Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Doobie Brothers On Track tells the story of a band that helped define one of the most transformative decades in popular music. Formed in California in 1970, The Doobie Brothers blended blues, folk and R&B with tight harmonies and road-tested musicianship. Their early hits'Listen to the Mu…sic', 'Long Train Runnin'', 'China Grove' and 'Black Water'captured the easygoing optimism of the West Coast while reflecting a country in transition after the upheavals of the 1960s. As the decade unfolded, the band evolved alongside the changing sound of rock. Guitarist Jeff "Skunk" Baxter brought a jazz sensibility from his time with Steely Dan, while singer and keyboardist Michael McDonald introduced smooth, soulful textures that reshaped the group's identity. With Takin' It to the Streets and the Grammy-winning Minute by Minute, The Doobie Brothers became one of the few bands able to bridge bar-band grit and radio polish without losing credibility. This book places their journey within the broader story of 1970s American musica period of genre-blending, studio innovation and shifting cultural moods. Drawing connections to contemporaries like Little Feat and Steely Dan, it explores how The Doobies balanced experimentation with accessibility and why their songs continue to resonate today. More than a band biography, it's a portrait of resilience and reinventionhow a group rooted in California's club scene learned to adapt, thrive and keep audiences listening for over fifty years.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When Black Sabbath parted ways with Ozzy in 1979, it could have all gone badly wrong for them. Instead, with Ronnie James Dio, fresh from Rainbow, they came back rejuvenised with a brace of albums which helped redefine rock and metal in the 80s. Two futher studio albums followed later, includ…ing one under their new moniker Heaven & Hell. Black Sabbath The Dio years looks at the three different Dio eras with every album and track put under the microscope, including all of the live albums and bonus tracks. The narrative of the band is often murky, especially in the year which led to the release of their debut Heaven And Hell. For the first time, this period is examined carefully to establish the sequence of events. Contributing to the book are three men who were involved in the production and engineering of the records- Joe Foglia, Mike Exeter and Wyn Davis. Each offers new insight into the working processes. Greg Hildebrandt also contributes the chilling story behind his painting, 'Mob Dream', which became the cover for Mob Rules.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For a few short years in the 1970s, the unique music of Focus entertained the world. Built around the prodigious instrumental talents of Dutch masters Jan Akkerman (guitar) and Thijs van Leer (keyboards and flute), the band produced three classic hit albums in quick succession between 1971 an…d 1974, at the same time scoring two worldwide hits with 'Sylvia' and 'Hocus Pocus'. The latter piece is as ubiquitous as tunes from the 70s get, distinctive for Akkerman's famous riff and van Leer's bizarre yodeling. Musical and personal tensions between the two led to a split in early 1976, but the band limped on without Akkerman until 1978. An unlikely revival in 1985 was a false dawn, and except for a few public appearances, the duo have not played together since. Stephen Lambe's book guides the reader through the band's early history, dealing with all seven Focus albums from the era song by song, plus the eponymous 1985 comeback. It is an important potted history of the band and an insight into the tensions which led to such a creative - if short-lived peak. But the book also acts as an essential guide to the astonishing music the two men made together and sometimes apart - while at the apex of their powers.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - We only ever get glimpses of Ian Dury; nothing is as it seems. From irascible rogue to national treasure, pop star to social commentator, cockney geezer to artist, he was a man greater than the sum of his parts. Part teddy boy, part punk, part vaudeville act; he was unique. The music that ema…nates from this powerful personality echoes the heart and drive of their complex creator. Dury began his career as a frontman with post-punk outfit Kilburn And The High Roads, but had his greatest success with backing band The Blockheads, which featured Chis Jankel and Wilko Johnson at various times. He found true commercial success with the albums New Boots And Panties and Do It Yourself. Dury went on to a critically acclaimed solo career and worked with The Blockheads again on the 1997 album Mr Love Pants. He also had a slew of non-album hits, especially the UK number one 'Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick'. In this book, Opher Goodwin dissects his albums and songs to tease out their spirit and reveal the inspirations behind them. This is Ian Dury: a Blockhead, a genius.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - As Love's most revered album is titled Forever Changes, it's little wonder that their superior back catalogue encompasses a multitude of genres: folk rock, garage, jazz rock, baroque, psychedelia, soul, funk, and reggae - or certainly Arthur Lee's does. But who can separate Love from their be…leaguered yet brilliant front man Love On Track explores the many embodiments of his group, with his solo work closely examined at the same time. Love were the first rock signing to folk label Elektra and something of this contradiction inhabits their work. From the raw beat of their eponymous debut, to sweetly ruminative songs on Da Capo, to the ultimate comment on the counter-culture in Forever Changes, onto Four Sail's auguring the hard rocking 1970s, these albums represent Love's best known work. But the book knows the Love story doesn't end there. There's the epic double album Out Here, collaborations with Jimi Hendrix, vegetarian protest songs, and a gorgeously romantic revival in Five String Serenade. There are also stops along the way to recall the solo work of Bryan MacLean et al, a new interview with Berton Averre, who played with Lee in the 1990s, and a detailed look at live recordings the book is a real labour of Love.
