WHITE LIGHT/WHITE HEAT<br />
The Velvet Underground Day by Day<br />
Jawbone Press (Berkeley, CA, <strong>2009</strong>)<br />
By turns fiercely confrontational, literate, primitive<br />
and sweetly melodic, “The Velvet Underground”<br />
remain one of the most influential bands in the history<br />
of rock. The ultimate cult band and the ultimate art<br />
rock experience, the “VU’s” music and style have<br />
served as a blueprint for everyone from David Bowie<br />
to “The Jesus and Mary Chain.” Yet for all their<br />
enduring importance, they were unsuccessful in their<br />
day, selling minute numbers of records, with their<br />
monochrome look and photo-realist lyrics at odds<br />
with the garish colors and peace fantasies of the hippy<br />
era. It was only when David Bowie started to<br />
champion the band in the early 70s, after they had<br />
split up, that the “VU’s” reputation started to spread.<br />
In “White Light/White Heat,” noted rock writer and<br />
historian Richie Unterberger analyses the band’s<br />
career and influence in detail, drawing on many new<br />
interviews with band members and associates,<br />
previously undiscovered archive sources and a vast<br />
knowledge of the music of the times. The result is a<br />
comprehensive, articulate, immensely detailed history<br />
- the most thorough work on the band yet published.<br />

HOW THE BEATLES DESTROYED<br />
ROCK AND ROLL<br />
An Alternative History of American<br />
Popular Music<br />
Oxford University Press (Cary, NC, <strong>2009</strong>)<br />
First Edition. As its blasphemous title suggests, “How<br />
the Beatles Destroyed Rock ‘n Roll” rejects the<br />
conventional pieties of mainstream jazz and rock<br />
history. Rather than concentrating on those<br />
traditionally favored styles, the book traces the<br />
evolution of popular music through developing<br />
tastes, trends and technologies - including the role of<br />
records, radio, jukeboxes and television - to give a<br />
fuller, more balanced account of the broad variety of<br />
music that captivated listeners over the course of the<br />
twentieth century. Paper, 336 p.<br />

Young, John Bell<br />
LISZT: A LISTENER’S GUIDE<br />
Amadeus Press (<strong>New</strong> York, NY, <strong>2009</strong>)<br />
Composer, bon vivant, pianist, teacher, superstar<br />
showman, raconteur, writer, entrepreneur, ladies’<br />
man, philanthropist, and priest, Franz Liszt is widely<br />
viewed today not only as a great composer, but also as<br />
the greatest pianist of the 19th century. Yet his<br />
enormous body of piano music, by turns poetic,<br />
glittering, acrobatic, prophetic, profound, and<br />
haunting, failed to command the acclaim it deserved<br />
in his lifetime. In “Liszt,” John Bell Young takes a close<br />
look at this opulent music, illuminating its many<br />
facets and challenges from a pianist’s engaged<br />
perspective. Paperback, 152 p. with CD.<br />
