This episode's guest is author, comedian, and musician Aug Stone. The audio version of his fictional comedy book from 2023 The Ballad Of Buttery Cake Ass has just been released. It's the story of two music obsessives who embark on a hilarious quest to track down Buttery Cake Ass' Live In Hungaria, an album as legendary as it is obscure. Their pursuit of one of the greatest bands ever unknown takes them down many a bizarre path teeming with grand ideas and grander egos in this ode to record shopping and what it's like to be in your first band. Packed with puns, allusions, and references across a wide range of culture, both popular and not, Aug offers up a big slice of the fun and frustration of playing rock n roll.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” by Crowander / “Last Train North” & “No Mercy” by TrackTribe

Greg Prato is a returning guest to talk about his brand new book “Lanegan”. Mark Lanegan is among the greatest voices of grunge rock’s golden era. His unmistakable and instantly recognizable vocals can be heard on classic recordings on songs by Screaming Trees. He can also be heard on several songs by the band Queens of the Stone Age. He was a poet and an author of several popular books. Sadly, he endured addiction, hard living and health difficulties before passing away in February of 2022 at the age of 57.

Prato pays tribute to one of rock’s great poets and lyricists in this book. It features over 20 all-new interviews with Lanegan’s fellow collaborators, friends and admirers. He'll share some of those stories from the book in this interview including one about the Nirvana song Lanegan co-wrote the lyrics for but isn't credited. Which song is it and why wasn't Lanegan given credit? Find out in this episode!

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander

On this month in 1967, Jefferson Airplane released the album Surrealistic Pillow. It’s considered to be one of the greatest albums to come out of the late 60s counterculture, psychedelic rock era. It's also considered to be one of the greatest albums of all time. Author Richard Butterworth is back on the podcast to talk about the album and the band’s history.

Richard recently released the book “Jefferson Airplane: Every Album, Every Song” as part of Sonicbond’s On Track series. Richard talks about the band’s origins, how they drew on folk, blues, jazz and even literary visionaries to create their sound and lyrical themes. We also get into the band’s rise to prominence followed by their demise. As the book promo states: “Jefferson Airplane burned fierce and bright before their decline with the death of the psychedelic dream in Haight-Ashbury’s dreamily LSD-drenched hippie heartland. More than any other, the band and their recorded output were synonymous with the birth and death of the hippie era.”

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander

Author Andrew Wild returns to the podcast to talk about his brand new book “The Allman Brothers Band: Every Album, Every Song”!

The story of the Allman Brothers band is one of triumph followed by tragedy followed by a remarkable comeback in the wake of that tragedy. As it’s stated in the book’s overview: "The music of the Allman Brothers is the pure distillation of the four main ingredients of American music: blues, rock, jazz and country. At their best, they transcended genre: they just were."

In this episode, Andrew talks with me about the legendary Duane Allman, his little brother Gregg Allman, who, along with his bandmates Dickey Betts, Butch Trucks and Jaimoe carried on in the wake of Duane’s passing and shortly after bassist Berry Oakley’s death. It wasn’t easy. They went through a rough period in the late 70s into the 80s before marking their comeback in the late 80s, a comeback that sustained right up until the death of Gregg and Butch. We’ll cover the legendary albums including ‘At Fillmore East’ and ‘Eat A Peach’ and the later members of the band Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes, who helped rejuvenate Gregg and his bandmates in the late 90s into the 2000s.

Jen B Larson is on the podcast to talk about her new book called “Hit Girls: Women of Punk in the USA, 1975-1983”. “Hit Girls” is the story of local and regional US bands whose legacy would be otherwise lost.

Larson dispels the narrative that women are anomalies in rock music. In fact, women have played important roles in every city and every scene all over the country yet few if any know about most of them. The women in this book are now rightfully exalted to cult status. Their achievements are inspiring new generations of women rockers and you’ll hear from them in this book, which also features over 100 rare and never-before seen images.

Peter Gallagher is back on the podcast. Last time we had him on to talk about his book Warren Zevon: Every Album, Every Song. This time he’s here to talk about his latest book Kiss in the 1970s.

Peter takes us on a journey through KISS’s most eventful decade. In the early days, the band was just about done. Poor album reviews, some merited due to poor production, some underserved. With their record company against the wall and their manager’s money drained, KISS seemed destined to become one of the “lost” bands of the 70s. But, by the end of the decade, they were the biggest band in the world. Or, as they became famously known – "The Hottest Band In The World!"

The music, the costumes, the concerts, the merchandise, the comic books, the TV appearances and the so bad it’s good ’78 film Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park. Peter is here to tell us all about it in part one of a two-part interview. In part two we the 14 albums released during that original era of the band with Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. That includes the studio albums, the live albums and the four solo albums. That episode is coming soon!

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander

Most music memoirs and autobiographies are about the artist paying their dues and then reaching the big time. In “Rock N Roll Will Only Break Your Heart”, there is no "big time" for the author. Instead, it's about getting from point A to point B while still trying to find point C. And you know what? The ride is just as colorful without the platinum records.

