Title: Love for Sale

Subtitle: Pop Music in America

Author: David Hajdu

Narrator: George Newbern

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 10 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-18-16

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music

Publisher's Summary:

From revered music critic David Hajdu comes a personal, idiosyncratic history of popular music.

David Hajdu begins Love for Sale, his personal history of recorded pop music, in an unexpected place - not with nostalgic reminiscences of the 45s of his youth, but with the sheet music era at the end of the 19th century. It was not so much the beginning of popular music - many songs were already popular - as it was the beginning of the popular music industry. And if he's going to understand what his 45s meant to him, this is the place to start: the rise of Tin Pan Alley, of minstrelsy, of million-copy sellers and one-hit wonders, and of cultural arbiters decrying the baseness, simplicity, and signs of the end of times in popular music.

From there, Hajdu takes us on more unexpected routes through the history of pop music - back to Alexander Graham Bell and the invention of records and to his grandmother's collection of Italian crooners on shellac records that young Hajdu liberated from her New Jersey basement. And neither Italians nor New Jersey are incidental to his story - not just because of Frank Sinatra but because Hajdu's mom, a waitress in a chrome-clad diner on Route 22, helped shape the fate of a budding young music critic by introducing him to one of the diner's most prominent patrons, the writer of the timeless song "I'm from New Jersey".

Love for Sale does ultimately spin through more familiar territory - the Cotton Club, the rise of radio, the battle of disco versus punk for the soul of New York as Hajdu made his chops as a critic, the rise of hip-hop, and the current atomization of the music landscape - but it is always with a unique, insightful, and eloquently presented point of view, as one would expect from one of our most celebrated music critics.

Members Reviews:

Original, and thought provoking

As a British indie rock fan, I know my trope to the blues that predates RnR.

Combining both personal and academic perspectives, this is a fresh read, with a number of new insights!

I appreciated the author's narrative from the sales of notes to the invention of vinyl, and on to his son, with each generation shocking their predecessors and boring their offspring.

His best work since "Lush Life"

Fantastically well-written and informative without being pedantic. His best work since "Lush Life", a book that sets a standard for jazz biography. Highly recommended!

By one of America's premier music journalists.

A beautiful take on the power of the pop song at any age. The personal and the universal meet.

If you are interested in music in the 1st half of th e1900s, this is an interesting book

I found the book's coverage of 1900 to the late 1950s fascinating however after that I thought after that the book became kind of incomplete and sketchy.

In tune with the tech and the times

This book is largely about why pop music and American culture turned out the way they did. A key is the interplay of technology and art. Sheet music and pianos in the home were perfectly matched. When three-minute 78s hit the scene, we got arias by Enrico Caruso. Singing at home couldn't compare with listening to the greatest tenor in the world. Hadju takes his tech/art insight up to the present.

Are you playing your first green-field music festival or outdoor show soon? Not quite sure how it all works on the other side of the 'Artists Only' sign? Don't worry; help is at hand. In this mini-guide, concert tour manager & live sound engineer Andy Reynolds gives you his tips on making the most of your first festival slot. Andy has toured with bands and singers for more than 25 years, and works on loads of open-air, green-field, type festivals, such as Glastonbury, Roskilde, Coachella, and Bonaroo each summer. He knows how bands can have a good show at a festival - and how they can mess up their chances by not being prepared for that all-important music festival slot. It is very, very important to your musical career that your festival appearances happen with no hitches, dramas or technical problems. Audiences go to music festivals to see and hear great bands. If they happen to catch you, and you are totally on fire, playing a great set and full of confidence, those people are likely to become fans. There is so much competition at each festival, and every band has that once chance to ignite the crowd, even if they are a well-known and successful act. None of the bands can afford to be ill-prepared or leave things to chance. But you need not worry about any of that - you will hit the stage looking like a pro after hearing this book!

I have not experienced a great many festivals but those I have have been very different experiences and given me varied levels of enjoyment and involvement and I have often wondered why.After reading Andy's book I have some insight as to why that was.He has offered his extensive knowledge of the music business to all performers and musicians in a very direct way as to how to make their time at a festival a great experience for themselves and their potential audience. Every band should read it.

The most insightful book available in it's genre. Reynolds knows the business inside out and is able to make it feel accessible to anyone who feels they are still outside the field. A must read for budding performers and anyone working the outdoor concert circuit.

