Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lightnin Charlie s sensational new book, OFF THE RECORD The Trials and Tribulations of a Travelin Troubadour, is a collection of side-splitting short stories and amazing anecdotes from his experiences as a professional touring musician, reformed saloon singer, and ultimately, is his unique and extraordinary testimony as a born-again Christian. OFF THE RECORD is LC s answer to the oft-asked question, What is it like to play music for a living? Filled with the kind of stories that Shakespeare couldn t make up, you ll laugh till you cry at these hysterical, historical, tall tales all true - that have led him from the smoky bars and honky-tonks to a dynamic music ministry. Lightnin Charlie, star of national TV, international and satellite radio, and a full-time entertainer for 25 years, has taken some curvy back roads on his way to Straight Street. His politically incorrect online blog, Lightnin Lowdown, became so popular that he compiled these memoirs into a riotously funny book. Here are some of the wild and crazy characters you ll meet in this one-of-a-kind autobiography: In Kissin Cousins, dig the Memphis blues club run by Jerry Lee Lewis vicious, inbred daughter (and 2nd cousin). This is a freak-filled fable of a family tree with only one branch! In Lightnin & The Snake Lady, you ll meet the elderly, alcoholic, ex-Burlesque stripper, Snake Lady, and witness her frightening fall from grace (and the stage). In The Fox and the Hound, learn more than you d ever want to know about LC s meeting with Ernest Hemingway s transvestite son. But there s more: In Stranger Than Fiction The Story Of Me, read about LC s early influences, and his mythic, love-at-first-sight story of how he met his wife. Famous Last Words lists the last words and epitaphs of Presidents, gangsters, death row inmates, military leaders, and celebrities. Some knew they were dying, and others, humorously, had absolutely no clue. Throw in some political tirades, and rants about the media, the music business, and the state of the union, and you ve got a book that will keep you happily cracking up for years to come, regardless of whether you re a music fan or not. Not only is it Lightnin Charlie s life story it s a story of life itself, with all its crazy twists and turns - and is part of The Greatest Story Ever Told. An absolute must read for anyone with soul in their bowl. Hilarious! Not only does Lightnin Charlie possess a very wry sense of humor and loquacious literary style, but on every subject, he is both painfully honest and tenderly compassionate. Off The Record presents an extraordinary variety of daily encounters that tell moving tales of all too ordinary madness. Outrageous and sad, poignant, politically incorrect, and most of all laugh-out-loud funny. Harmonica Todd Levine Chicago Bluesman Lightnin Charlie is an artist - painting a picture full of emotion with words, through his gift of storytelling. His satires, rants and raves, and his reflections on life have become a sensation on his website and are now complete in Off The Record. What amazes me is that no matter what soapbox Charlie finds himself on, his character and love for God always shines through. He is my friend and brother, and I always cheerfully anticipate his next passionate tirade! You, the reader, are in for a real treat. Pastor Elbert Charpie Lightnin Charlie delivers again! Off The Record gives us an inside look at the origins of his lifelong quest for making music (what he calls good music for good people ), and provides marvelous insights into the crazy carnival of events that made him into the man he is today. Wouldn t it be great if MORE Americans were so observant, in-tune, well versed, and hip-to-the-tip as Lightnin Charlie? I think so. And I believe they will be - after reading this book!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a career that took him from the cotton fields of East Texas to the concert stage at Carnegie Hall and beyond, Lightnin’ Hopkins became one of America’s greatest bluesmen, renowned for songs whose topics effortlessly ranged from his African American roots to space exploration, the Vietnam War, and lesbianism, performed in a unique, eccentric, and spontaneous style of guitar playing that inspired a whole generation of rock guitarists. Hopkins’s music directly and indirectly influenced an amazing range of artists, including Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Tom Waits, and Bob Dylan, as well as bands such as the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and ZZ Top, with whom Hopkins performed. Mojo Hand follows Lightin’ Hopkins’s life and music from the acoustic country blues that he began performing in childhood, through the rise of 1950s rock ’n’ roll, which nearly derailed his career, to his reinvention and international success as a pioneer of electric folk blues from the 1960s to the 1980s. The authors draw on 130 vivid oral histories, as well as extensive archival and secondary sources, to provide the fullest account available of the development of Hopkins’s music; his idiosyncratic business practices, such as shunning professional bookers, managers, and publicists; and his durable and indelible influence on modern roots, blues, rock ’n’ roll, singer-songwriter, and folk music. Mojo Hand celebrates the spirit and style, intelligence and wit, and confounding musical mystique of a bluesman who shaped modern American music like no one else.