Kenward Cooper tells his story in a heartfelt way, while also finding humor in his struggles and misfortunes, tracing the time when he was at the cusp of the Las Vegas music scene, just before the success of the Killers, Panic! at the Disco, and Imagine Dragons, and the grief of his marriage ending after a romantic rivalry involving a member of one of the aforementioned bands.

From journalism to songwriting, performing, and screenwriting, Kenward takes on many endeavors - all with the same goal of trying to make his mark. He travels from coast to coast and internationally in a never-ending pursuit of dreams. Rock n roll will only break your heart. But it will put a smile on your face while it does it.

Kenward Cooper is a man of many passions. Music will always be number one. He’s been a ghostwriter on a hit song and has licensed his music for television. With an urge to tell stories in another creative form, he immersed himself in the craft of writing screenplays. “Rock N Roll Will Only Break Your Heart” is another extension of his writing and his first book.

Following his 2016 smash hit “Anatomy of a Song”, acclaimed music journalist Marc Myers has collected fifty-five new oral histories of iconic songs from his popular Wall Street Journal column.

Songs that sell the most copies become hits, but some of those hits become something more—iconic recordings that not only inspire a generation but also change the direction of music. In “Anatomy of 55 More Songs”, based on his column for the Wall Street Journal, music journalist and historian Marc Myers tells the story behind fifty-five rock, pop, R&B, country, and soul-gospel hits through intimate interviews with the artists who wrote and recorded them.

Part oral history, part musical analysis, “Anatomy of 55 More Songs” ranges from Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Bad Moon Rising” to Dionne Warwick’s “Walk On By,” The Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations,” and Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid.” Bernie Taupin recalls how he wrote the lyrics to Elton John’s “Rocket Man;” Joan Jett remembers channeling her rage against how she had been unfairly labeled and treated as a female rocker into “Bad Reputation;” and Ozzy Osbourne, Elvis Costello, Bob Weir, Sheryl Crow, Alice Cooper, Roberta Flack, John Mellencamp, Keith Richards, Carly Simon, and many others reveal the emotions and technique behind their major works.

Through an absorbing chronological, song-by-song analysis of the most memorable post-war hits, “Anatomy of 55 More Songs” provides a sweeping look at the evolution of pop music between 1964 and today. This book will change how you listen to music and evaluate the artists who create it.

Marc Myers is a regular contributor to the Wall Street Journal, where he writes about music and the arts. He is the author of the critically acclaimed books “Anatomy of a Song”, “Why Jazz Happened”, and “Rock Concert”. You can hear Mark talk about that book in episode 31 of Booked On Rock. Marc also posts daily at JazzWax.com, a three-time winner of the Jazz Journalists Association’s award for Jazz Blog of the Year.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)

As told by the late great lead tenor Gordon Stoker, this is the story of the greatest backup group in the history of recorded music and that is undoubtedly the Jordanaires, a gospel group of mostly Tennessee boys, formed in the 1940s, that set the standard for studio vocal groups in the '50s, '60s, '70s, and beyond. In their sixty-five-year career, from 1948 through 2013, the recordings they sang on have sold an estimated eight billion copies. They sang on more than 200 of Elvis's recordings, including most of his biggest hits. They were in three of his best-known movies, appeared with him on most of his early nation-wide TV shows, and toured with him for many years.

Throughout Elvis's early career, the Jordanaires were his most trusted friends and probably his most positive influence. While the Jordanaires' bread and butter may have been Nashville's burgeoning recording industry, it seemed that there was always a plane waiting to take them cross country to the pop sessions in L.A. They sang on most of Ricky Nelson's biggest hits and over the years backed up Andy Williams, Fats Domino, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Dinah Shore, The Everly Brothers, Glen Campbell, Patti Page, Neil Young, Perry Como, Loretta Lynn, Ringo Starr, Tom Jones, Andy Griffith, Bobby Vinton, Brenda Lee, Patsy Cline, Billy Ray Cyrus, Clyde McPhatter, and about 2,100 other recording acts.

Michael Kosser is a senior editor at American Songwriter magazine, where he has written a column on songwriting called "Street Smarts" for the past twenty years. Since 1979, Kosser's songs have been recorded by George Jones, Barbara Mandrell, Conway Twitty, Tammy Wynette, Charlie Rich, and others. Many of his songs have appeared on the national country music charts. Kosser offers an in-depth, insider's view of Nashville during its ascendancy in his book “How Nashville Became Music City, U.S.A.: Fifty Years of Music Row”.

Alan Stoker is the son of Gordon Stoker, of the Jordanaires quartet. He’s a Grammy-winning audio engineer, a musician, vocalist, and a music historian. As a musician/vocalist, he’s backed up beach music legend Clifford Curry and Sam Moore of the Stax Records duo Sam and Dave. He’s also recorded with prog-rock group McKendree Spring and E Street Band bassist Gary Tallent. He’s opened shows for Ray Charles and his orchestra, Mary Wilson of the Supremes, Rick Nelson and the Stone Canyon band, the Tams, Crystal Gayle, and others.

He’s the long-time legendary archivist for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, TN. He’s preserved some of the earliest recordings of the biggest names in music. Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash are just a few of the artists whose recordings Stoker has been involved with. His work is credited on close to one hundred commercially released products, including “Hank Williams Mother’s Best Flour Show”, “The Patsy Cline Collection”, “The Bristol Sessions: Historic Recordings from Bristol, Tennessee”, and the Grammy award–winning “Night Train to Nashville: Music City Rhythm & Blues 1945–1970”.

