 08-23-17 Publisher: Headpress Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 30 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: The very strange but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a 1960s hippie utopia. Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. Members of bands like the Byrds, the Doors, Buffalo Springfield, the Monkees, the Beach Boys, the Turtles, the Eagles, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Steppenwolf, CSN, Three Dog Night, and Love, along with such singer/songwriters as Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, James Taylor, and Carole King, lived together and jammed together in the bucolic community nestled in the Hollywood Hills. But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day. Far more integrated into the scene than most would like to admit was a guy by the name of Charles Manson, along with his murderous entourage. Also floating about the periphery were various political operatives, up-and-coming politicians, and intelligence personnel - the same sort of people who gave birth to many of the rock stars populating the canyon. And all the canyon's colorful characters - rock stars, hippies, murderers, and politicos - happily coexisted alongside a covert military installation. biacuaduc@gmail.com (David McGowan) Wed, 23 Aug 2017 13:29:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Weird-Scenes-Inside-the-Canyon-Audiobook/B074WD8V1G thebookvoice.com 14:01:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Would you listen to Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon again? Why? This is a spooky and dark (though down right fun) collection of unexplained murders, strange coincidence, and bizarre facts. Though the writer suggests that there might be a more nefarious network of conspiracy theories that exist beneath the surface, he does not waste time proposing theories that can't be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. That said, he is not subtle when it comes to pointing out their possible existence. The writer has a Jim Marrs ("Alien Agenda," "Crossfire," "Our Occulted History," and "Population Control") appreciation for a good story, even if that story might be slightly more urban myth than actual fact, though, in due respect to the writer, he does point those differences out. What other book might you compare Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon to and why? I have not read or listened to the book (which can also be found on Audible) myself yet, but the writer spends a lot of time quoting from "Hotel California" by Barney Hoyskns. This book reportedly covers the same territory, and is on my list to be listened to soon. I suspect that Hoyskns book might be taking a more balanced approach to the subject at hand. Which scene was your favorite? There are so many that I can't decide upon a particular favorite. I guess what I kind of like the most about this book is how the music scene in Los Angeles (and specifically Laurel Canyon) sort of suspiciously and mysteriously developed overnight, and how basically untalented a majority of these legends were to begin with. Most also came from military related backgrounds and were given credit for launching a major counterculture movement that many of them had no real sense of or involvement with. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Eating-the-Dinosaur-Audiobook/B002V1M35Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

My friends and I listened to this book on the way out to the cabin this year. I can honestly say that Eating The Dinosaur made it the most enjoyable car ride we've ever had. Klosterman has the gift of being able to put what we are all secretly thinking into words. Usually that talent is reserved for brilliant comedians such as George Carlin or Jerry Seinfeld, but Chuck somehow manages to take it even one step further. SPEND YOUR CREDIT ON THIS BOOK. Enlightening, entertaining and very well produced Chuck breaths humanity and wit into his essays. He also cleverly has his interview pieces with the actual interviewees and other clever pieces are performed with actors. Chuck uses pop culture to delve deep into the human psyche, finding existential truth in the oddest of places. This book made my two hour commute seemingly fly by in minutes. Funny, thought provoking, in the author's voice Humorous and philosophical essays in Klosterman's own pop-culture-writ-large idiom. Read by the author himself, and in some cases by his interview subjects (Ira Glass, Errol Morris). It's strange and interesting to hear someone reading their own remarks after the fact. Overall enjoyable, and if you've liked Klosterman's previous works you won't be disappointed. Lost 1 star just for being regrettably short, and in need of some kind of cohesive narrative (although this might apply to all his essay collections). Not great, but Chuck does make you think This collection of essays is a bit of a hodgepodge of narratives on pop culture, technology, and Chuck's innate observations on everyday life. There isn't a clear flow to the stories, which is annoying but somewhat intriguing all at the same time. He discusses topics ranging from the Unabomber to football, ABBA to time travel, all the while adding his unique flair of witty hipster-nerd humor. It had me laughing out loud during some parts and zoning off uninterested during others. If nothing less, this book will get your thoughts going. Very Solid This is some of Klosterman's best work. Like all his good audio books, it is read by the author. Highly recommend. