Was: Ian Hunter in the New Yardbirds, now, good Rock history books - NZC

[Constance <vanbeekmusic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, Nech,

As far as good Rock history books, do you mean overviews of Rock, or 
certain genres, or musician/group bios?

Right off the top of my head, I highly recommend:

Mystery Train - Greil Marcus
Last Train to Memphis, the Rise of Elvis Presley - Peter Guralnik
A Saucerful of Secrets, the  Pink Floyd Odyssey - Nicholas Shaffner
Stoned - Andrew Loog Oldham **
Room Full of Mirrors: A Biography of Jimi Hendrix - Charles Cross **
Free: Heavy Load - David Clayton ***
All the Young Dudes, the Biography - Campbell Devine ** 
<http://www.amazon.com/Room-Full-Mirrors-Biography-Hendrix/dp/B000FVHJBC/sr=8-1/qid=1164033883/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-0014516-1146544?ie=UTF8&s=books>
Moonage Daydream - Mick Rock, David Bowie **

(**highly highly recommended)

Also, Rock 'n Roll London - Max Wooldridge (thanks, Debra, for 
recommending this book to me!)

Hope this helps, and support your local library!

Keep groovin' (and readin')

Constance