Stoker has appeared in numerous documentaries as a music historian. He’s a twenty-year member of the National Recording Preservation Board at the Library of Congress.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)

Pink Floyd are one of the most innovative, enduringly successful bands in history. Their influence is incalculable. 1973's ‘Dark Side of the Moon’, though far from the first concept album, established a new model for quasi-symphonic, long-form investigations into the human condition: a record of thoughtfully poignant lyrics and some of the most elegant, powerful, genre-defining rock music ever made.

Formed in 1967 Roger Waters, Rick Wright and Nick Mason, helmed by the tragically brilliant Syd Barrett, fused English pastoral whimsy with electrifying instrumental voyages through inner and outer space. Their gigs at underground clubs, such as UFO and Middle Earth, are the stuff of psychedelic legend. Between 1968 and 1971, Barrett replaced by David Gilmour, their sonic inquiries were never braver: some delivered instantly; others revealed their treasures slowly; all played crucially distinctive parts in rock's development.

During the 1970s, the music matured as the messages darkened. While Floyd continued to prove that emotional weight and cathartic release can be forged from deceptively modest arrangements, the band's live spectaculars reached a pitch of technical complexity and extravagance none has matched. With insightful analysis, objectivity and ironic wit, Richard Butterworth appraises afresh Pink Floyd's official recorded canon, from “Arnold Layne” to ‘The Endless River’.

Richard Butterworth's grown-up career began in advertising, first as a paste-up artist, later as a graphic designer. Settling on copywriting, for years he reaped the pleasures, pains and penury of freelancing. As a lifelong believer in the healing and redemptive power of music, however, he knew that humankind's highest art-form would eventually saddle up and ride him into the sunset. Today Richard lives in Cornwall, UK with his partner Sue, two golden retrievers, a tenor saxophone and a justifiably ancient laptop computer, on which he still writes about the music he loved before he was a grown-up.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)

Fifty years ago next month - January of 1973 - Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Peter Criss and Ace Frehley launched the band KISS. Author James Campion (Shout It Out Loud: The Story of Kiss's Destroyer and the Making of an American Icon") is on the podcast to talk about the band's rise to prominence thanks to endless determination by the original four members, an incredibly creative and just as hard-working manager (Bill Aucoin) and a genius producer (Bob Ezrin) to become the biggest band in the world by the end of the 1970s. Some say KISS is overrated, some say they're overrated. James has his opinion on that, what he says to those who say KISS doesn't write great songs and whether KISS should continue without Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons.

It’s another chapter in The Dialogue Series - A chill ‘n chat with authors, fellow podcasters, musicians, and more. Our guest is Great White guitarist and founding member Mark Kendall. 

Kendall is the founding member of the the Grammy nominated band whose sold over 10 million albums worldwide, has six Top 100 Billboard hits including the top ten single “Once Bitten, Twice Shy”, nine Top 200 Billboard albums, and two platinum albums. Kendall took some time out during Great White’s summer tour to talk about his days growing up in Huntington Beach, California, the artists and bands who influenced him, the formation of Great White, their rise to fame by the end of the 80s and the stories behind the biggest hits including “Rock Me”, “Save Your Love”, “Once Bitten Twice Shy”, “House Of Broken Love”, “Mista Bone”, and “Call It Rock & Roll”.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)

Ever since Pearl Jam first blasted onto the Seattle grunge scene three decades ago with their debut album, ‘Ten’, they’ve sold 85 million-plus albums, performed for hundreds of thousands of fans around the world, and have even been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In “Long Road: Pearl Jam and the Soundtrack Of A Generation”, music critic and journalist Steven Hyden celebrates the life, career, and music of this legendary group, widely considered to be one of the greatest American rock bands of all time. “Long Road” is structured like a mix tape, using 18 different Pearl Jam classics as starting points for telling a mix of personal and universal stories. Each chapter tells the tale of this great band — how they got to where they are, what drove them to greatness, and why it matters now.

Much like the generation it emerged from, Pearl Jam is a mass of contradictions. They were an enormously successful mainstream rock band who felt deeply uncomfortable with the pursuit of capitalistic spoils. They were progressive activists who spoke in favor of abortion rights and against the Ticketmaster monopoly, and yet they epitomized the sound of traditional, male-dominated rock ‘n’ roll. They were looked at as spokesmen for their generation, even though they ultimately projected profound confusion and alienation. They triumphed, and failed, in equal doses — the quintessential Gen-X tale.

Impressive as their stats, accolades, and longevity may be, Hyden also argues that Pearl Jam’s most definitive accomplishment lies in the impact their music had on Generation X as a whole. Pearl Jam’s music helped an entire generation of listeners connect with the glory of bygone rock mythology and made it relevant during a period in which tremendous American economic prosperity belied a darkness at the heart of American youth. More than just a chronicle of the band’s career, this book is also a story about Gen- X itself, who like Pearl Jam came from angsty, outspoken roots and then evolved into an establishment institution, without ever fully shaking off their uncertain, outsider past. For so many Gen-Xers growing up at the time, Pearl Jam’s music was a beacon that offered both solace and guidance. They taught an entire generation how to grow up without losing the purest and most essential parts of themselves.

