A fascinating history of Canada’s rock and roll talent—from obscure artists to major stars.

Rock and roll was born in the United States during the 1950s. Its popularity rapidly grew, spreading across the Atlantic to England.

What’s often forgotten in these histories is the evolution of Canadian rock and roll during the same period. Over the years, a huge contingent of Canadian artists has made invaluable contributions to rock and roll. The list of innovative Canadian artists is quite impressive: Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Paul Anka, Arcade Fire, The Band, Bryan Adams, Rush, Leonard Cohen, Celine Dion, Diana Krall, Gordon Lightfoot, Sarah McLachlan, Alanis Morissette, Tegan and Sara, Feist, Nickelback, and many others, not to mention the all-star producers, such as Daniel Lanois (U2, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel), Bob Rock (Metallica, MARKETING Aerosmith, Bon Jovi), Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, Kiss), and David Foster (Michael Jackson, Celine Dion). • Print reviews in newspapers and rock music magazines, such as Rolling Stone, Classic Rock, Spin, and Mojo The history of Canadian rock and roll is a lively, entertaining, • National and local radio interviews with the author on classic rock and largely untold tale.

The first book to cover the entire arc of Ringo Starr’s life and career, from his birth in Liverpool to the present day.

Ringo: With a Little Help, is the first in-depth biography of Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, who kept the beat for an entire generation and who remains a rock icon over fifty years since the Beatles took the world by storm. With a Little Help traces the entire arc of Ringo’s remarkable life and career, from his sickly childhood to his life as the world’s most famous drummer to his triumphs, addictions, and emotional battles following the breakup of the Beatles as he comes to terms with his legacy. Born in 1940 as Richard Starkey in The Dingle, one of Liverpool’s most gritty, rough-and-tumble neighborhoods, he rose from a hardscrabble childhood—marked by serious ill- nesses, long hospital stays, and little schooling—to emerge, against all odds, as a locally renowned drummer.

He was the last member of the Beatles to join the group MARKETING but also the most vulnerable, and his post-Beatles career was • Includes extensive interviews with such drumming icons as Phil marked by chart-topping successes, a jet-setting life of excess Collins, John Densmore, and Kenny Aronoff and alcohol abuse, and, ultimately, his rebirth as one of rock’s • Publicity targeting music magazines such as Billboard, Spin, revered elder statesman.

1115065 2015SpringBookCat.indd 19 11/17/14 2:31 PM JULY The SG Guitar Book 50 Years of Gibson’s Stylish Solid Guitar by Tony Bacon Backbeat Books

Part of Tony Bacon’s best-selling series of guitar books, here is the first complete full-color history of the Gibson SG.

To many vintage guitar fans, it seems inconceivable that Gibson dumped the sunburst Les Paul in 1960 and, during the following year, introduced a completely new design, the one that we know now as the SG (“solid guitar”). At the time, however, it made good business sense. Sales of the Les Paul were faltering, and Gibson decided to blow a breath of fresh air through its solidbody electric guitar line. The company described the result as an “ultra-thin, hand-contoured, double-cutaway body.” The modernistic amalgam of bevels and points and angles was a radical departure, and this new book tells the story of all the SG models that followed: the Junior, MARKETING Special, Standard, Custom, and more. • Copromotions with Gibson There are interviews with and stories about Gibson personnel • National print and online publicity to guitar magazines for both through the years, and all the major SG players, including Pete players and collectors Townshend, Frank Zappa, Eric Clapton, Angus Young, George • Reviews and features targeting guitar magazines, including Guitar Harrison, Gary Rossington, Tony Iommi, and Derek Trucks. World, Guitar Player, Vintage Guitar, Premier Guitar, and Guitar In the tradition of Tony Bacon’s best-selling series of guitar Aficionado books, The SG Guitar Book is three great volumes in one RELATED TITLES: The Stratocaster Chronicles (978634056789); package: a collection of drool-worthy pictures of the coolest Sunburst: How the Gibson Les Paul Standard Became a Legendary guitars; a gripping story from the earliest prototypes to the latest Guitar (97816117134661) exploits; and a detailed collector’s database of every production SG model ever made.

TONY BACON (Bristol, UK) writes about musical instruments, musicians, and music. He is a cofounder of Backbeat UK and Jawbone Press. His many books include Sunburst: How the Gibson Les Paul Standard Became a Legendary Guitar, The Ultimate Guitar Book, and History of the American Guitar.

David Rothenberg’s multilayered life thrust him into Broadway’s brightest lights, prison riots, political campaigns, civil rights sit-ins, and a Central American civil war.