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-New-Analog-Audiobook/B072M83KL3 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The New Analog Subtitle: Listening and Reconnecting in a Digital World Author: Damon Krukowski Narrator: Damon Krukowski Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 06-06-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: What John Berger did to ways of seeing, well-known indie musician Damon Krukowski does to ways of listening in this lively guide to the transition from analog to digital culture. Having made his name in the late 1980s as a member of the indie band Galaxie 500, Damon Krukowski has watched cultural life lurch from analog to digital. And as an artist who has weathered the transition, he has challenging, urgent questions for both creators and consumers about what we have thrown away in the process. Are our devices leaving us lost in our own headspace even as they pinpoint our location? Does the long reach of digital communication come at the sacrifice of our ability to gauge social distance? Do streaming media discourage us from listening closely? Are we hearing each other fully in this new environment? Rather than simply rejecting the digital disruption of cultural life, Krukowski uses the sound engineer's distinction of signal and noise to reexamine what we have lost as a technological culture, looking carefully at what was valuable in the analog realm so we can hold on to it. Taking a set of experiences from the production and consumption of music that have changed since the analog era - the disorientation of headphones, flattening of the voice, silence of media, loudness of mastering, and manipulation of time - as a basis for a broader exploration of contemporary culture, Krukowski gives us a brilliant meditation and guide to keeping our heads amid the digital flux. Think of it as plugging in without tuning out. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Damon Krukowski) Tue, 06 Jun 2017 15:56:59 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-New-Analog-Audiobook/B072M83KL3 thebookvoice.com 03:48:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I found the opening paragraph (possibly the forward?) to be hilariously ironic, since I was listening to it as a digital audio file, instead of reading it as a paper book. I think there are definitely strong academic benefits to reading books with one's eyes, over listening to them. However, after more than forty years of avid reading with my eyes, they are growing weak. I find it very difficult to read in anything less than bright light, even with my strong reading glasses. And, now that I am listening when I commute and when I work in the kitchen and such, I am "reading" a lot more than I ever did visually. Audio is better for me. I would not go so far as to say it is necessarily better for everyone. And I definitely feel that people who can still see well, especially the young and uneducated, will benefit greatly from actually reading words with their eyes, whether on paper or a screen. What about Damon Krukowskis performance did you like? I like his voice, but I particularly like that the same brilliant person who organized and wrote diown this information was also the voice reading it. When the author is capable of good narration, I definitely like to hear the author read her or his own work. Any additional comments? I thought that i knew a fair amount about digital and audio recording, having been a hobbyist in this area most of my life, and having worked for a few years in commercial radio. However, I was surprised at how very much I learned from this wonderful title. Thank you so much, Damon, for sharing your insights. A+ non-fiction Damom Krukowski has thought a lot about sound. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Metallica-and-Philosophy-Audiobook/B0032CM2JK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Just because it is 2 hours long does not mean that it is not a note worthy listen. If you have ever wanted to know the true origins and the background of hip-hop this is the book for you. The author, [author:Eric Reese|2776559] does more than tell you about mainstream hip-hop but breaks it down into sub sections. I enjoyed the fact that he mention certain forms of hip-hop that does not get as much recognition like gangster rap does. Being of Haitian descent I enjoyed the fact that he mentioned Haiti and what they do for hip-hop. Also there are a lot of people who enjoy K-Pop but did not realize that K or J-Pop was formed because of American Hip-Hop. There were at times where the narrator, William Butler, sounded as a professor and not as someone who enjoyed what they were narrating. For that reason I had to give this audiobook a 4.5 and not a 5. It was well written and I learned a lot. The name of this book does not seem to with the content. However for me that was a good thing. This is so much more and I am glad this was written. Interesting Hip hop book The History of Hip Hop, by Eric Reese, narrated by William Butler. This book is about hip-hop & music. It was interesting to listen to so many new facts about hip-hop. Eric did find a nice way to interpret the history of hip-hop. It provides many remarkable facts about music and history. The narrator also did a good job. Liked his performance. I would recommend it to people interested in music, looking for extra facts. It is about 2 hours long which is suitable to listen. My hope is that this review helps in your decision to obtain this book :) *This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/God-Guns-Rock-n-Roll-Audiobook/B007P69ZKS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Sll he talks about is simply killing animals What do you think the narrator could have done better? The narrator does a pretty good job of reading the text. Could you see God, Guns, & Rock 'n' Roll being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? no Any additional comments? The final straw was when he started to talk about killing elephants, which are an endangered species. This was a mistake getting this book and I am requesting a refund after I finish my review of the book. A great education in gun safety, morals and Rock. Would you listen to God, Guns, & Rock 'n' Roll again? Why? I have listened twice, and learned even more. As well as being entertained, I learned about someone who was very influential in my youth. Ted has inspired me to get "Official" training about gun safety and ownership. We have always had guns at the beach house I grew up in on Long Island, New York. We were always safe. But you can never know too much. The stories of his music are such great fun to hear. I see "Uncle Ted" every time he rolls into Ft. Lauderdale (my home) each year. Usually winding down his tour, getting ready for the upcoming season. Like Uncle Ted says, "The music is great, but sh-t has to die." Who was your favorite character and why? "Uncle Ted" and the story of Fred Bear. What about Scotty Drakes performance did you like? I would rather have heard Ted's voice, but after a while, he was Ted. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? YES I love Uncle Ted great book sure was inspiring I love Uncle Ted perfect book for the non Hunter or the hunter it don't matter Uncle Ted's right and every way Ted for President! Not his best book but still worth reading or listening to.

