Review:I was expecting it to be songs by the Rolling Stones and was pleased to see it's actually from Rolling Stones Magazine so It 500 of the greatest hits by all kinds of artists. My grandson loved it. He loves all kinds of music so I was really glad it wasn't all one artistic group. Read more

Review:Mark Lewisohn has put together a phenomenal and very detailed Anthology of the Bealtes recorded music. The day to day "logs" of the recording sessions shows how the Beatles progressed through their career and how they eventually took much more control of the way thing were done in the studio. A great read for Beatle fanatics. Read more

Review:This book was fantastic. It was witty, educational, funny, thought provoking, etc. it was a great read and I respect the author even more than I did. This book energized me to accomplish my dreams and overcome any obstacles. Read more

Review:The 50th Law is a focused and personal supplement to Greene's earlier 48 Laws of Power. Although Greene has not had the experience of whispering advice into the ears of world leaders, he understands and writes very well about the realities of succeeding in the corporeal world. I consider Robert Greene a modern day Niccolo Machiavelli and these two works are modern versions of "The Prince". Read more

Review:I should preface this with a confession. I love Amanda Palmer! I was hoping for great things.

Whilst the book couldn't live up to my ridiculous expectations it was a great read. It details not only her music and life but also makes some important points about art, connection and self worth. I highly recommended it. Read more

Review:If you have ever seen Lindsey perform via Youtube or live in concert, this book provides a glimpse into her beginnings, her roots, and her passion. I have seen her live in concert three times in three cities and she never disappoints as a dancer, musician, or as an amazing human being full of drive, passion, and faith. A MUST READ! Read more

Review:After trying to teach myself ukulele with another book, I saw this one recommended on Amazon and bought it. It was very helpful, especially the first accompanying videos: it is much easier to learn chords and strums with a video rather than a book. It's true you'll learn 21 songs, but the first few will only use a single chord. (Not a knock on the book - just a heads-up.) The first chapter of the book also gives good advice about practicing, and would apply to just about any new endeavor.Read more

Review:Idiosyncratic, seemingly encyclopedic, this was a great way for me, an old white guy, to fill in the gaps in my knowledge of the evolution of the various genres and artists. Highly recommend also watching "Straight Outta Compton," for a lively reinforcement of the basics of West-East, etc. Read more

Review:Just loved this book. During the aftermath of Storm Sandy 2012 and weeks of no electricity. this book and a flashlight got me through much frustration. Ties the human experience to ancient artfacts. A keeper. Read more

Review:Not an easy reading book. As a musician, I did not expect it to be a psychology book. I expected it to be how the brain and music, like mathematics and music, support each other. The writer rambles on and on about the same thing over and over in each anecdotal story he writes about - very monotonous. Stopped reading after part 1 (chapter 6). Very disappointed in the book.
