http://www.lybrary.com/index.php?cPath=398 Copyright © 2013 Lybrary.comWhenever you hear the prevalent wailing blues harmonica in commercials, film soundtracks or at a blues club, you are experiencing the legacy of the master harmonica player, Little Walter. Immensely popular in his lifetime, Little Walter had fourteen Top 10 hits on the R&B charts, and he was also the first Chicago blues musician to play at the Apollo. Ray Charles and B.B. King, great blues artists in their own right, were honored to sit in with his band. However, at the age of 37, he lay in a pauper's grave in Chicago. This book will tell the story of a man whose music, life and struggles continue to resonate to this day.http://www.lybrary.com/blues-with-a-feeling-the-little-walter-story-p-296580.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/blues-with-a-feeling-the-little-walter-story-p-296580.htmlWed, 22 May 2013 08:30:52 EDT http://www.lybrary.com/shell-shocked-my-life-with-the-turtles-flo-and-eddie-and-frank-zappa-etc-p-295172.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/shell-shocked-my-life-with-the-turtles-flo-and-eddie-and-frank-zappa-etc-p-295172.htmlSun, 19 May 2013 15:32:18 EDT Carefully researched, filled with numerous anecdotes collected from fans and with insights gathered from Etheridge's friends and colleagues, Our Little Secret also features a useful bibliography of some 250 sources and a comprehensive discography.

This book traces the daily working life and aspirations of British musicians during the sweeping social and economic transformation of Britain from 1750 to 1850. It features working musicians of all types and at all levels - organists, singers, instrumentalists, teachers, composers, and entrepreneurs - and explores their educational background, their conditions of employment, their wages, the systems of patronage that supported them, and their individual perceptions. Deborah Rohr focuses not only on social and economic pressures but also on a range of negative cultural beliefs faced by the musicians. Also considered are the implications of such conditions for their social and professional status, and for their musical aspirations.http://www.lybrary.com/the-careers-of-british-musicians-17501850-p-293064.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/the-careers-of-british-musicians-17501850-p-293064.htmlTue, 14 May 2013 10:46:33 EDT This vivid oral snapshot of an America that planted the blues is full of rhythmic grace.

Join Bill Gutman as he explores the fascinating life of this legend from his birth at the turn of the century to his death at the age of seventy-five. Interviewing Duke's friends, fans and fellow musicians, Gutman documents the progress of a man who dedicated his life to crafting the ever-changing sound of jazz. Gutman plunges into the history of jazz from its origin in the black America honky-tonk sounds of the Ragtime Era to the serious form enjoyed by those of every age, color, and musical taste. Jazz has evolved through the years to become one of the most popular forms of music with Duke Ellington as chief composer, artist and perfomer. Gutman's account of Ellington's life as it parallels the history of jazz provides a fascinating history for both jazz veterans and those new to the art form.http://www.lybrary.com/drifters-war-p-291494.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/drifters-war-p-291494.htmlWed, 08 May 2013 13:44:59 EDT (Book). Read & Burn is the first serious, in-depth appraisal of Wire, one of the most influential British bands to emerge during the punk era. If Wire were briefly a punk band, however, it was largely by historical accident. Despite the fact that they had complicated and transformed that category almost before they'd begun, they seem never to have quite escaped the label. Be it punk, post-punk, or art-punk, critics have clung onto the p-word in an attempt to capture the essence of Wire's innovative uniqueness. But their story which honors punk's original yet quickly forgotten commitment to the new is one of constant remaking and remodelling, one that stubbornly resists reduction to a single identity. As a result, the group's projects have always balanced uneasily between artistic endeavour and the need for commercial sustainability, played out against the backdrop of the musicians' perennially complex creative relationships. Tracing Wire's diverse output from 1977 up until the present, Read & Burn seeks to do justice to their highly influential and restlessly inventive body of work by developing a sustained critical account of their shifting approaches. It combines analysis and interpretation with perspective drawn from exclusive interviews with past and present members of the band.http://www.lybrary.com/read-burn-a-book-about-wire-p-290699.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/read-burn-a-book-about-wire-p-290699.htmlMon, 06 May 2013 18:41:00 EDT Viennese composer Hugo Wolf produced one of the most important song collections of the nineteenth century when he set to music fifty-three poems by the great German poet Eduard Mhttp://www.lybrary.com/hugo-wolf-and-his-moerike-songs-p-289060.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/hugo-wolf-and-his-moerike-songs-p-289060.htmlFri, 03 May 2013 17:41:39 EDT <p>Chronicling a young woman's four-year relationship with the lead singer of the Doors, this intensely intimate memoir provides a direct and unprecedented view of the late-1960s Los Angeles subculture. When Judy Huddleston's parents got divorced, she spent her last year of high school attending concerts. Transformed from a perceptive child into a rebellious teenager bent on attracting boys and fueled by psychedelics, she had lost her sense of self. That's when Jim Morrison came into her life. Honest, funny and direct, Huddleston provides an emotional portrayal of an unbalanced sexual relationship with a man whose demons haunted everyone he knew, while offering an even-handed portrait of Jim as a complex human being. Written in the idealistic and simultaneously jaded voice of a teenager, this is a tale of sex, obsession, misplaced spirituality, and an unforgettable fall from innocence.http://www.lybrary.com/love-him-madly-an-intimate-memoir-of-jim-morrison-p-288705.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/love-him-madly-an-intimate-memoir-of-jim-morrison-p-288705.htmlFri, 03 May 2013 01:31:24 EDT Combining a close study of Monteverdi's secular works with recent research on late Renaissance history, Gary Tomlinson places the composer's creative career in its broad cultural context and illuminates the state of Italian music, poetry, and ideology in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.http://www.lybrary.com/monteverdi-and-the-end-of-the-renaissance-p-280907.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/monteverdi-and-the-end-of-the-renaissance-p-280907.htmlThu, 18 Apr 2013 00:34:44 EDT Are you the world's biggest Justin Timberlake fan?