Book excerpt: Based on scores of interviews with the artist's relatives, friends, lovers, producers, accompanists, managers, and fans, this brilliant biography reveals a man of many layers and contradictions. Following the journey of a musician who left his family's poor cotton farm at age eight carrying only a guitar, the book chronicles his life on the open road playing blues music and doing odd jobs. It debunks the myths surrounding his meetings with Blind Lemon Jefferson and Texas Alexander, his time on a chain gang, his relationships with women, and his lifelong appetite for gambling and drinking. This volume also discusses his hard-to-read personality; whether playing for black audiences in Houston's Third Ward, for white crowds at the Matrix in San Francisco, or in the concert halls of Europe, Sam Hopkins was a musician who poured out his feelings in his songs and knew how to endear himself to his audience--yet it was hard to tell if he was truly sincere, and he appeared to trust no one. Finally, this book moves beyond exploring his personal life and details his entire musical career, from his first recording session in 1946--when he was dubbed Lightnin'--to his appearance on the national charts and his rediscovery by Mack McCormick and Sam Charters in 1959, when his popularity had begun to wane and a second career emerged, playing to white audiences rather than black ones. Overall, this narrative tells the story of an important blues musician who became immensely successful by singing with a searing emotive power about his country roots and the injustices that informed the civil rights era.

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dire Strait's album, Love Over Gold, saw songwriter, lead singer & guitarist Mark Knopfler take full control over not only his band but the finished product as well, as he added the title of Producer to his credits. The result? The #16 Most Important Album of all time! From beginning to end, Knopfler created another masterpiece, to follow up Dire Strait's previous gem, Making Movies. And while Knopfler continued his new style of massive soundscapes on "Gold", lyrically he directed his genius wit towards the controlling elements of society, scathing the status quo over five, unforgettable songs that represented perhaps the finest songwriting in the history of Rock music. Knopfler took the listener on a moving journey across society's landscape pointing out how the masses were being controlled & by whom. At times the album was intense & moving, suspenseful, painfully truthful, hysterically funny, caustic & severe & painstakingly tender & honest, it was unforgettable & taught us the value of Love Over Gold!

Book excerpt: Winner of the Whitbread Prize for Best First Novel "There was one copy going round our school like contraband. I read it in one sitting ... I'd never read a book about anyone remotely like me before."-- Zadie Smith "My name is Karim Amir, and I am an Englishman born and bred, almost..." The hero of Hanif Kureishi's debut novel is dreamy teenager Karim, desperate to escape suburban South London and experience the forbidden fruits which the 1970s seem to offer. When the unlikely opportunity of a life in the theatre announces itself, Karim starts to win the sort of attention he has been craving - albeit with some rude and raucous results. With the publication of Buddha of Suburbia, Hanif Kureishi landed into the literary landscape as a distinct new voice and a fearless taboo-breaking writer. The novel inspired a ground-breaking BBC series featuring a soundtrack by David Bowie.

Book excerpt: Saxophone virtuoso Charlie "Bird" Parker began playing professionally in his early teens, became a heroin addict at 16, changed the course of music, and then died when only 34 years old. His friend Robert Reisner observed, "Parker, in the brief span of his life, crowded more living into it than any other human being." Like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane, he was a transitional composer and improviser who ushered in a new era of jazz by pioneering bebop and influenced subsequent generations of musicians. Meticulously researched and written, Bird: The Life and Music of Charlie Parker tells the story of his life, music, and career. This new biography artfully weaves together firsthand accounts from those who knew him with new information about his life and career to create a compelling narrative portrait of a tragic genius. While other books about Parker have focused primarily on his music and recordings, this portrait reveals the troubled man behind the music, illustrating how his addictions and struggles with mental health affected his life and career. He was alternatively generous and miserly; a loving husband and father at home but an incorrigible philanderer on the road; and a chronic addict who lectured younger musicians about the dangers of drugs. Above all he was a musician, who overcame humiliation, disappointment, and a life-threatening car wreck to take wing as Bird, a brilliant improviser and composer. With in-depth research into previously overlooked sources and illustrated with several never-before-seen images, Bird: The Life and Music of Charlie Parker corrects much of the misinformation and myth about one of the most influential musicians of the twentieth century.