In the early 1970s amidst the Indian gurus at the Whole Earth Festival at the University of California Davis, I met a young American who admired Ravi Shakar and was, not surprisingly, studying the sitar. He assured me that all of the ragas composed by traditional Indian musicians were designed to enhance or induce spiritual states. Thus, for the Hindu musical tradition of the ragas, the concept that instrumental music affects the human mind and spirit is a basic presupposition. Indeed, the primary purpose of the music is not entertainment but Hindu spiritual development. Nevertheless, it seems that in the modern West, most Christians and secularists alike reject with asperity this elementary insight that the most influential message of music is found in its rhythm, melody and harmony rather than in its lyrics. Therefore, we owe a debt of gratitude to Carson Holloway for this groundbreaking recovery of the role of music in the moral education of human beings. He contrasts the deep concern with music as a moral force of the ancients represented by Plato and Aristotle and of certain moderns such as Rousseau and Nietzsche with the lack of such interest of other moderns such as Hobbes and Locke. Holloway acknowledges Allan Bloom's recognition of the anti-philosohical influence of rock music but finds Bloom's analysis wanting. I think that Holloway succeeds in advancing a rational understanding of the subject. Unfortunately, an objective appraisal of his work is difficult for many because music lies on the fault line of the culture war between those who see the Judeo-Christian ethic as corresponding to the natural order of creation and those whose ethic denies the existence of such an order in favor of human autonomy. Defenders of the Judeo-Christian ethic are typically disarmed on the musical front by their failure to understand what any random student of Ravi Shankar knows: Music directly affects the soul without regard for the rational content of lyrics, which are quite optional. Thus, the sounds of the music, i.e., its musical form, may enhance or detract from any lyrics. Indeed, the form of the music may well be more powerful than the words and overwhelm their message. Holloway makes a useful contribution to our understanding of how music affects us beginning with this recognition that music does affect our souls in powerful ways that matter in both ethics and politics. OK but pretty long-winded and mis-packaged This book does a decent job at describing the theories of music and its effect on character in Plato, Aristotle, Rousseau and Nietzsche. But it does so in a rather long-winded way. I found myself constantly saying 'ok, I get it!' as the author repeated themselves and spelled out their point yet again. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Playing-for-Their-Lives-Audiobook/B01M4N8HIS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Playing for Their Lives Subtitle: The Global El Sistema Movement for Social Change Through Music Author: Tricia Tunstall, Eric Booth Narrator: Bob Souer Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 11-08-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: An eye-opening view of the unprecedented global spread of El Sistema - intensive music education that disrupts the cycles of poverty. In some of the bleakest corners of the world, an unprecedented movement is taking root. From the favelas of Brazil to the Maori villages in New Zealand, from occupied Palestine to South Central Los Angeles, musicians with strong social consciences are founding intensive orchestra programs for children in need. In this captivating and inspiring account, authors Tricia Tunstall and Eric Booth tell the remarkable story of the international El Sistema movement. A program that started over four decades ago with a handful of music students in a parking garage in Caracas, El Sistema has evolved into one of classical music's most vibrant new expressions, and one of the world's most promising social initiatives. Now with more than 700,000 students in Venezuela, El Sistema's central message - that music can be a powerful tool for social change - has burst borders to grow in 64 countries across the globe. Critic Reviews: "A remarkable narrative with broad appeal to everyone from sociologists to general readers, this is one of the best recent books promoting social change."