Written with his celebrated blend of personal memoir, criticism, and journalism, Hyden explores Pearl Jam’s path from Ten to now. It's a chance for new fans and old fans alike to geek out over Pearl Jam minutia—the B-sides, the beloved deep cuts, the concert bootlegs—and explore the multitude of reasons why Pearl Jam’s music resonated with so many people. As Hyden explains, “Most songs pass through our lives and are swiftly forgotten. But Pearl Jam is forever.”

Steven Hyden is the author of “This Isn’t Happening”, “Twilight of the Gods”, “Your Favorite Band Is Killing Me”, and “Hard to Handle” with Steve Gorman. His writing has appeared in the New York Times Magazine, Washington Post, Billboard, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Grantland, The A.V. Club, Slate, and Salon. He is currently the cultural critic at UPROXX. He lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota with his wife and two children.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)

The spiritual journey of the Beatles is the story of an entire generation of visionaries in the sixties who transformed the world. The Beatles turned Western culture upside down and brought Indian philosophy to the West more effectively than any guru. "The Inner Light" illumines hidden meanings of the Beatles’ India-influenced lyrics and sounds, decoded by Susan Shumsky—a rare insider who spent two decades in the ashrams and six years on the personal staff of the Beatles’ mentor, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

This eye-opening book draws back the curtain on the Beatles’ experiments with psychedelics, meditation, chanting, and Indian music. Among many shocking revelations never before revealed, we discover who invented "raga rock" (not the Beatles), the real identity of rare Indian instruments and musicians on their tracks, which Beatle was the best meditator (not George), why the Beatles left India in a huff, John and George’s attempts to return, Maharishi’s accurate prediction, and who Sexy Sadie, Jojo, Bungalow Bill, Dear Prudence, Blackbird, My Sweet Lord, Hare Krishna, and the Fool on the Hill really were.

Half a century later, the Beatles have sold more records than any other recording artist. A new generation wants to relive the magic of the flower-power era and is now discovering the message of this iconic band and its four superstars. For people of all nations and ages, the Beatles’ mystique lives on. “The Inner Light” is Susan Shumsky’s gift to their legacy.

Susan Shumsky holds a Doctor of Divinity degree and has authored twenty books in English. She’s released thirty-six foreign editions, won forty-one book awards, and done 1,300 media appearances. A rare insider, she was on the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s personal staff for six years and lived in his ashrams for twenty years.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)

Michael Tau had spent years obsessed by the extremes of musical expression. “Extreme Music: Silence to Noise and Everything In Between” is the culmination of decades of research into the sounds (and silences) that comprise the outer limits and conceptual expressions that stretch the definition of music. Tau defines and categorizes these recorded sounds into sections that allow fans and newcomers to explore the fascinating world of musicians who defy convention. He explores a wide range of extremes including volume, speed, and vulgarity to packaging, recording methods, unplayable media, outdated technologies, and digital pioneers. He asks and answers the questions: Are all sounds music? Is silence music? Does a plate of rotting food once cataloged, packaged and sold by a distributor qualify as music?

“Extreme Music” includes over 100 interviews with makers and musicians as Tau uses his background in psychiatry to help readers understand what motivates people to create and listen to non-mainstream music. As a fan of multiple avant-garde musical genres, Tau uncovers the pleasures (and sometimes pain and frustration) found at the outré fringes of music.

“Extreme Music” is the ideal guide for curious seekers, die-hard fans, and cultural investigators.

Michael Tau was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. As a teenager, he was introduced to bizarre and adventurous music via the after-hours CBC radio program, Brave New Waves, which he recorded onto cassette to listen to the next day. In university, he attended noise shows in lofts in Montreal’s quasi-industrial districts, to the detriment of his hearing. He has since written for numerous underground music publications and has authored several music zines. When he isn’t listening to the Merzbow boxset, he works as a physician.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)

“Addicted to Noise” collects the best interviews, profiles, and essays Michael Goldberg has written during his forty-plus years as a journalist. From combative interviews with Frank Zappa and Tom Waits to essays on how Jack Kerouac influenced Bob Dylan and the lasting importance of San Francisco’s first punk rock club, Goldberg, as novelist Dana Spiotta wrote, “shows us how consequential music can be.”

Contained within the pages: interviews with Sleater-Kinney, Sonic Youth, Patti Smith, Lou Reed, Flipper, John Fogerty, Neil Young, and Rick James, along with profiles of Robbie Robertson, John Lee Hooker, James Brown, the Clash, Prince, Michael Jackson, the Flamin’ Groovies, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, X, Laurie Anderson, Stevie Wonder, George Clinton, Devo, San Francisco punks Crime, and more.