Title: Cocoanut Grove Ambassadors, Volume 1

Author: Transco

Narrator: Gus Arnheim, Jimmie Grier, Phil Harris, Ted Fio Rito

Format: Original Recording

Length: 8 hrs and 56 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-14-16

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music

Publisher's Summary:

When those who celebrate the Golden Age of Hollywood reflect back on the halcyon days of the early 1930s, one particular nightspot comes immediately to mind: the Cocoanut Grove at Los Angeles' Ambassador Hotel. This lavishly appointed club, part of the massive 23-acre Ambassador resort that also included four restaurants, a bowling alley, a billiard room, and even a movie theater, was decorated in Moroccan style and featured full-size palm trees reportedly salvaged from Rudolph Valentino's The Sheik. In addition to the decor, which also offered a night sky filled with stars (thanks to about 1,000 small lightbulbs), an elevated stage, and both dining and dancing room for several hundred patrons, customers came for the smooth musical entertainment provided by a series of dance orchestras and their popular vocalists - many of whom would later go on to star careers in radio, recordings, and the film industry.

Title: The Beatles Play Shea

Author: James Woodall

Narrator: Christopher Price

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-29-16

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music

Publisher's Summary:

The Beatles' third tour of North America was nearly a year in the planning. By late 1964, manager Brian Epstein knew that they were not only the biggest act in his stable: they had become the biggest act on earth. America worshipped them. Somewhere different for the start of this tour, in New York - somewhere appropriately massive - had to be found.

It was: a baseball stadium in Flushing, Queens. On August 15, 1965, The Beatles played the concert of their lives there. This is that story. Here also are the huge strides in writing, musicianship, and recording the group made in the 12 months or so leading up to Shea Stadium. Some of this was played at the gig but little above the screams was heard. The Beatles at Shea 50 years ago remains, nonetheless, a watershed 1960s moment: the climax in the live career of the greatest quartet the world has known.

Members Reviews:

What a mess of a book

As a Beatles fan, I was honestly looking forward to reading this book. However, as a made my way through it, I became increasingly agitated. It seemed like an odd analysis of the various Beatles albums rather than a discussion about the supposed subject, Beatles playing at Shea Stadium. We only reach that towards the very end of this book. In fact, I don't recall seeing the set list of the concert, which would have been reasonable considering the space invested on discussing album songs earlier in the book.

I'm thoroughly disappointed.

The Power of the Kindle App on iPad Pro

It's an incredible convenience to sample books on Amazon's website and either purchase or view free via the Kindle app on my iPad Pro. This (and another book via Amazon Prime) have been my first experiences with tablet reading, but it turns out that the convenience and ability to read in very low ambient light conditions make this a terrific way to read.

Two Stars

Eh... kind of all over the pace.

Four Stars

Interesting story about the Beatles playing at Shea.

The Beatles Play Shea

This kindle single aims to look at the story behind the Beatles concert at Shea Stadium and the songs they sung there on the 15th August, 1965. I have to admit that I was surprised to see this title appear â not least because of Dave Schwensenâs exhaustive, full length, title, âThe Beatles at Shea Stadium,â which covered this concert in depth. However, I enjoyed James Woodallâs previous kindle single, âThe Story of the Beatles Last Song,â and so decided to give this a try.

This title begins with the US love affair with the Beatlemania and examines the importance of promoter Sid Bernstein; who came across the Beatles in British newspapers while studying at night school and contacted Brian Epstein about the possibility of booking them as early as February 1963. By 1965, Bernstein had the novel idea of presenting the band at the new sports arena in Queens â home of the New York Mets baseball team.

Having set the scene, this short title meanders backwards to look at the songs the band sung at that concert, to their meeting with Bob Dylan, through the Beatles earlier albums and their changing styles and influence, John and Georgeâs first experience of acid and ends on stage at Shea Stadium.

I have to say that this is a slightly disjointed read and I am not sure of the audience it is pitched at. Much of the work is personal to the author â his thoughts on certain songs and events.

Title: 1971 - Never a Dull Moment

Subtitle: Rock's Golden Year

Author: David Hepworth

Narrator: David Hepworth

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-14-16

Publisher: Random House Audiobooks

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music

Publisher's Summary:

The '60s ended a year late - on New Year's Eve 1970, when Paul McCartney initiated proceedings to wind up The Beatles. Music would never be the same again. The next day would see the dawning of a new era.

Nineteen seventy-one saw the release of more monumental albums than any year before or since and the establishment of a pantheon of stars to dominate the next 40 years - Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Marvin Gaye, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Rod Stewart, the solo Beatles and more.

January that year fired the gun on an unrepeatable surge of creativity, technological innovation, blissful ignorance, naked ambition and outrageous good fortune. By December rock had exploded into the mainstream. How did it happen?

This audiobook tells you how. It's the story of 1971, rock's golden year.

Members Reviews:

An Amazing Era...