(Library Journal) Members Reviews: Empowering the world's children through music If you need an infusion of hope in these challenging times, let Eric Booth and Tricia Tunstall show you children around the world experiencing the power of music. This book examines the lifeline that El Sistema music programs provide to kids in the midst of poverty, war, drugs, and all kinds of strife, and tells the stories of how theses students find inspiration to traverse all these struggles through the inherent beauty of music and the super-charge of getting to connect with others through that beauty. By the time you get to the end, you'll want to know how you can help - and there is a thorough collection of resources to help you get involved, or to help you network with other organizations out there who are changing the world. A truly excellent, well-researched and invigorating read! An inspiring, must-read book! I first heard of El Sistema several years ago when Gustavo Dudamel was on the rise. Little did I know how amazing this program is and how it has spread all over the world. I was so inspired by this book, "Playing for Their Lives." It reveals how music and ensemble playing can really elevate the human condition, not by creating more performing artists in the world, but by offering hope, value, a sense of community and belonging to the children and their families who are left out of society. Thank you, Eric Booth and Tricia Tunstall, for articulating so vividly how passionate individuals can come together to make the world a better place. Count me in! IF IT CAN HAPPEN THERE, WHY NOT HERE? I'd wondered how the Venezuelan Sistema Orchestra could afford to travel to New York City given the country's dire financial straits. Obviously, Dudamel is a big drawing card, but I had no idea of the international scope El Sistema had grown to. One can only ask red-faced and embarrassed by the U.S. doesn't have such a compelling force for music as opposed to piecemeal and scattered programs (many of them good, admittedly). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Man-Who-Killed-Paul-McCartney-Audiobook/B0779LX425 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: SHprt Read But Enjoyable I purchased this because it was supposed to give the true story behind the Paul Is Dead rumor. However, there is more! There is an article reviewing all the Beatle knock off albums. There are two chapters that surprised me and entertained me (if you do not like spoilers, stop reading now). One had to do with George Harrison and the other with Graham Chapman. I think i read the entire book in less than an hour, but I still recommend it. Rock and Rolll There were some truly amazing stories in this book. It was well written, but it didn't keep me rapt as so many books do. There are some great items in here and I truly think that anyone worth their salt in Rock and Roll History will enjoy it to the end. I just didn't quite make it there. NICE READ FOR A BEATLE FAN FOR THE SMALL PRICE THAT I PAID FOR THE KINDLE DOWNLOAD, THIS WAS A VERY INTERESTING READ. BE AWARE THAT IT IS A VERY LIGHT READ. Two Stars Does not tell you who killed Paul McCartney. This book is a quick one-off from an armchair. so so Not what I expected but it's an okay read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Modern-Scholar-Rock-n-Roll-and-American-Society-Part-One-Audiobook/B006ZO0YKG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Informative But Factually Flawed In Some Respects Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? The author describes the roots of Rock 'n Roll from the time of Charlie Patton forward to 1960s. There is the obligatory nod to Robert Johnson. Various genres of music from blues to country to gospel have an influence on an emerging musical format. In addition to artists like Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Bo Diddly, Buddy Holly, there is coverage of DJ's, record producers, songwriters, and managers who are described in this account. The lecturer often indicates the influence particular musicians had on those who followed. What other book might you compare The Modern Scholar: Rock 'n' Roll and American Society: Part One to and why? Any collection of articles by Lester Bangs. Audible has many biographies and autobiographies of musicians. What about the narrators performance did you like? The author and narrator are the same and the presentation is in lecture format. The lecturer is polished and easy to follow. If this book were a movie would you go see it? A movie could probably not be made of this subject. Any additional comments? Audible usually provides an accompanying booklet in PDF for with a Modern Scholar title but fails to do so here.The lecturer makes some grating errors and omissions. Johnny Cash did not put tissue paper under the strings of his guitar to achieve his sound. Country music of that era did not feature drums so Cash would put regular paper under his guitar strings to mimic the snap of a snare drum. Les Paul is mentioned as a pioneer who made electric guitars and experimented with multi-track recording. However, completely unmentioned was Leo Fender who had a far greater influence. Leo Fender made the first electric bass guitars that truly give rock music its drive and its rhythm. His Stratocasters and Telecasters are used by more musicians than Les Paul guitars. Finally, Leo Fender made wonderful amplifiers to suit the needs of musicians, including the need for distortion and reverb. Well researched and accurate I am extremely impressed with this audio book and will be recommending it to my students. The author takes the time to pay homage to many lesser known artists and musicians who laid the foundation of what we now know as rock and roll. Musicians like Charlie Patton, Jelly Roll Morton, and Son House, as well as promoters Alan Lomax, and John Hammond to name a few. He also examines the role that segregation and racial predgudice in the evolution of this music; which seems to be conveniently left out most histories of rock. Educational I've been listening to rock since I was 12, back then I had a Guns n' Roses poster pinned to my bedroom door. My listening zone usually includes bands from the 70s, 80s and 90s. So I really missed out on the Rock 'n' Roll artists of the 50s and 60s. