Brian Southall : The Hollies Story before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The Hollies Story:

But a little disappointing. To begin with, there are several errors where wrong names or titles appear that could've been prevented with simple proof-reading. And some things, such as Bobby Elliott's illness in 1967 where several drummers filled in for him on the road in the studio, are only briefly touched on and others not mentioned at all. Another weakness is the author's not going into more detail on the music. The booklet that accompanied The Long Road Home box set was far superior and could've been used as a reference work here, if the writer had been so inclined. But on the other hand, there were some very interesting revelations that the book brought to light that I never knew before...such as bassist Eric Haydock continuing as the band's bassist, even after Bernie Calvert had come in as his replacement in May 1966, until he was officially fired in July 1965.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Good Introduction to the Hollies but NOT a definitive biography.By Christopher L. DolmetschGood but not as thorough as one would expect in a musical biography today! Many important developments in the earliest history of the Hollies are either omitted or simply glossed over. Also it would have been helpful to have a little more analysis of each album in the progression of the band. The first two albums were very much the product of "what we sing on stage" which was overwhelmingly covers of familiar rb songs. The third LP marked the first true progression for the band into two styles: folk as rock (e.g. "Very Last Day") and strong self-composed songs that transcended simple pop. While hit singles, often composed by others, were the bread-and-butter of the Hollies for more than three years, they stretched in the EP and album fields into ever more complex and distinctive musical formats Banjos, folk, changeable tempos, all became hallmarks of the Hollies. I miss a lot of explanation into the motivation and design in the narrative here. This book is *a good introduction* into the Hollies story but it is by no means *the definitive* story of one of British rock's most remarkable bands.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I enjoyed this bookBy CustomerI really don't know why I bought this book, the Hollies were not one of my favorite groups in the sixties but I'm glad I did. I enjoyed it and I learned a lot about the Hollies and the recording business in general. It is a good read and very interesting. Oh, I bought their greatest hits album and am enjoying the songs much more now than I did in the 60s and 70s.
The Hollies are the English Rock Group known for their pioneering and distinctive three part vocal harmony style. They became one of the leading British groups of the 1960s and achieved US chart success in 1966 with their hit 'Bus Stop'. Graham Nash left the group in 1968 to form the super group Crosby, Stills Nash.