Plus short takes on Muddy Waters, Townes Van Zandt, Captain Beefheart, Professor Longhair, and others. As Greil Marcus writes in the Foreword, “You can feel the atmosphere: someone has walked into a room with a pencil in his hand—as the words go in perhaps the first song about a music critic, not counting Chuck Berry’s aside about the writers at the rhythm reviews—and suddenly people are relaxed . . . He isn’t after your secrets. He doesn’t want to ruin your career to make his. He doesn’t care what you think you need to hide. He actually is interested in why and how you make your music and what you think of it. So people open up, very quickly, and, very quickly, as a reader, you’re not reading something you’ve read before.”

Michael Goldberg is a journalist, novelist, and photographer. He’s been interviewing and photographing musicians since he was seventeen. While a junior at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley, California, he managed to interview the Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia. He was a senior writer and associate editor at Rolling Stone magazine for a decade. In 1994, he founded the first web music magazine, the award-winning Addicted To Noise, and was a senior vice president at the SonicNet music site, and subsequently at MTV Online. His books include “Wicked Game: The True Story of James Calvin Wilsey”, “Ture Love Scars”, “The Flowers Lied”, and “Untitled”.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)

Which Beach Boys’ song brings Paul McCartney to tears? What makes “Light My Fire” a rite-of-passage song for teens in every generation, according to Doors guitarist Robby Krieger? What is it about music that brings back so vividly the passion of our early loves, our deepest losses, our richest memories?

Acclaimed music journalist Steve Baltin examines twenty-nine iconic songs of modern music to ultimately answer: what transforms a song into an anthem? How did these songs become such a part of our culture? Featuring original interviews with superstar musicians like the Beach Boys, Shania Twain, and Earth Wind and Fire, this book offers a detailed celebration of songwriting, fan connections, memorable live performances, and more.
A must-have anthology for music fans, “Anthems We Love” showcases the most beloved and popular songs of all time, including Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline,” the Jackson 5’s “ABC,” Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way,” and TOTO’s “Africa.” More so, it centers the artists behind these songs—and the songs that formed the soundtracks of their lives—as they share stories, for the first time, about how writing an anthem has changed their lives, those of their fans, and our world.

Once a proud teenage music geek, Southern California-based author and journalist Steve Baltin has turned that passion into a career that can only be described as a rock and roll fantasy.

As a writer for Rolling Stone, L.A. Times, Chicago Tribune, Billboard, Playboy, and many more, as well as the host of the podcast “My Turning Point” and the Amazon Prime/Hulu streaming series “Riffing With”, Baltin has interviewed a who's who of music luminaries. Among his favorite interviews are Alanis Morissette, Slash, Stevie Wonder, Dave Grohl, ASAP Rocky, B. B. King, John Mellencamp, Aretha Franklin, Adele, and a list of artists in the thousands.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)

On a sweltering Sunday evening in August 1965, 56,000 people traveled by plane, car, bus, ferry, and subway train to pack New York’s Shea Stadium. They were there not for a ballgame, but a rock and roll concert—the audacious dream of promoter Sid Bernstein. No band had ever played a baseball stadium, and few believed it could be pulled off, but on that glorious night, The Beatles sold out Shea Stadium, shattering all existing box office and attendance records in show business history.

Against a backdrop of mounting political and cultural tumult, “Top of the Mountain” delivers the details and excitement of Shea and the spirited, curious new generation who would soon claim the decade for its own. Packed with hundreds of color photographs, it gives a one-of-a-kind account of this monumental event, gathering first-person interviews and quotes from dozens of those who experienced a piece of pop-culture history—celebrities, writers, agents, producers, photographers, opening act performers, security guards, radio personalities, cameramen, and fans of all kinds. Among them were young Caryn Johnson (Whoopi Goldberg), Mary Louise Streep (Meryl Streep), and Steven Lento (Steven Van Zandt); future Beatle wives Linda Eastman and Barbara Bach; established stars like Bobby Vinton and Ed Sullivan; and artists such as Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Felix Cavaliere and The Rascals, Marvin Gaye, and more. Together, they paint an unforgettable picture of a night like no other.

An award-winning author, leading Hollywood historian, and reformed stand-up comic, Laurie Jacobson has written and produced documentaries, television series, and specials such as “The 20th Anniversary of the Mary Tyler Moore Show” and “The Museum of Television and Radio’s Salute to Funny Women of Television”. Her other books include “Hollywood Heartbreak”, “Hollywood Haunted”, “Dishing Hollywood”, “Timmy’s in the Well—The Jon Provost Story”, and “TV Dinners”. She’s a frequent guest on radio and podcasts.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)

Lori Tucker-Sullivan is a first-time guest. She’s the author of the new book I Can't Remember If I Cried: Rock Widows on Life, Love, and Legacy. The stories of rock musicians who die young are the thing of lore and legend. Accidents, drug overdoses, plane crashes—all have taken the lives of male rock stars still in their primes. But what became of their widowed brides? How did they survive a loss so great? What is it like to have to share your grief with millions of strangers? And where are these widows today?