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Music-for-the-People-Audiobook/B004XWDZW6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good but opportunities missed There is no doubt that Gareth Malone is inspirational - one has just to observe his work with the most unlikely of people in The Choir to appreciate that. This enthusiasm is carried over into this book/audibook. I came to this as someone who has a lifelong liking of classical music but lacked the indepth understanding of music theory to really appreciate the music I was listening to. This book is a good introduction to understanding music though at times was a bit too basic for me - though admittedly I do play the piano (albeit badly) and therefore already knew the basics of music. There are two problems with this audiobook. The first is that it is a reading of the book and this includes lists. In the book lists are great for reference and going back to but are not great in an audiobook. This often included lists of compositions to listen to. For these the book would be a better option. My second problem is that insufficient advantage was taken of the audio form of the book. Whilst there are some pieces of music played there would have been enormous benefit for more demonstration of musical instruments and instrumental pieces. Really what Gareth Malone needs to do is to produce a special version for audiobook which would really use the advantage of musical demonstration and comparison to really help the listener understand music. Having said this I thoroughly enjoyed listening and learnt a lot. Why didn't I have a music teacher like Gareth? The content of this book was excellent: diverse and sometimes challenging. However, I never felt that I was stupid for not understanding this type of music and Gareth is never snobby about it. I bought the book as I wanted to be able to listen to more music without getting frustrated by it and just switching it off. I now listen to music on radio 3 and classic FM with a different 'ear' and am starting to enjoy things I would never have listened to before. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/I-Hear-America-Singing-Audiobook/B01D25PDZG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It reveals a great deal about present-day understandings of community and belonging. It celebrates the shared traditions that define a group or nation. In America, folk music - from African-American spirituals to English ballads and protest songs - renders the imagined community more tangible and comprises a critical component of our diverse national heritage. In "I Hear America Singing", Rachel Donaldson traces the vibrant history of the 20th-century folk music revival from its origins in the 1930s through its end in the late 1960s. She investigates the relationship between the revival and concepts of nationalism, showing how key figures in the revival - including Pete Seeger, Alan Lomax, Moses Asch, and Ralph Rinzler - used songs to influence the ways in which Americans understood the values, the culture, and the people of their own nation.

Members Reviews: Very interesting listen Where does Why We Love Music rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This is a great listen for anyone with an interest in music and psychology, although a few parts did go over my head a bit ( there are a couple of bits that go quite in depth in to acoustics and the science behind music), Any additional comments? This could be improved by the addition of musical excerpts when certain elements of music are being described as it can be a bit hard to follow without the visual aid of music scores which are included in the book. Fascinating Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would recommend this to musician friends, as it simply contains so much remarkable and entertaining information Any additional comments? The book constantly refers to the PDF notes.

This is story that needs to be told. Conductor Paul MacAlindin worked tirelessly and against great odds to help fulfil the dream of Iraqi youth who wanted to play in an orchestra. The book details the summers spent in Iraq rehearsing together, trips to the UK, France, and Germany to play at festivals and interact with European youth orchestras, and finally the bitter end of the orchestra as the Islamic State destroyed any sense of security in which art and culture can grow. Paul's insights into the politics, machinations, and personal impact on the young musicians make the historical narrative relevant and colorful. The book is called Upbeat, but joy and sorrow are doled out each in good measure. Five Stars Love it Fantastic and uplifting book Fantastic and uplifting book. Provides fascinating insight into the culture of Iraq, the true and unseen impacts of warfare, and the logistics of setting up and establishing a youth orchestra - in a country not noted for Western orchestral music. Very readable, interesting, and all told in an uplifting and positive manner. Inspirational. A must-read regardless of your background. An honest, candid, heartfelt, and heartbreaking story portraying the cold and begrudging political, fiscal, and cultural realities that are involved when faced with the task of trying to rebuild a decimated country that the rest of the world has seemingly left behind through a universal means: music. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/You-Must-Remember-This-Audiobook/B0032N8EUK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/331/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.
