This strictly limited deluxe set of 'The Great New Zealand Songbook' includes a 100-page journal of handwritten lyrics, photos and memorabilia, contributed by the artists themselves -- the coolest Kiwi music coffee table book ever,
and the music that goes with it!
After attending the Split Enz Vector Arena concert in March 2008, Murray Thom (the creator behind this unique project), turned to his son and said that they had just heard the "The Great New Zealand Songbook". That was the birth of a project, which from the outset, encapsulated more than just the music.
The final result is this two CD set, featuring 42 of New Zealand's favourite recording artists - including Split Enz, Dave Dobbyn, Neil Finn, Supergroove, Bic Runga, Shihad, Dragon, Opshop, Evermore, Brooke Fraser, The Chills, Ladyhawke and many more, performing a selection of the best New Zealand music from the 'Last ...

In this "expertly researched, elegantly written, dispassionate yet thoughtful history" (Gary Giddins), award-winning author Ted Gioia gives us "the rare combination of a tome that is both deeply informative and enjoyable to read" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). From the field hollers of nineteenth-century plantations to Muddy Waters and B.B. King, Delta Blues delves into the uneasy mix of race and money at the point where traditional music became commercial and bluesmen found new audiences of thousands. Combining extensive fieldwork, archival research, interviews with living musicians, and first-person accounts with "his own calm, argument-closing incantations to draw a line through a century of Delta blues" (New York Times), this engrossing narrative is flavored with insightful and vivid musical descriptions that ensure "an understanding of not only the musicians, but the music itself" (Boston Sunday Globe). Rooted in the ...

LET IT BLEED takes you where no Rolling Stones book has before. Author and photographer Ethan Russell was one of only sixteen people--including the Rolling Stones -who made up the 1969 tour. He was with them in their hotel rooms, at rehearsals, and on stage. He tells the story of this monumental and historic tour firsthand, including recollections from band members, crew, security, and other sixties icons - like Abbie Hoffman and Little Richard - they met along the way. And he also includes amazing photos of the performers who toured with the Stones that year: the legendary Tina Turner and B. B. King. Through vivid quotes taken from his interviews with the band and crew, and through more than 220 revealing photographs, Russell takes you behind the scenes for an uncensored look inside the Rolling Stones' world at the end of the sixties. It was an idealistic time, with an overarching belief that music could bring us all together. But the ...

This is the first definitive biography of Stevie Wonder; it covers his incredible fifty-year career and sets it against the history of
Motown and the last half century of popular music, showing his influence in shaping music throughout his career and still today,
particularly in laying the groundwork for the evolution of hip-hop and rap. The 60s can be called his development era, from infectious
kid-soul-pop to ever-maturing themes guided by Motown's mainstream maestros.
Then, freed to make the music that drove his sensibilities, came his period of massive innovation and peak influence from the early
70s through the end of the decade, which saw innervision and his other masterpieces.
The next decade was a jumble of personal and musical confusion, uncertainty, and crass commercialism; and the mid-90s to now his renaissance toward a second coming with his 60th birthday in 2010.
His music spans a great deal of ...
