Hallo Spaceboy
By 1987, David Bowie was at a creative, critical, and commercial low. His most recent album was dismissed by the music press, his latest tour written off as a disaster. Fifteen years after becoming the most colourfully controversial superstar in recent rock history, Bowie was seen as a spent force. Almost twenty years later, Bowie has re-established himself at the very peak of his profession in one of the most extraordinary comebacks in rock history. His 1995 release of the critically-astonishing 1:Outside album has been followed by equally groundbreaking efforts. He is a content family man, married to super-model Iman, and one of the richest musicians in the world. While most biographies on Bowie still focus on his early years, Hallo Spaceboy: The Rebirth of David Bowie is the first to chronicle the comeback in detail. Drawing upon exclusive interviews with fans, colleagues and associates, it is also the long-gestating follow-up to Dave Thompson’s Moonage Daydream (1987), widely hailed among the best David Bowie biographies.
Rise Up!
Music historian Craig Harris explores more than five hundred years of Indigenous history, religion, and cultural evolution in Rise Up! Indigenous Music in North America. More than powwow drums and wooden flutes, Indigenous music intersects with rock, blues, jazz, folk music, reggae, hip-hop, classical music, and more. Combining deep research with personal stories by nearly four dozen award-winning Indigenous musicians, Harris offers an eye-opening look at the growth of Indigenous music. Among a host of North America’s most vital Indigenous musicians, the biographical narratives include new and well-established figures such as Mildred Bailey, Louis W. Ballard, Cody Blackbird, Donna Coane (Spirit of Thunderheart), Theresa “Bear” Fox, Robbie Robertson, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Joanne Shenandoah, DJ Shub (Dan General), Maria Tallchief, John Trudell, and Fawn Wood.
A Brief History of Jazz Rock
Jazz rock flourished from 1968 to 1974, offering a distinctively cool and innovative hybrid sound that captivated a generation—and beyond. Superstar bands like Blood, Sweat and Tears and Chicago have earned their place in popular consciousness, but the movement included many other powerful, innovative groups such as Tower of Power and Malo. Author Mike Baron explores the history of this music fusion, its rise and fall in popularity. He offers highlights—and his own unique insights from a front-row seat in jazz rock—into what made the era so special. A Brief History of Jazz Rock is a sax-meets-Strat bible that dares to inspire a Renaissance—to cultivate a new generation of musicians who might mix brass with bass, and help return forgotten bands like If and Dreams to their place on the main stage.

Arch Angels a.k.a Blood of Angels

He's one of the best." —Michael Connelly, Author of Chasing the Dime Young boys are being kidnapped in Chicago and turning up dead . . . strangled to death. Shockingly, the same thing is happening in St. Louis, but there the victims are young girls. Is it one killer seeking different victims in different cities, or could it be two killers at work with frighteningly similar methods? That's what Joe Keough and his partner, Harriet Conners, have to find out. Keough has been sent from Washington, D. C., as part of the federal Serial Killer Task Force to stop these murders and find the killer—or killers—before any more children are lost, or bodies found. It's been a while since he's been back in his hometown of St. Louis, but he's going to have to hit the ground running in this deadly race against time and at least one mad strangler. "A fine crime novel." —Booklist "Plenty of tension." —Publishers Weekly "A riveting, increasingly suspenseful plot. Recommended!" —Library Journal "Randisi is a masterful writer." —James W. Hall, Author of Blackwater Sound