I Can’t Remember if I Cried is part music history, part memoir, based around interviews with rock widows conducted by Lori —who herself lost her husband in 2010. With each widow that Lori interviews, she learns lessons in love, forgiveness, coping, and moving on. The book is framed by the author’s own narrative to create a single thread that links the stories together to ultimately create a tale of how the author’s life is changed through her interactions with these amazing women. Among the women profiled in the book are:

• Judy Van Zant who, after losing husband Ronnie of Lynyrd Skynyrd, sued the re-formed band in order to protect her interests.
• Sandy Chapin, widow of Harry Chapin, who has worked tirelessly to uphold Harry’s significant legacy around activism and hunger prevention.
• Crystal Zevon, the ex-wife of Warren Zevon, who provides details of her abusive relationship with Warren and how she resolved her anger and grief.
• Jamie Weiland, widow of Stone Temple Pilots’ Scott Weiland, speaking openly of Scott’s mental health, which at times kept him housebound for days.
• Janna Leblanc, girlfriend of Stevie Ray Vaughan, who shares the details of her visits with Stevie in rehab.
• Gloria Jones, the girlfriend of T. Rex’s Marc Bolan who was driving the car which crashed and took Marc’s life.
• Anna Walter-Lax, girlfriend of Who drummer Keith Moon

Lori shares with us some of what these women shared with her for the book and how her life has been changed as a result of writing this book.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” by Crowander / “Last Train North” & “No Mercy” by TrackTribe

Few rock artists continue to gather more and more adulation with age. Sir Elton Hercules John is an exception who proves the rule. In “Elton John at 75”, veteran rock journalist Gillian Gaar presents a unique and beautifully produced celebration of the iconic and beloved rock star, examining Sir Elton through the lens of 75 career accomplishments and life events. Key studio albums are featured, of course, as are a curated selection of his earworm singles. But Gaar delves deeper to reveal the events that helped chart the course of Elton’s career:

- Key performances such as his breakthrough performance at LA’s Troubadour, and the historic Soviet Union and Dodger Stadium concerts
- Legendary collaborations with the likes of George Michael, Billy Joel, and Kate Bush
- His many film and television roles, including Tommy and The Muppet Show
- Tireless work on behalf of AIDS research
- Notable awards and honors, including knighthood
- And, of course, his collaboration with longtime cowriter Bernie Taupin

Beginning with his 1969 debut LP, Elton John is regarded as one of the most influential musicians and performers of the previous five decades. In examining 75 touchstones, Gaar provides a unique presentation of Elton’s career arc, from his first steps as a solo artist to the breakthrough album ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ to his flamboyant stage presence, and beyond.

Every page is illustrated with stunning concert and candid offstage photography, including gig posters, 7-inch picture sleeves, and more. This incredible package also includes a gatefold Elton John timeline, a previously unpublished gatefold artwork, an 8×10-inch glossy print, and a pullout poster. The result is a stunning tribute to one of the most admired stars in rock—in a milestone year.

Gillian G. Gaar has written for numerous publications, including Mojo, Rolling Stone, and Goldmine. Previous books include “She’s a Rebel: The History of Women in Rock & Roll”; “Entertain Us: The Rise of Nirvana”; “Return of the King: Elvis Presley’s Great Comeback”; “The Doors: The Complete Illustrated History”; and “Boss: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band—The Illustrated History”. She lives in Seattle.

She was formerly a music critic at the Vancouver Sun and Province newspapers, and at Monday magazine in Victoria, British Columbia.

Whether you want to take better photos in your everyday life or make a full-time income as a photographer, maybe even working in the music business shooting concerts and album covers, the five-part framework author David Molnar teaches in “Learning to See” will work for you:

See: have a vision for your shot and execute that vision
Shoot: become technically proficient with your camera
Edit: help re-create the emotion from the day of the shoot
Develop: identify your area of focus for photography
Earn: start getting paid for your art

It’s a proven process every photographer follows but few talk about. But if you use it, it will shave years off the learning curve Dave himself went through as an amateur photographer.

This book teaches readers to learn to see, because in the end, that’s what a photographer does: notice what other people often miss and understand how to capture those things in a masterful way.

David Molnar is a celebrity and advertising photographer, believer, and family man. His work has been seen on millions of Pepsi cans, in People magazine, on American Idol, and in the New York Times. His clients include Google, Pepsi, and Sony, among many others including the band Skillet (David shot the photo you see on the cover of the band’s 2009 album ‘Awake’). Feeling so blessed to be realizing his dreams, David is now focusing on being “Your Photography Mentor.” He is helping tens of thousands of photographers pursue their dreams by creating world-class photo education, inspiration, and resources.

Discover music that dared to be different, risked reputations and put careers in jeopardy — causing fascination and intrigue in some and rejection and scorn in others. This is what happens when people take tradition and rip it up.

“MusicQuake” tells the stories of 50 pivotal albums and performances that shook the world of modern music — chronicling the fascinating tales of their creation, reception, and legacy. Tracing enigmatic composers, risqué performers, and radical songwriters — this book introduces the history of 20th century music in a new light.

From George Gershwin and John Cage to Os Mutantes and Fela Kuti; from Patti Smith and The Slits to Public Enemy and Missy Elliott — by discussing each entry within the context of its creation, the book will give readers true insight into why each moment was so pivotal and tell the stories surrounding the most exciting music ever produced. Some were shocking, others confusing, beautiful, and surreal; some were scorned on release, others were chart toppers; and yet more inspired entire movements and generations of new musicians.

