By John Darnielle<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cFrom his early days recording on a boom box, through the evolution of The Mountain Goats<\/strong> from a solo project to a full band, to his continued influence on indie music, This Year<\/em> pairs the definitive texts of 365 John Darnielle<\/strong> songs with first-person commentaries on his life and music.

Here are the origins of This Year<\/em>, No Children<\/em>, The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton <\/em>and Up the Wolves<\/em>, as well as Darnielle\u2019s literary influences, including Flannery O\u2019Connor<\/strong>, Jorge Luis Borges<\/strong>\u00a0and Stephen King<\/strong>. This Year<\/em>, spanning decades, becomes the definitive literary record of one of the greatest songwriters and musical creative forces of all time.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Who: Won\u2019t Get Fooled Again<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Michael O\u2019Neill<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cMy Generation, Pinball Wizard<\/em> and Baba O\u2019Riley<\/em> are some of the most well-known tracks in rock history. The rock opera Tommy<\/em>, the genre-defining Live At Leeds<\/em>, and the classic Quadrophenia<\/em> are just some of The Who<\/strong>\u2018s albums. The band\u2019s original lineup had an amazing 15-year span, as they toured their way around the globe, performing live and recording until the death of drummer Keith Moon<\/strong> in 1978. Then John Entwistle<\/strong> died in 2002, but the remaining founding members Roger Daltrey<\/strong> and Pete Townshend<\/strong> continue to tour. Won\u2019t Get Fooled Again<\/em> takes you on the journey with the band as they conquered the world: From small London clubs to Madison Square Garden<\/strong>, from 7\u201d vinyl releases to multimillion-selling albums, all the way to recognition as global rock gods. The stories behind the music with an album-by-album analysis and accompanied by images from many of the most well-known contemporary rock photographers gives a unique insight into one of the most influential groups in the history of rock music.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

Custom Made Woman: A Life In Traditional Music<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Alice Gerrard<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cAlice Gerrard<\/strong>, an award-winning and storied folk and bluegrass musician for over 50 years, is one of the notable few women in a heavily male genre. Custom Made Woman<\/em> tells Gerrard\u2019s story through the music, the folk festivals, the kids, and the relationships \u2014 both personal and professional \u2014 that defined her storied life and career. Her collaborations with Appalachian singer Hazel Dickens<\/strong> during the 1960s and 1970s were pivotal recordings during the decades after the American folk music boom of the mid-century; the duo produced four albums that have recently been rereleased by Rounder Records<\/strong> and Smithsonian Folkways<\/strong>. In addition to Dickens, Gerrard has worked with folks like Tommy Jarrell<\/strong>, Enoch Rutherford<\/strong>, Otis Burris<\/strong>, Luther Davis<\/strong>\u00a0and Matokie Slaughter<\/strong>, and founded The Old-Time Herald<\/em>, based in Durham, N.C., serving as its editor-in-chief from 1987 until 2003.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
