Queen: The Early Years
By Mark Hodkinson

Mark Hodkinson has written the only book you will need in order to see how the legendary British band Queen evolved from four individuals into one of the most popular bands in the history of rock music. While Queen had success in America, they are of much greater importance in other parts of the world. How many American bands can you think of where 70,000 people in a stadium can break into unison and sing many of the hits word for word? Okay, maybe the Village People, but in England, one of those bands would be Queen.

Hodkinson painstakingly stalks family members, former friends, and teachers to find information on the lives of the four men who would make up the band Queen. It is easy to see why the members were constantly at each others throats for the good of the band. They were all extremely bright individuals who for the most part could have had incredibly successful professional lives without Queen. Hodkinson does a wonderful job of showing us all the pieces it took to make this great band. The only problem is that books such as this are mainly of interest to those obsessed with the band being written about. Queen fanatics unite and by Mark Hodkinson’s book Queen: The Early Years, and for those of you who are not Queen fans, crawl back under the rocks you came from.

Blood And Glitter
By Mick Rock

This collection of photography by Mick Rock takes a look at the wonderful time period in music between the late 60’s and late 70’s. Rock takes us on a wonderful journey using photos from London’s Psychedelic era ( Syd Barrett, etc...), Glam (Bowie, Queen,...), and finally Punk. While we have colorful figures in today’s music, nothing seems to compare with the artists from the periods covered by Rock’s book. Mick Rock is similar to Charles Peterson, the famous photographer of Grunge, in the sense that he was there. He not only documented the events, but he was a part of the scene. There is a big difference between the person who is assigned the job of capturing a moment on camera and the work of the person who is part of the scene and happens to be documenting what is going on. If you want to see explosions of color leaping from the page and the blank stares of artists who have traveled one trip too far, please take a second to check out Blood and Glitter by Mick Rock.

Nirvana: Nevermind - Classic Rock Albums
By Jim Berkenstadt, Charles R. Cross

The Classic Rock Album book series is similar to the Classic Albums video series in that it gives the reader every possible bit of information on what went on during the creation of what is considered a classic recording. This information can start with where the band was in their career before the recording process began, the creation of the songs to be recorded, the people involved in the recording process other than the band and their careers, the recording methods and instruments used, and the introduction of the music to the general public and how it was received.

In the case of Nirvana’s Nevermind, Berkenstadt breaks down the guitar, bass, and drums just as Butch Vig who produced the cd described the recording of the instruments. Wanna know how they got such an incredible snare sound out of Dave Grohl? Read the book. Wanna know where the secret track came from and why they chose to use it? Read the book. Even though Cobain denied it, guess who was involved with the cd in order for it to have such an explosive sound? Read the book. What I am trying to say is that if you are a fanatic of the band Nirvana and want to know why things turned out on the first cd the way they did, you need to purchase this book. If you are a greatest hits kind of fan, skip it.

The Man Called Cash : The Life, Love and Faith of an American Legend
By Steve Turner

Let’s see. I’ve read The Man in Black by Johnny Cash, Cash by Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash: The Life of an American Icon by Stephen Miller, and now, The Man Called Cash by Steve Turner. My all time favorite of these biographies is The Man in Black for its cool 1970s feel. I feel that the most informative is probably Stephen Miller’s The Life of an American Icon. The only problem I have with Steve Turner’s new biography is that there is such an overabundance of information out there. For the most part, Johnny Cash’s life was something of an open book. With artists like Cash, you can only hope to find so much more information before the well is dry. I do think that

Turner’s book is a worthy read, but it does not offer the reader a much different view from the Miller book. If I was king of the world, I would have forced Miller and Turner to work together to write the end all biography on Cash. While there is no doubt that Turner had more access than most to the family of Cash and a few other notable people in the singer’s life, it is just a difficult task to tackle to write a biography on a person who openly shared details of his life on a regular basis. The only way to divulge more would be to take a Kitty Kelley expose angle and tell the ugly side to his life. Thank god, that will not happen due to Cash being considered an American Icon. Turner does share the thoughts of Rick Rubin in regards to Cash, and Rubin is just the person who needs to put pen to paper about his and Cash’s time together. The relationship that developed between Cash and Rubin is one that I would love to see described in a book.
