Excerpt: Led Zeppelin were an English rock band formed in 1968 and consisting of Jimmy Page (guitar), Robert Plant (vocals, harmonica), John Paul Jones (bass guitar, keyboards, mandolin), and John Bonham (drums). With their heavy, guitar-driven blues-rock sound, Led Zeppelin are regularly cited as one of the progenitors of heavy metal and hard rock music. However, the band's individualistic style drew from many sources and transcends any one genre. Led Zeppelin did not release songs from their albums as singles in the UK, as they preferred to develop the concept of "album-oriented rock". 30 years after disbanding following Bonham's death in 1980, the band continues to be held in high regard for their artistic achievements, commercial success, and broad influence. The band have sold over 200 million albums worldwide, includ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=17909 ... Read more

Excerpt:Bonnie Raitt item Bonnie Raitt chronology item : Bonnie Raitt (1971): Give It Up (1972) Bonnie Raitt is the self-titled debut album by Bonnie Raitt , released in 1971 (see 1971 in music). A straight-blues affair, it was recorded at an empty summer camp on Enchanted Island, about 30 miles west of Minneapolis on Lake Minnetonka . "We recorded live on four tracks because we wanted a more spontaneous and natural feeling in the music," Raitt wrote in the album's liner notes, "a feeling often sacrificed when the musicians know they can overdub their part on a separate track until it's perfect." Though album sales were modest, Bonnie Raitt was warmly received by rock critics. "Raitt is a folkie by history but not by aesthetic," wrote Robert Christgau in his Consumer Guide column. "She includes songs from Steve Stills , the Marvelettes , and a classic feminist blues singer named Sippie Wallace because she knows the world doesn't end with acoustic song-poems and Fred McDowell . An adult repertoire that rocks with a steady roll, and she's all of twenty-one years old." Track listing Personnel Production item Producer: Willie Murph... ... Read more

A Pleasure to Read
The pictures are great...but the stories told are more enjoyable to me. Great snippets of information. I only wish some of the stories went on longer. Get it!

The best blues book I've ever seen
Dick Waterman knew (and still knows) blues musicians. The real men and women who lived, ate, drank, sang and, in many cases, died the blues. He managed them, booked them, and photographed them. This book had me riveted from the moment I opened it. Priceless photographs are paired with the most amazing stories from a man who was RIGHT THERE in the 60's when most of the people shown and told about here were being rediscovered, after years of obscurity. No blues lover should be without this book. Buy it NOW, and I promise you will treasure it forever.

great gift idea
A totally unknown book to me, but the wife loved it as a Christmas gift.

I owe Dick Waterman a beer for this
As a blues enthusiast, I have always found myself looking for the inside stories, the newly discovered photographs or the alternative recordings of the players that literally changed my life 35 years ago when I was in high school. To find that Dick Waterman was a common link among so many of the greatest blues figures of the last century was a revelation. I knew of his relationship to Son House, and will forever speak his name with reverance for bringing him out of Rochester, NY to record again in the 60's. But all these other guys? Dick Waterman, thank you for putting more flesh on to the legends of so many of these guys, most of whom are now gone. I am grateful.

Windows on the Blues
Dick Waterman's photographs are a stunning chronicle of the art and music that are most important to me. Dick calls his photographs products of opportunity and access, but they are far more. I would submit that Dick's "Son House at the Liberty Bell" ranks with the top echelon of 20th century American photographs.

If you have a passing interest in blues or fine photography; you need this book. If you are a fan of the music or the art, you absolutely must have this book. ... Read more