“The stage should be seen as a laboratory where the belief systems, the mores, the myths, the histories, and strivings of a people may be presented in full dimension, so that audiences might judge for themselves what is right, what is wrong, what needs to be changed, and what need be left alone.”

This anthology of five full-length plays collectively outlines a cultural history of black America in the post–Civil Rights era, from the late 20th century through the first decades of the 21st. Black Terror looks at the radical politics of the Black Power era; The Sirens, the destabilization of black familial and social life in the early 1970s; The Mighty Gents, the destructiveness of “black macho” in the late 1970s; The Talented Tenth, the midlife crisis and the end of idealism in the black middle class in the early 1980s; and Autumn, the new generational paradigm in black urban politics in the early 21st century.

The fascinating story of the hugely successful American band that defined life in the fast lane.

If the Beatles wrote the soundtrack of the swinging ’60s, then the Eagles did the same for the cynical ’70s. The story of the Eagles is also the story of most artists of their time—the drugs, the music, the excesses, and the piles of cash. But the Eagles took it to the limit. And in Don Henley and Glenn Frey they had two songwriters who intuitively understood and accurately portrayed the changing America they lived in. They perfected the California sound, shifted power from record company to artist, and pioneered album-oriented rock. Eagles songs of the period are as memorable as any ever written, and their most popular album, Hotel California, became a timeless record of ’70s decadence. In The Eagles FAQ, music critic Andrew Vaughan brings an insider’s view into the various chapters of the group’s fascinating history. He shows how they blended the best folk, rock, and MARKETING country sounds of the ’60s into a worldwide soundtrack of • Band has a long history and is current, with a recent theatrical the ’70s while challenging the industry status quo with a new documentary movie and world tour business model.

Written within two years of each other, and both set in villages in southern Italy, they feature dramatic confrontations, turbulent emotions, and gritty realism. Cavalleria Rusticana takes place on Easter in a Sicilian vil- lage, where Turiddu, after returning from the army to find his beloved Lola married to the carter Alfio, found solace with the peasant girl Santuzza but ultimately betrayed her and ruined her reputation. When Turiddu goes back to Lola, Santuzza seeks revenge, with tragic results.

An important, rare biography of a highly influential Russian composer—rich with correspondence and other material available in English for the first time.

Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov is one of Russia’s great musical figures. Although largely self-taught, he became a professor at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory and one of the famed “Mighty Handful” of Russian nationalist composers. Works like Scheherazade and Capriccio Espagnol remain popular, as does his textbook on orchestration. His influence extended from students like Stravinsky and Prokofiev to non-Russian composers such as Debussy, Dukas, and Ravel. Yet relatively little written about him is available outside Russia. Rimsky-Korsakov: Letters to His Family and Friends is a rare, revealing look at the composer, written by his granddaughter Tatiana. Featuring a wealth of correspondence and photographs from his family’s archives, this book provides new, fascinating MARKETING details about the composer’s life, work, and relations with • Publicity campaign in classical music magazines, including Whole close friends and colleagues, including Borodin, Mussorgsky, Note, Symphony, Classical Music, BBC Music, Gramophone, and and Tchaikovsky.

The ultimate, sponge-worthy guide to all things Seinfeld!

Is it a show about nothing or one of the greatest TV series of all time? It’s both, of course! Seinfeld’s impact on popular culture was so profound that it continues to this day—years after it left prime time—thanks to the inimitable characters (Newman! The Soup Nazi!), the wacky, memorable plots (who can forget “The Contest” or “The Puffy Shirt”?), and the many catchphrases we still use regularly (not that there’s anything wrong with that). Seinfeld FAQ is an entertaining, comprehensive guide to the sitcom, tracing its path from modest beginnings to water- cooler-show status and to its infamous, love-it-or-hate-it finale. This book tells all about Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer, as well as the other unforgettable characters in their world—their bosses and co-workers, their nemeses, their quirky families, and their inevitably doomed relationships. It features actor MARKETING profiles, synopses of every episode, and a wealth of fun facts about everything from the characters’ neuroses and obsessions • Print reviews in newspapers and television/comedy magazines, to the show’s New York City atmosphere and the controversies such as The Comic Bible, TV Guide, Entertainment Weekly, and Variety that arose from Seinfeld’s no-holds-barred brand of comedy. • Online reviews, excerpts, and giveaways on television/comedy Nicholas Nigro also shows how the series broke new ground websites such as Laughspin, Rotten Tomatoes, the AV Club, and how television after Seinfeld would never be the same.
