Members Reviews: Well worth the read I enjoyed the how to by Tommy Swindali. It provides good information and ideas. Music and Music Production does not have a set method or pattern but any tips and ideas can be a big asset in writing and producing music using today's technologies which are way advanced compared to 20 years ago. Well worth the read. Don't waste your money This "book" is useless if you want helpful information. The information in this book is simple, coomon sense, and able to be found from a google search. Don't waste your money, time won't be wasted if you do in fact buy it since it is only 27 pages. Five Stars Good read for starters! Great Nice intro to music production. Great info. Would recommend to anyone wanting information on music Thanks will use again . Seriously. That short? I am surprised amazon will allow "books" this short to even be considered for distribution on their site. It's getting harder to parse through legit titles and this type of stuff

The Colonel Audiobook by Alanna Nash - introduction, Alanna Nash

Title: The Colonel Subtitle: The Extraordinary Story of Colonel Tom Parker and Elvis Presley Author: Alanna Nash - introduction, Alanna Nash Narrator: Gibson Frazier Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 12-12-17 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: In The Colonel, Alanna Nash, the author of Golden Girl: The Story of Jessica Savitch, explores in depth the amazing story of Colonel Tom Parker, the man behind the legend and the myth of Elvis Presley. The result is like the most riveting of real-life detective stories - one that will completely change your view of Presley's life, success, and death. While scores of books have been written about Elvis Presley, this is the first meticulously researched biography of Tom Parker written by someone who knew him personally. And for anyone truly interested in the performer many consider the greatest and most influential of the 20th century, it is impossible to understand how Elvis came to be such a phenomenon without examining the life and mind of Parker, the man who virtually controlled Elvis' every move. Alanna Nash has been covering the story of Elvis Presley and Colonel Tom Parker since the day of Presley's funeral in Memphis, Tennessee. She was the first journalist allowed to view Presley's body, a compelling and surprising sight. But the profile of Parker attending the funeral in a Hawaiian shirt and a baseball cap was even stranger and led her to investigate the man behind the myth. It has been known for 20 years that Thomas Andrew Parker was in fact born in Holland as Andreas Cornelis van Kuijk. But Nash has dug much deeper and, in a masterpiece of reporting, unearthed never-before-seen documents, including Parker's army records and psychiatric evaluations and the original police report of an unsolved murder case in Holland that lies at the heart of the Parker mystery. In the process of weighing the evidence, she answers the biggest riddle in the history of the music industry, as it becomes clear that every move Parker made in the handling of Elvis Presley - from why he never allowed Elvis to perform in Europe, to why he didn't halt Elvis' drug use, to why he put him in so many mediocre movies and even the Colonel's direction of Presley's army career - was designed to protect Parker's own secrets. Filled with startling new material, her book challenges even the most familiar precepts of the Presley saga - everything we presumed about Parker's handling of the world's most famous entertainer must now be reevaluated in the light of information Nash reveals about Parker. Elvis Presley, as one of Parker's unwitting victims, paid a major price for the Colonel's past and his overwhelming need to be more important than his client. As a result Presley was never allowed to reach his potential and died in drug-induced frustration over his stunted and mismanaged career. In this astonishing, impeccably written, and vastly entertaining book, Nash proves that the only figure in American popular culture as fascinating as Elvis Presley is Colonel Tom Parker, the man who shaped Elvis, who in turn helped shape us. Members Reviews: Alanna Nash's first Elvis audible is a must listen I have been a fan of Alanna Nash's books covering Elvis Presley for several years. I have read many Elvis novels, and her work is always expertly researched and honest yet gentle with this family that so many of us around the world know and love. This is the first of her novel's that has made it to the audible audiobook library in recent years, and it is AWESOME.

