A GUARDIAN AND INDEPENDENT BEST MUSIC BOOK OF THE YEAR `At last an expert classicist gets to grips with Bob Dylan' Mary Beard `Thomas's elegant, charming book offers something for everyone - not just the super-fans' Independent When the Nobel Prize for Literature was awarded to Bob Dylan, the literary world was up in arms. How could the world's most prestigious book prize be awarded to a famously cantankerous singer-songwriter in his Seventies, who wouldn't even deign to make an acceptance speech? In Why Dylan Matters, Harvard Professor Richard F. Thomas answers that question with magisterial erudition. A world expert on Classical poetry, Thomas was initially ridiculed by his colleagues for teaching a course on Bob Dylan alongside his traditional seminars on Homer, Virgil and Ovid. Dylan's Nobel prize win brought him vindication. This witty, personal volume is a distillation of Thomas's famous course, and makes a compelling case for moving Dylan out of the rock n' roll Hall of Fame and into the pantheon of Classical poets. You'll never think about Bob Dylan in the same way again.

'I can't help that my music shows who I am in this moment, what I'm drawn to, what I'm wondering about. I don't want to help it. What you hear in the words, what you feel in those songs - that's what I was feeling when I wrote them. I want you to see me, just like I want to see you.' - Justin Timberlake In his first book, Justin Timberlake creates a characteristically dynamic experience, one that combines intimate reflections and observations on his life and work, with hundreds of candid photographs from his personal archives. He looks back on his childhood and his very early love of music, and reveals the inspiration behind many of his songs and albums. He explores his internal songwriting process, and his collaborations with other artists and directors. He also reflects on who he is, examining what makes him tick, speaking candidly about fatherhood, family, close relationships, struggles, and his search to find an inner calm and strength. This is the Prince of Pop as you've never seen him before.

Si el blues es la madre de casi todas las canciones que suenan por la radio, los Stones son, hoy por hoy el padre, de todos esos artistas; un grupo de música que lleva presente directa o indirectamente en la vida de medio mundo. Historia, discografía y sus referentes blues, son precisamente los tres pilares que reciben la carga de esta guía con el fin de transmitirla al terreno de la comprensión: una puerta de entrada a los Stones en agradecimiento al grupo que, sin pretenderlo, cambió por completo la música del siglo xx. Son sin duda un referente ineludible de la cultura popular. En su génesis, Mick adoptó el rol de cantante principal, y Keith su amigo en la sombra con quien había compartido parte de su infancia. Jagger y Richards, o lo que es lo mismo, el alma del grupo, nunca fueron realmente amigos, sino dos personas decididas a permanecer juntas en busca de un objetivo común: sentarse en el trono del R&B. A partir de ahí, con su música como punto de partida trataron de encontrar su propia voz.
