Download or read book Lightning In a Bottle: A Book Series On the Most Important Rock Albums In Music History Album #53 Joni Mitchell the Hissing of Summer Lawns written by Charlie Freak and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hissing of Summer Lawns was a landmark album for Joni Mitchell as it followed up her biggest selling album (& one of the best ever released), Court & Spark. Mitchell could have chosen to play it safe & release Court & Spark part 2, but she didn't. She challenged her fan base with her growing appreciation of complex rhythms, Jazzy chords & a style of musical progression that reflected rhetorical questions. Her lyrics were no longer easy to decode personal confessions but convoluted essays that observed the human condition. Mitchell began to write about characters that portrayed the most controversial aspects of our controlled society, demonstrating that when we allow others to think for us, we are victims in life; whereas, when we take control of our thoughts we begin to experience true freedom, often for the first time. All of the questions that Mitchell asked on Hissing led her to the brilliant conclusion, Shadows & Light, that all life is DUALITY, "this & that" & not "this or that"! An incredible book!

Book excerpt: Most Rock critics & historians have somehow labelled Dan Fogelberg as a Soft-Rock specialist & a crafter of fine melodies & Love Ballads. However, this is so far from the truth! His music ROCKS & defines him as one of the most brilliant songwriters, guitarists & producers in the history of Rock & Roll. Fogelberg's discography ranks amongst the very best ever assembled, at the same level as say, Steely Dan, Joni Mitchell & Stevie Wonder. However, with his albums Phoenix & The Innocent Age, Fogelberg created two absolute masterpieces that represent pure genius! On the Phoenix album, Fogelberg conceived an eternal song cycle crafted around the ancient Sanskrit word, Samsara, the true Cycle of Life (Birth, Life, Death & Re-birth). Thus, the title track, Phoenix, became the physical representation of this eternal journey through our Life Cycle. On the album, Fogelberg wove these important lyrics to his brilliant music seamlessly, as each was an extension of the other! Every fan of his music will cherish this book!

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 Synopsis Lightning In a Bottle: A Book Series On the Most Important Rock Albums In Music History Album #83 the Guess Who Share the Land by : Charlie Freak
Download or read book Lightning In a Bottle: A Book Series On the Most Important Rock Albums In Music History Album #83 the Guess Who Share the Land written by Charlie Freak and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For far too long the Guess Who have been "written off", especially in America, as nothing more than a prolific singles band, but it does not come near to telling the whole truth. Two of their outstanding albums have found their way into this Book Series, including American Woman & this stunning achievement, Share the Land. Every single song is of the finest quality, with many becoming Rock Classics. The music ranges from straight-ahead Rock & Roll, to the Blues, Jazz, R&B and even Country, plus the lyrics were written in the aftermath of the Massacre at Kent State University. Here, Burton Cummings was at his very best laying out most of the ways in which the Status Quo has us trapped into living our lives for the benefit of society and not ourselves...all the while looking up towards God and wondering why? This book digs deep into both the music & lyrics and helps the reader to understand why this brilliant collection of songs is so very important for humanity, especially today in this upside down world!
Book Synopsis Lightning In a Bottle: A Book Series On the Most Important Rock Albums In Music History Album #17 Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention We're Only In It for the Money by : Charlie Freak
Download or read book Lightning In a Bottle: A Book Series On the Most Important Rock Albums In Music History Album #17 Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention We're Only In It for the Money written by Charlie Freak and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book #17 in the series, Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention, We're Only in for the Money. Our reality has become dominated by Corporations that spread Lies & Mediocrity, while destroying excellence in music. Frank Zappa created a MASTERPIECE that was the antithesis of what music has become today. Zappa laid society bare with a wildly funny, entertaining, thought-provoking & subversive album that screamed TRUTH! With Corporations in complete control of our governments & the CIA unchecked by any authority, other than its own, the world that Frank Zappa wrote about on this album in 1968 could easily be mistaken for today. This book examines what was at the very heart of Zappa's message on We're Only in it for the Money & proceeds to tie it together with what is happening across the Earth today. The same small group that was running the United States in 1968, that hijacked the rebellion of America's youth by replacing the Freaks with LSD-laced Phoney Hippies out of San Francisco, are STILL IN POWER TODAY!

Book excerpt: A lush exploration of Joni Mitchell's career and art.

Book Synopsis Analyzing Popular Music by : Allan F. Moore
Download or read book Analyzing Popular Music written by Allan F. Moore and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-05-22 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we know music? We perform it, we compose it, we sing it in the shower, we cook, sleep and dance to it. Eventually we think and write about it. This book represents the culmination of such shared processes. Each of these essays, written by leading writers on popular music, is analytical in some sense, but none of them treats analysis as an end in itself. The books presents a wide range of genres (rock, dance, TV soundtracks, country, pop, soul, easy listening, Turkish Arabesk) and deals with issues as broad as methodology, modernism, postmodernism, Marxism and communication. It aims to encourage listeners to think more seriously about the 'social' consequences of the music they spend time with and is the first collection of such essays to incorporate contextualisation in this way.

For those who want a fuller understanding of some of the great issues of our time, The Canon offers insights on stem cells, bird flu, evolution, and global warming. For students—or parents whose kids ask a lot of questions about how the world works—it brings to life such topics as how the earth was formed, or what electricity is. Also included are clear, fascinating explanations of how to think scientifically and grasp the tricky subject of probability. The Canon is a joyride through the major scientific disciplines that reignites our childhood delight and sense of wonder—and along the way, tells us what is actually happening when our ice cream melts or our coffee gets cold, what our liver cells do when we eat a caramel, why the horse is an example of evolution at work, and how we’re all really made of stardust.
