HAIL! HAIL! ROCK ’N’ ROLL: THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO THE MUSIC, THE MYTHS AND THE MADNESS

Book ID/图书代码： 03540009B32980

English Summary/英文概要： HAIL! HAIL! ROCK’N’ROLL is the ultimate guide to what Spinal Tap called ’the majesty of rock, the mystery of roll’. Gloriously irreverent, it is also satisfyingly definitive, with a list of every Glastonbury line-up; a dictionary of obscure genres from Alt.country to Shoegazing; a brutally honest guide to the Beatles’ solo albums; the surprising wit and wisdom of Shaun Rider and Noel Gallagher; Bob Dylan’s collected thoughts on Christianity and Keith Richards’ less-collected thoughts on drugs; and a handy flow chart that shows you how to listen to all of Captain Beefheart’s albums without going insane. From essential stage equipment to strange collaborations (Lou Reed and Kiss, anyone?) to the long, tragic journey of the rock moustache, HAIL! HAIL! ROCK’N’ROLL is an endlessly fascinating miscellany from one of the best music writers around.

’Music’s equivalent of Schott’s Miscellany’---Mojo

"An ideal stocking-filler... a vivid and entertaining cornucopia of lists, miniature histories and Harris’s own obsessions."---Q

`For anyone needing guidance on living a righteous rock’n’roll life, there’s no end of wit and wisdom from the likes of Lemmy, Keith Richards, Bob Dylan and the Gallagher brothers, and compilers of pub quizzes should find plenty of potential here ... a nice alternative seasonal gift’---Irish Times

’There’s more quitessentially Harris stuff in here (who else would include an illustration of These Animal Men Hooligans?), but ultimately Hail! Hail! . . . drips with lashings of popular, everyday appeal. Neither scholarly tome nor single-flick fluff, it occupies that rare, must-read space in-between. Highly recommended.’---Classic Rock

’An engaging adventure into the myths, legends and most importantly, the truths of rock’n’roll stardom.’---Rock Sound

Harris may be making waves today as a ’serious’ critic for The Guardian and Newsnight Review, but he’s never lost the adolescent thrill evident in his earlier writing for NME or a range of glossy music monthlies. This compendium of facts and figures, both essential and superficial, delights at every turn.---Record Collector
