Anatomy of 55 More Songs: The Oral History of Top Hits That Changed Rock, Pop and Soul” by Marc Myers (now in paperback from Grove Press)
The new paperback actually added 3 more stories from the hardback released at this time last year! Learn of the personal heartbreak sin Fleetwood Mac that inspired their classic "Go Your Own Way"; about how MTV was responsible for European bands getting a shot in the American market in the early 1980s, like Dexy's Midnight Runners ; and how the Charlie Daniels Band made the fiddles sound so evil in ":The Devil went Down to Georgia". Did you know that Donovan's "Sunshine Superman" wasn't about LSD but about his love for the woman he eventually married? And that Tommy James & the Shondells' "Crystal Blue Persuasion" originated in a Bible verse given to Tommy by a fan who shared his Christian faith? All kinds of music, all kinds of stories, told in the own words of the composers and lyricists, artists and producers. Marc Myers spent 20 minutes with me in an all-net interview and I added a few stories from last year's to round out the 30 minute show.