These cutting-edge works, which celebrate novelty, technology, and innovation, help define what music is today — acting as prime examples of how powerful songs can be.

This book is from the Culture Quake series, which looks into iconic moments of culture which truly created paradigm shifts in their respective fields. Also available are “ArtQuake”, “FilmQuake” and “FashionQuake”.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)

"This band has no past" was the first line of the farcical biography printed on the inner sleeve of Cheap Trick’s first album, but the band, of course, did have a past—a past that straddles two very different decades: from the tumult of the sixties to the anticlimax of the seventies, from the British Invasion to the record industry renaissance, with the band’s debut album arriving in 1977, the year vinyl sales peaked.

“This Band Has No Past: How Cheap Trick Became Cheap Trick”, featuring a foreword by Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament, tells the story of a bar band from the Midwest—the best and weirdest bar band in the Midwest— and how they doggedly pursued a most unlikely career in rock’n’roll. It traces every gnarly limb of the family tree of bands that culminated in Cheap Trick, then details how this unlikely foursome paid their dues—with interest—night after night, slogging it out everywhere from high schools to bars to bowling alleys to fans’ back yards, before signing to Epic Records and releasing two brilliant albums six months apart.

Drawing on more than eighty original interviews, “This Band Has No Past: How Cheap Trick Became Cheap Trick” is packed full of new insights and information that fans of the band will devour. How was the Cheap Trick logo created? How did the checkerboard pattern come to be associated with the band? When did Rick Nielsen start wearing a ballcap 24/7? Who caught their mom and dad rolling on the couch? What kind of beer did David Bowie drink? And when might characters like Chuck Berry, Frank Zappa, Don Johnson, Otis Redding, Eddie Munster, Kim Fowley, John Belushi, Jim Belushi, Elvis Presley, Leslie West, Groucho Marx, Robert F. Kennedy, Patti Smith, Andy Warhol, Lou Reed, The Coneheads, Tom Petty, Harvey Weinstein, Michael Mann, Linda Blair, Eddie Van Halen, Elvis Costello, Matt Dillon, and Pam Grier turn up? Read “This Band Has No Past” and find out and you may even get an answer to a few of those questions today with our guest Brian J. Kramp.

I also ask Brian a question that has nothing to do with Cheap Trick or rock and roll, but the paranormal. Here is what his bio says: "Brian J., short for Brian James, hails from Waukesha, where he was raised in two houses, one across the street from a bowling alley, the other haunted. The bowling alley was the Sunset Bowl, where Cheap Trick were ‘discovered’ by Jack Douglas. Douglas also happened to be the name of the ghost: a seven-year-old boy, one of the previous owner's nine children, who fell off the roof of a neighborhood building."

In the mid-nineties, Brian attended the University of Wisconsin in Madison, where it seemed like every other person he met had a great Cheap Trick story and was eager to tell it. The band were legendary in that town, icons already, and for Brian, an ardent rock fan and budding record collector, Cheap Trick pressed all the right buttons. Thirty years and thousands of records later, here we are: Brian is now the proud author of this, his first book, about his favorite band.

Brian has lived in Queens, New York, and Austin, Texas, but now resides near Madison with his wife and daughter. He has been a featured host on the long running podcasts Cheap Talk (a podcast devoted to Cheap Trick) with Ken Mills; and Rock and/or Roll, a part of the Pantheon Podcast Network.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)

‘In the beginning,’ Billy Joel entertained Long Island locals, with The Hassles and Attila, prior to forging a solo career in 1971. One year later, the singer-songwriter-pianist captivated college students when “Captain Jack” dominated the Philadelphia airwaves. ‘And so, it goes…’ ‘Cold Spring Harbor’ was rife with barrelhouse piano and tear-stained balladry but with ‘Turnstiles’ Joel realized his dream of forming a stellar band. The success of ‘The Stranger’ led to sold-out arenas and ‘52nd Street’ honored the heyday of American jazz, while ‘The Nylon Curtain’ highlighted socio-economic inequities and wartime brotherhood. 1993’s ‘River of Dreams’ fused reggae and world music. Then, in the early 2000’s, his celebration of classical works ushered in a sea change.

Unquestionably, Billy’s catalogue has thrived, despite constantly changing trends in the music industry. Over a fifty-plus year span, many of his relatable songs have become standards, covered by countless artists. The third best-selling solo artist in the U.S. has continued to attract multi-generational audiences across the planet, so if you’re ‘all in the mood for a melody,’ read on. As part of Sonicbond’s On Track series, “Billy Joel Every Album, Every Song” contains behind-the-scenes stories and an analysis of Joel’s extensive studio recordings, many of which became top 40 hits in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. The book also features a foreword by legendary Billy Joel drummer Liberty DeVitto.

