I Sing You A True Song: The Ry Cooder Story<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Frank Schnelle<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cFor more than 60 years, Ry Cooder<\/strong> has pushed the boundaries of roots music while staying grounded in the soul of the slide guitar. Widely recognized as a modern master of bottleneck technique, Cooder forged a career defined by sonic curiosity, unerring taste, and a deep respect for musical tradition \u2014 blending blues, gospel, Tex-Mex, early jazz, rhythm & blues, and countless other forms into a language all his own. I Sing You A True Song<\/em> is the first comprehensive monograph to explore the full scope of Cooder\u2019s work \u2014 from his early years as a precocious slide prodigy and his celebrated run as a prolific studio musician (including his influential recordings with The Rolling Stones<\/strong>, Captain Beefheart<\/strong>\u00a0and Randy Newman<\/strong>), to his eclectic solo albums and iconic film scores. With journalistic clarity and scholarly precision, this 500-page study examines how Cooder\u2019s distinctive guitar tone has underscored stories of hardship, resistance, and beauty across decades of American and global music. His albums don\u2019t just revive overlooked songs; they reimagine tradition with elegance and political edge. From his breakout solo debut in 1970 to the lush storytelling of The Prodigal Son<\/em> in 2018, this book follows the consistent thread of craftsmanship and conviction that runs through Cooder\u2019s work. His collaborations with musicians from Cuba, India, Hawaii, Mali, and Mexico reveal not only his technical brilliance but also his deep musical empathy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beatles For Sale to Help!<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Bruce Spizer<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cFrom November 1964 through summer 1965, The Beatles<\/strong> issued two albums (Beatles For Sale<\/em> and Help!<\/em>), three singles (I Feel Fine<\/em>, Ticket To Ride<\/em> and Help!<\/em>) and a movie (Help!<\/em>) in Great Britain. In the U.S., Capitol Records<\/strong> reconfigured the two albums into three: Beatles \u201965, Beatles VI<\/em> and the Help! Original Motion Picture Soundtrack<\/em>. The label also released a two-record documentary album titled The Beatles\u2019 Story<\/em> and added the singles Eight Days A Week<\/em> and Yesterday<\/em>. The ninth book in Bruce Spizer<\/strong>\u2019s series, Beatles For Sale to Help!<\/em> covers these releases from the British, American and Canadian perspectives. The book contains highly detailed chapters on the EMI<\/strong> recording sessions for the albums and singles, and the album covers. And, like the other books in the Beatles Album Series<\/em>, the book contains chapters on the news, music and films of the era (plus a special chapter on The Beatles<\/strong> and James Bond<\/strong>) to place these records and the band\u2019s second film in their proper context. And, of course, fan recollections of seeing the film Help!<\/em> and listening to the great records issued during the time frame covered by the book. The recordings released during this creative period bridge the first phase of Beatlemania<\/strong> with the group\u2019s more mature sound that would be on full display with the LPs Rubber Soul<\/em> and Revolver<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n
