Esta biografia, escrita pelo autor best-seller e reconhecido jornalista musical Charles R. Cross, traz relatos inéditos sobre a vida e obra do maior guitarrista de todos os tempos. Muito já foi escrito sobre ele, contudo, Hendrix é muito mais conhecido pelo seu mito do que por sua verdadeira biografia, por sua infância e pelos bastidores da sua curta e incendiária carreira como músico, o que é corrigido neste livro de forma impecável.

Rita pode ter tido de tudo, menos uma “vidinha besta”. E os últimos anos foram, sim, desafiadores. Ao mesmo tempo que o mundo passava por uma pandemia, ela foi diagnosticada com câncer no pulmão. Em um texto franco, ora cru e chocante, ora cheio de ironias, ora sutil e amoroso, Rita Lee não poupa detalhes de seu tratamento. Fala também da rotina, dos avisos do Universo, de seres de luz e dos caminhos que a vida tomou.

After performing with Ronnie Hawkins as the Hawks (1957-1964), The Band (Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel, Robbie Robertson, and Levon Helm) eventually rose to fame in the sixties as backing musicians for Bob Dylan. This collaboration with Dylan presented the group with a chance to expand musically and strike out on their own. The Band's fusion of rock, country, soul, and blues music-all tinged with a southern flavor and musical adventurousness—created a unique soundscape.

Growing up on the whitewashed Central Coast in the 1980s and attending an elite school as a scholarship student from the wrong side of the tracks, Lebanese-Cypriot Simone Amelia Jordan felt like an outcast among her peers for years. Her lifeline was hip-hop, then in its golden age. From girlhood, Simone recognised the art form's pro-Black consciousness, and the rappers' resonant words inspired her to embrace her own identity and back herself.

Tom Petty is one of the greatest icons of rock and roll music. He is known for his classic hit songs, such as “Free Fallin’”, “I Won’t Back Down”, and “Learning to Fly”, just as much as for his cool demeanor. Who could ever forget the image of Petty on the Heartbreakers’ debut album in a leather jacket adorned with bullets and a larger-than-life sneer?

Through this audiobook, listeners will discover the fascinating history of the Chapman Stick, a unique instrument that combines elements of guitar, bass, keyboards, and drums. Kollwitz shares his experiences of learning the instrument as a protege of inventor Emmett Chapman, including the challenges he faced in the earliest days of The Stick.

Roy Orbison possessed a voice that commanded immediate attention. He may have appeared meek and mild-mannered on the surface, yet beneath this facade lay an inner world brimming with passion and fervor. Orbison’s style was innovative and avant-garde, almost as if he were an embodiment of alternative rock before the term even entered the lexicon. He represented the emotive, tender facet of rock and roll, a stark contrast to his contemporaries, who were often swathed in leather jackets and exuded the confidence of a typical rockstar.

Bach ist ein Zentralgestirn der Musikgeschichte. Manche verehren ihn gar als den "Lieben Gott der Musik". Aber auch der Schöpfer der Matthäus-Passion war ein Mensch wie jeder andere, und sein Leben verlief nicht immer harmonisch. Die neue Hörbiografie erzählt seine ganze Geschichte.

An androgynous gender-bending musician from the get-go, Cidny Bullens toured extensively with Sir Elton John and performed with Bob Dylan, undergoing a complete immersion in the drug-fueled excesses of 1970s rock 'n' roll. Despite getting sober, climbing the charts with the Grammy-nominated Survivor, as well as a Grammy nomination for his lead vocals in the soundtrack for the movie Grease, Bullens was unable to break out as a solo star in a world that allowed its artists to cross the gender line, but had much more narrow expectations about how women could behave and perform.

“It’s hard to believe I’m doing this,” DJ Semtex opens his book. “I never considered for one moment that I would be writing about an experience like this.” As an acclaimed DJ, producer and radio host, he spent years telling other people’s stories, now it’s time to tell his. As Serious as Cancer is an unflinching portrait of the man behind the decks and his unexpected face-off with the C-word.

What was Elvis like in those early Army Days? The question I get most is 'what was he like?' It's hard to give a blanket answer because I knew the 22-year-old version of what everyone else sees in the media and those tell all books. We were kids, clowning around having fun, playing football, chasing girls. I didn't know him in his turbulent years or have exposure to any prescription pill use or so-called mood swings. I only knew the young, very funny, unvarnished version of him. Hopefully the stories in this book shed more light on what he was really like.

In addition to offering different viewpoints of grunge's history, new stories and insight are discovered in these nearly forever-forgotten quotes, making I Love Grunge the perfect companion to Grunge Is Dead.

Nos últimos tempos eu tive um privilégio pra lá de especial: vi Rita escrever sua biografia. Era um momento que nem em meus sonhos mais loucos ousei experimentar. Como jornalista e curioso, sempre gostei de livros assim. História de gente interessante me move. E vi nascer, daquelas mãos de fada com sua estrela de sete pontas tatuada, a melhor bio que já li na vida. Sem exagero. No texto, Rita é de uma honestidade... Muitas vezes brutal. Que contrasta com sua doçura e com tanto amor e leveza.

La muy premiada biografía definitiva de Elvis Presley, en edición revisada y económica, en dos volúmenes. Pasará mucho tiempo antes de que otra biografía coseche tan encendidos elogios como los obtenidos por esta obra definitiva (el adjetivo no es, por una vez, hiperbólico) sobre la fulgurante ascensión y la apoteósica decadencia de un cantante ya instalado en la mitología popular contemporánea.

Quando ha partecipato alla sua prima missione umanitaria - nella baraccopoli di Baia Mare, al confine tra Romania e Ucraina - Pietro Morello era giovanissimo. Ed era partito con il bagaglio tipico di chi è alla prima esperienza: le certezze facili, "vado lì e li aiuto", che si hanno finché si rimane a casa, al sicuro. Lo scontro con la realtà è stato duro, ma questo non ha fatto altro che rafforzare la sua determinazione. È ancora un ragazzo, Pietro, eppure la sua vita è molto cambiata da allora.

In his time, the Austrian American composer Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951) was an international icon. His twelve-tone system was considered the future of music itself. Today, however, leading orchestras rarely play his works, and his name is met with apathy, if not antipathy. With this interpretative account, the acclaimed biographer of Toscanini finally restores Schoenberg to his rightful place in the canon, revealing him as one of the twentieth century's most influential composers and teachers.

La biografía definitiva de Gustavo Cerati, uno de los músicos argentinos de mayor trascendencia internacional, escrita por uno de los periodistas e historiadores que mejor lo conoció, y que pone en un mismo, exhaustivo tomo, hecho de infinidad de entrevistas y un enorme archivo personal, las distintas dimensiones del hombre y el artista, su recorrido vital, su fuerza creativa y su enorme legado.

Clementine illustrates transcendent moments of oneness in a venue crammed with people—and then steps off the stage into struggles of self-consciousness, competition, heartache, and loss. In this reflective book, Clementine shines light on how each drumbeat, each moment, offers lessons of awakening, no matter how gritty the path.