Rock journalist Lisa Torem has written features, profiles and reviews for American and British outlets for over a decade, and has interviewed Ian Anderson, Colin Blunstone, Eric Burdon, Dave Brubeck, Dave Davies, Janis Ian, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Sarah McLachlan, Robin Trower, Suzanne Vega, Dweezil Zappa among others. She co-authored “Through the Eye of the Tiger” with Survivor’s Jim Peterik in 2014 and “All That Glitters” with vocalist Ava Cherry in early 2022.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)

When the use of Bill Haley’s “Rock Around the Clock” turned 1955’s ‘Blackboard Jungle’ into a teen sensation and a box-office smash, it proved the opening shot in a cinematic and cultural revolution. Starting with Elvis Presley and the teensploitation films of the ’50s and ’60s, in “Rock on Film” award-winning author and former Rolling Stone editor Fred Goodman takes readers on a wide-ranging journey through film and pop history. Along the way, he measures the transformative impact of the mid-’60s landmarks ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ and ‘Don’t Look Back’ and how they seeded an almost unbelievably broad genre of films made by increasingly ambitious musicians and filmmakers across the past seven decades.

From the carefree to the complex, the mindless to the mind-bending, rock films have staked out their own turf by simultaneously celebrating innocence and challenging artistic and social conventions. With an insightful round-up of fifty must-see rock films spanning crowd-pleasers, art-house favorites, underground gems, and undisputed classics, “Rock on Film” surveys the nearly seventy-year canon of a genre like no other.

A series of original interviews with Cameron Crowe, Jim Jarmusch, Penelope Spheeris, Taylor Hackford, and John Waters illuminates how rock has influenced the work of some of the most divergent and thoughtful directors in movie history.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)

Phil Collins was everywhere in the 1980s. He had more top forty singles in the US than any other artist: fourteen as a solo artist and eleven with Genesis, along with two number one solo albums, plus twenty-five solo or group hit singles and eight number one albums in the UK.

Collins also recorded with a diverse list of artists including Peter Gabriel, John Martyn, Frida, Robert Plant, Mike Oldfield, Marti Webb, Al Di Meola, Adam Ant, Eric Clapton, Phil Bailey, Band Aid, Marilyn Martin, Paul McCartney, Tina Turner, Chaka Khan and Tears for Fears - another thirty-five albums or singles, many of which were massive global hits.

He also found time to tour with Robert Plant and Eric Clapton in addition to his extensive concert duties with Genesis and as a solo artist. He also performed at Live Aid - at both concerts. That’s around six hundred live concerts in total between 1980 and 1989. There’s no doubt that the guy had a busy decade.

Amidst the overwhelming commercial success and ahead of any other career plan, Phil Collins was a musician. His ubiquity between 1980 and 1989 hides ten years of magnificent music, and this book examines Phil’s musical output through these ten tumultuous years.

Andrew Wild is a writer, music collector and film buff with many books to his name, including recent publications about Queen, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits and Crosby, Stills and Nash and two books on “Eric Clapton: Every Album, Every Song” and his most recent “Eric Clapton Sessions”. His comprehensive study of every song recorded and performed by the Beatles between 1957 and 1970 was published by Sonicbond in 2019.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)

Peter Shapiro is the best known and most influential concert promoter of his generation. He owned the legendary Wetlands in Tribeca and has gone on to even bigger ventures, including Brooklyn Bowl (NYC, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, and Nashville), the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, producing U2 3D, and promoting the Grateful Dead’s fiftieth-anniversary tour (“Fare Thee Well”) featuring the Core Four members Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzman along with Trey Anastasio of Phish. And there is so much more.

In “The Music Never Stops”, Shapiro with the help of author Dean Budnick, shares the inside story of how he became a power-house in the music industry—an island in an increasingly consolidated landscape of venues, ticketing, and touring—through the lens of fifty iconic concerts. Along the way, readers gain insight into what it was like to work with some of the most celebrated bands in modern music, including not just the Grateful Dead and U2, but also Bob Dylan, Phish, Dave Matthews Band, Al Green, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Jason Isbell, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, The Roots, Robert Plant, Leonard Cohen, and many more.

Featuring never-before-published back-stage anecdotes, insights, and photographs of the biggest bands in the business and the concerts that later became legendary, “The Music Never Stops” is a perfect guide for any-one who wants to understand the modern live music industry.

The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” & “Nasty” by Crowander (https://www.crowander.com)

Rock journalist Susan Masino is the author of "Famous Wisconsin Musicians" and "Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy: My Life and Times With AC/DC, Van Halen and Kiss", “AC/DC FAQ – All That’s Left to Know About the World’s True Rock ‘N’ Roll Band”, “The Story Of AC/DC – Let There Be Rock” among others. She published her own music newspaper "Rock Central" for six years and has written for WI Music News, a monthly music news column, since 1991. She created a radio show for 94.1 WJJO in Madison, WI, which she produced and hosted from 1997-2004.

I first interviewed Susan for the Van Halen News Desk back in October of 2020 shortly after the passing of Eddie Van Halen. This time Susan talks about her career, all of the bands and artists she met along the way. I also had something personal I wanted to share with Susan, who is also a psychic empath. My father Jim Senich passed on July 21st and it really hit me hard. I’m still recovering from it and will for a while. I had a great relationship with him. But there were a few interesting things that happened since his passing that I wanted to tell Susan about and see what she thought. Interestingly enough, I scheduled this interview before my Dad passed. It’s a story I not only wanted to share with Susan but you as well. The listeners have been so great with sending condolences on the Booked On Rock Facebook page. So I hope, if you have lost someone close, this story gives you the peace it has given me.