Ill admit I approached this title with more than a bit of bias, as 1971 was big year for me personally. I was 16, and was facing my last term in a school I loved, before setting off into the wide world of working for a living (University not being an option for the likes of us as my old Mum said)

My first job was as a darkroom assistant on a local newspaper. This consisted mainly of spending the best part of my day in a dimly-lit darkroom filled with the odour of developer, stop-bath and fixative. My only company all day was the radio, which was permanently tuned to Radio 1, and which played the same 20 records (the dreaded BBC playlist) every 2 hours, all day long.

I suppose all 16yr-olds consider the music of their adolescence more profound than anyone elses, and I was certainly no different. But David Hepworths excellent book has actually got me believing I was right. So many landmark albums released, so many new artists discovered (most of whom are still with us today) and songs that were a benchmark of their time. We had Tapestry by Carole King, After The Goldrush by Neil Young, Madman Across the Water by Elton John, Whos Next by The Who, Every Picture Tells a Story by Rod Stewart, and many, many more. And all the while, the career of a Mr David Bowie gains momentum

This book has been a real joy to listen to, being both a reminder of the music itself but also a glimpse into the back stories of how the songs were made.

If I were to make one minor gripe it would be that author David Hepworth seems to have forgotten hes narrating an audiobook (in which hes talking to just one person) and instead he has a tendency to project as if hes addressing a conference room full of people, which often verges on shouting.

That aside, this is an excellent title and a must for any music lover, but especially those who were 16 in 1971.

Members Reviews:

This book has little to do with songwriting

I gave this book over 30 minutes to hopefully get in to some real songwriting tips and heard very little. The author is preoccupied with preaching about God and how God created music for us.

I'm a church going Christian, but bought this book to pick up a few new songwriting tips. Unfortunately, I don't feel like that's what I got. I only received a sermon and stories about how God has inspired the author to write.

Complete waste of my time and money...

A sermon rather than a book about songwriting.

Would you be willing to try another one of David Baronis performances?

No

Any additional comments?

Unfortunately this book focuses primarily on preaching religious doctrine and it's references to song rather than enlightening the reader on principles of songwriting. I feel the author should have made this clear in the synopsis as this purchase, for me, was a waste of money.

Title: Hear My Sad Story: The True Tales That Inspired "Stagolee", "John Henry", and Other Traditional American Folk Songs

Author: Richard Polenberg

Narrator: James Killavey

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-05-16

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 9 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music

Publisher's Summary:

In Hear My Sad Story, Richard Polenberg describes the historical events that led to the writing of many famous American folk songs that served as touchstones for generations of American musicians, lyricists, and folklorists.

Those events, which took place from the early 19th to the mid-20th centuries, often involved tragic occurrences: murders, sometimes resulting from love affairs gone wrong; desperate acts born out of poverty and unbearable working conditions; and calamities such as railroad crashes, shipwrecks, and natural disasters. Listening to these tales of sorrow, misfortune, and regret puts us in touch with a dark but terribly familiar side of American history. Polenberg returns us to the men and women who, in song, became legends.

The book is published by Cornell University Press.

Critic Reviews:

"An excellent book about folk songs and ballads that cover much of U.S. history in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries."(Ronald D. Cohen, Indiana University Northwest)

"This fascinating book by one of the very best twentieth-century American historians draws on Richard Polenberg's enduring and continuing interest in folk music. Polenberg's good, crisp, readable prose ensures that anyone who likes folk music will enjoy this musical window onto the patterns of the past." (Allan M. Winkler, Miami University of Ohio)

"By giving equal weight to historical events and their reinvention as musical myths, Richard Polenberg creates a rich and colorful tapestry of fact and fable. The result is a thoroughly enjoyable and frequently illuminating volume." (Elijah Wald, coauthor of The Mayor of MacDougal Street)

Members Reviews:

I really enjoyed this book

I really enjoyed this book. Fun to hear the stories behind the music I have played and taught to others.

For lovers of folk songs

My sister and I both love folk songs, and after reading a copy from the public library, I gave this to her for her birthday.

Fascinating!

This book is a combination of history, sociology, true crime, and, of course, music. I was fascinated by it all.

The author clearly did extensive research, not just regarding the history of the songs, but also the circumstances surrounding the events. With each song discussed, Polenberg places us right in the midst of these people's lives. We're part of the society in which they live. We feel the struggle to survive, the racism, the sorrow, and the pride. We see the truth behind the people immortalized in song, and how those songs evolved over time.

I wish this book had an accompanying soundtrack. While I knew many of the songs, there were some I'd never heard of, and it would be ideal to have them all available to listen to as we read. Polenberg does share snippets of each song's lyrics as we go along. None of the song lyrics are shared in their entirety, which is a bit of a disappointment but also understandable. Many of these sounds went through dozens, if not hundreds, of changes over time.

A foreknowledge of these folk songs is absolutely not required in order to enjoy this book.