Everything's Bigger in Texas Audiobook by Mary Lou Sullivan

Title: Everything's Bigger in Texas Subtitle: The Life and Times of Kinky Friedman Author: Mary Lou Sullivan Narrator: David Chandler Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 12-09-17 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: Kinky Friedman has always maintained his Kinkster persona and hidden Richard Friedman from the public eye. Using one-liners, humor, and occasional rudeness, he follows the advice of his friend Bob Dylan to keep an aura of mystery. Author Mary Lou Sullivan spent many contentious days and nights at Kinky's Texas Hill Country ranch before he trusted her enough to open up and speak candidly. Best known as an irreverent cigar-chomping Jewish country-and-western singer, turned author, turned politician, Kinky has dined on monkey brains in the jungles of Borneo, supped with presidents, and vacationed with Bob Dylan in the tiny fishing village of Yelapa, Mexico. A satirist who loves pushing the envelope, he's been attacked onstage, received bomb threats, and put on the only show in Austin City Limits' history deemed too offensive to air. From the 1970s music scene in L.A. with Tom Waits and the Band, to political platforms advocating legalized marijuana, to friendships with John Belushi, Joseph Heller, Don Imus, Willie Nelson, Dwight Yoakam, and Billy Bob Thornton, this is the candid account based on dozens and years of interviews of the larger-than-life Texan who is still writing books and songs, recording albums, and performing for enthusiastic audiences throughout the world. Members Reviews: Five Stars Great Read!!! SO much awesome info on Kinky. a great read about a great man. I received this book in the mail on Tuesday and couldn't put it down. I have been a fan of kinky's music and books since a friend turned me on to one of his old albums after a night of drinking in the early 90's and have luckily been able to catch him live on almost every tour since 2001.i was blown away by the life he led and all the things he has done in his life. the book takes you from his childhood in Texas to present day. the book was so good, in my opinion, that I will be buy more copies during the holidays as gifts. if you are a fan of kinky's music buy this book, if your a fan of his books get this one about his life, hell, if you just heard his name once get this book, you wont regret it. A fun and fluoroscopic look at what made Kinky Friedman, well, the Kinkster. A fun and fluoroscopic look at what made Kinky Friedman, well, the Kinkster. It has it all. Monkey brains (on the menu in Borneo). Bob Dylan and Kinky's Mexican vacation. Willie Nelson's suicide prevention tips. And, loads of other Kinkster tales and quotes. Homegrown Texas Legend If you don't know the Kinkster, this book is the place to meet him. Life in full. Jewish Star of Texas chasing Mexican mouthwash with a few old friends by his side.

Zen Guitar Audiobook by Philip Toshio Sudo

Title: Zen Guitar Author: Philip Toshio Sudo Narrator: Fred Sanders Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 12-05-17 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: Unleash the song of your soul with Zen Guitar, a contemplative handbook that draws on ancient Eastern wisdom and applies it to music and performance. Each of us carries a song inside us, the song that makes us human. Zen Guitar provides the key to unlocking this song - a series of life lessons presented through the metaphor of music. Philip Sudo offers his own experiences with music to enable us to rediscover the harmony in each of our lives and open ourselves to Zen awareness uniquely suited to the Western mind. Through 58 lessons that provide focus and a guide, the listener is led through to Zen awareness. This harmony is further illuminated through quotes from sources ranging from Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix to Miles Davis. From those who have never strummed a guitar to the more experienced, Zen Guitar shows how the path of music offers fulfillment in all aspects of life - a winning idea and an instant classic. Members Reviews: Excellently Simple and Refreshing I've been playing advanced level guitar now for 20 years and I highly recommend this book to anyone who plays, or even is thinking about learning to play the guitar. Zen Guitar is one of the most important and enjoyable books out there covering playing an instrument. The concept of zen is familiar to many, and this book is certainly laden with familiar concepts, but it manages to relate those concepts incredibly well to the art of learning, practicing, and playing an instrument (not necessarily guitar; this book applies to any instrument... it is not an exercise book), all the while reminding you that those very same concepts seamlessly overlap into everyday life, and stretch far beyond the scope of playing an instrument. Overall: This is a broad range of mental techniques that can change a person's perspective when applied to an instrument. That's what makes it different than the other books out there. There's really no technical knowledge, just spiritual and overall well being as the goal. I really can't say enough good things about this book. If you play any instrument at all... or hell, even if you don't... give it a shot.

Title: Uncommon People Subtitle: The Rise and Fall of The Rock Stars Author: David Hepworth Narrator: Matthew Lloyd Davies Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 11-21-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music Publisher's Summary: Recklessness, thy name is rock. The age of the rock star, like the age of the cowboy, has passed. Like the cowboy, the idea of the rock star lives on in our imaginations. What did we see in them? Swagger. Recklessness. Sexual charisma. Damn-the-torpedoes self-belief. A certain way of carrying themselves. Good hair. Interesting shoes. Talent we wished we had. What did we want of them? To be larger than life but also like us. To live out their songs. To stay young forever. No wonder many didn't stay the course. In Uncommon People, David Hepworth zeroes in on defining moments and turning points in the lives of 40 rock stars from 1955 to 1995, taking us on a journey to burst a hundred myths and create a hundred more. As this tribe of uniquely motivated nobodies went about turning themselves into the ultimate somebodies, they also shaped us, our real lives and our fantasies. Uncommon People isn't just their story. It's ours as well. Critic Reviews: "Although fans may chafe at the idea that the age of the rock star has passed, they will be delighted that award-winning British journalist Hepworth covers key, sizzling moments in the lives of 40 stars flourishing from 1955 to 1995." ( Library Journal) Members Reviews: Wonderful read Enjoyed this so much. Details of many many musicians lives and rise and fall. Recommend definitely.
