Man's Man
Brian Hinton hasn't set out to be a high-priced male prostitute based in L.A. but traveling far and wide to serve the desires and fetishes of rich and powerful men who can afford to pay $3,000 an hour for his attentions. Like many young, handsome men with acting talent that shines brightly on the small-town stage, Brian wants to break into movie stardom. But also like many of these young men, he finds that his greatest talent and charisma is in being at the beck and call of already-successful men who have unusual appetites and thick wallets. Unlike some of these other men, though, Brian embraces the possibilities and makes the most of the natural allure that he evokes in other man and, with gusto and without apologies or reservations, enters into a fascinating life of making the most of what he has in a reality-based arc in the spotlight that begins in naïve, overstretching ambition and ends with a satisfied sigh.
South by South West
Expert rock journalist Brian Hinton heralds the arrival of a new alternative sound--country partnered with pop--as bands like Counting Crows and Lambchop land on international Top Ten charts.
Bob Dylan Album File & Complete Discography
Bob Dylan's influence on popular music is incalculable. As a songwriter, he pioneered several different schools, from confessional to hallucinatory, stream-of-consciousness narratives. As a vocalist, he redefined the lead singer's role in popular music. As a musician, he sparked many genres of pop music, including electrified folk-rock and country-rock. Many of his songs have become popular standards, covered by many artists, and his best albums are undisputed classics. Bob Dylan: Album File and Complete Discography includes descriptions of Dylan's 43 officially released albums and collaborative efforts, including year of release, label, credits, track list, timings and comments on each track. This is a must for every devoted Dylan fan.
The Heart's Clockwork
The Heart’s Clockwork is an exciting collaboration between poet Brian Hinton and the painter Julian Bell, who in 1988 illustrated Virginia Woolf’s The Widow and the Parrot for the Hogarth Press, and who has designed the covers for three other Enitharmon titles. The poet and artist have previously collaborated on an edition of Emily Tennyson’s Farringford Journal (Isle of Wight County Press). The Island is central to this collection - its ravaged beauty, its rich, half-forgotten artistic heritage, the disintegration of its coastline. In The Heart’s Clockwork, this becomes a complex metaphor for contemporary society, an alchemical marriage between the land and the sea.
Celtic Crossroads
For more than 30 years Van Morrison has weathered the eccentricities of the music world, single-mindedly pursuing his art while barely paying lip service to notions such as image, chart profile, and record company hype. From a background rooted in Belfast bands, he rose to acclaim, first with R & B band Them, then as a solo star. Proving ever adept at tackling new styles with integrity, Morrison's varied career has seen him explore rock, jazz, soul, folk, and even classical elements, while never forgetting his Celtic roots. Profiling the artist, poet, and man, this book offers the definitive account of a most singular and talented musician.--From publisher description.

Silent Music
In Silent Music, Julian Wolfreys (noted academic with a passion for the three languages of words, music and the imagination) brings together a group of musicians and Annagreth, a young German 'blow-in', in the uncomfortable dreamscape of the Isle of Wight in the late 1970s.
The Sun Does Shine
**WINNER OF THE 2019 MOORE PRIZE ** **THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** ‘A riveting account of the multiple outrages of the criminal justice system of Alabama. A harrowing masterpiece’ Guardian ‘Hinton somehow navigates through his rage and despair to a state of forgiveness and grace’ Independent At age 29, Anthony Ray Hinton was wrongfully charged with robbery and murder, and sentenced to death by electrocution for crimes he didn’t commit. The only thing he had in common with the perpetrator was the colour of his skin. Anthony spent the next 28 years of his life on death row, watching fellow inmates march to their deaths, knowing he would follow soon. Hinton’s incredible story reveals the injustices and inherent racism of the American legal system, but it is also testament to the hope and humanity in us all. ‘You will be swept away in this unbelievable, dramatic true story’ Oprah Winfrey
