The Beginning of The Beatles Sound: Exploring the Early Influences [Episode 264] 1:05:17

1:05:17

Best-selling and award-winning authors Robert Rodriguez and Jerry Hammack are on the podcast to talk about Ribbons Of Rust: The Beatles' Recording History In Context: Volume 1 - July 1954 Through January 1963 . The Beatles' story has been told many times, but often with little focus on their personal experiences during their era. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and producer George Martin were influenced by the sounds around them. Ribbons of Rust presents their journey by immersing readers in the music and times they lived in. The first volume, richly illustrated with period artifacts, takes you with The Beatles from their early inspirations to their initial compositions and covers. Rodriguez and Hammack explore how The Beatles developed their sound in Liverpool and Hamburg, drawing on American rock 'n' roll and deeper cultural traditions, ultimately securing a recording contract with EMI. Spanning July 1954 to January 1963, the book details the post-war British music scene and the influences that shaped The Beatles, bringing readers into the studio with them, from early Liverpool recordings to Hamburg sessions.

The Musical Maverick: Paul McCartney in the 90s [Episode 263] 58:11

We’re talking Paul McCartney in this episode. Specifically his music during the decade of the 90s. Author JR Moores has a new book out now titled Off The Ground: Paul McCartney in the 1990s . This was an era like no other for McCartney, perhaps even the most significant decade of his entire career after the 1960s. Following a shakier 1980s, the decade would see him reemerge with greater energy, momentum, and self-belief. JR Moores’s sympathetic but not uncritical new book explores McCartney’s ’90s, with its impressive studio and live albums, colossal tours, unexpected side-projects, imaginative collaborations, forays into classical composition, some new Beatles numbers, and a whole lot more besides. Moores reveals how McCartney’s reputation began to be perceived more generously by the public, and he argues that his output and activities in the ’90s would uncover more about the person behind them than in any other decade.

Rik Emmett of Triumph returns to the podcast. The singer/songwriter/guitarist behind the hit Triumph songs “Hold On”, “Lay It On The Line”, “Fight The Good Fight”, “Magic Power”, and “Somebody’s Out There” is about to release his second book. Ten Telecaster Tales: Liner Notes for a Guitar and Its Music. The followup to his memoir Lay It On The Line, Ten Telecaster Tales remakes the idea of the “concept album.” It is music that arrives inside a book. It’s also, arguably, the most comprehensive attempt at liner notes in the history of electric instrumental fingerstyle guitar albums. Emmett delves into the creative process — the roots, influences, philosophy, and spirituality involved in writing and recording and breaks down the ten tracks included on his brand new album titled Ten Telecaster Tales .

David Bowie's Journey From Pop Stardom to Artistic Reinvention: 1983-2016 [Episode 260] 1:30:01

1:30:01

Author Don Klees is on the podcast to talk about his new book David Bowie: 1983-2016 Every Album, Every Song. It's part of Sonicbond Publishing’s On Track series. In a career full of twists and turns, none was as sharp as the one David Bowie experienced after his 1983 album Let's Dance . The record gave Bowie the hit that he wanted but completely altered his artistic standing in the process. Instead of an innovator who pushed rock music forward, the singer found himself a global superstar with a mass audience whose tastes he didn't understand and who reciprocated this feeling as the 1980s unfolded. After immersing himself in the band project Tin Machine, Bowie spent the 1990s embracing reinvention and experimentation with mixed but often fascinating results, leading to a full-fledged renaissance early in the 21st century. From there, his story only got stranger; 2013's The Next Day was a triumphant comeback after years of self-imposed silence. Meanwhile, 2016's Blackstar stood among his most challenging albums and became the final release of his lifetime. One constant is that the records David Bowie released during this time were ultimately the result of his artistic vision, wherever it took him. This book considers all those releases on their own merits, away from the shadow of his 1970s landmarks. Even if Bowie himself didn't always appreciate the results, every album featured songs worthy of his reputation.

Laurie Kaye is the last-ever reporter to interview John Lennon before his assassination. In fact, she was with John and Yoko just hours before his death. She’s on the podcast to talk about that fateful day and her book Confessions of a Rock 'n' Roll Name-Dropper: My Life Leading up to John Lennon's Last Interview . Kaye is a writer and producer, and this book is her long-awaited memoir. In it, we read about Kaye's music-related early life wrapped around that day in December 1980 which Kaye spent with John Lennon and Yoko Ono at the legendary Dakota apartment building on Manhattan's Upper West Side. On December 8, 1980, while working for RKO Radio, Kaye, a then twenty-something rock journalist, co-conducted an interview with her longtime idol, John Lennon. It was to become Lennon's final interview on what tragically turned out to be his last day on the planet. That evening, John Lennon was gunned down by a man Kaye had encountered just hours before.
