Have Mercy Baby: The Life Of Clyde McPhatter<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Steve Bergsman<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cClyde McPhatter<\/strong> (1932\u20131972) was the golden voice behind a musical revolution \u2014 a soaring tenor whose electrifying performances helped define the sound of early rock \u2019n\u2019 roll. From his breakthrough with The Dominoes<\/strong> to founding The Drifters<\/strong> and launching a solo career, McPhatter left an indelible mark on American music, becoming one of the few artists inducted twice into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame<\/strong>. Born into the gospel traditions of North Carolina, McPhatter brought spiritual intensity to the rhythm-and-blues stage. His vocals on Sixty Minute Man<\/em> and Have Mercy Baby<\/em>\u00a0helped transform doo-wop into a national sensation. At Atlantic Records<\/strong>, he not only led The Drifters<\/strong> to chart success with songs like Money Honey<\/em>, but also helped shape the label\u2019s rise as a cornerstone of American R&B. As a solo artist, McPhatter continued to break barriers with crossover hits like A Lover\u2019s Question<\/em> and Treasure of Love<\/em>. But behind the spotlight, he faced mounting pressures \u2014 from the isolating toll of fame to speculation about his personal life \u2014 all of which contributed to his struggles with depression and alcoholism. Drawing on exclusive interviews with family members and close associates, Have Mercy Baby<\/em> offers the most comprehensive portrait to date of a musical pioneer. More than a voice of his generation, McPhatter laid the groundwork for soul, rock, and R&B artists for decades to come. His influence still echoes, even as his life reminds us of the cost of being ahead of one\u2019s time.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prince\u2019s Minneapolis: A Biography Of Sound And Place<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Rashad Shabazz<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cWhen 19-year-old Prince<\/strong> took the stage to perform I Wanna Be Your Lover<\/em>\u00a0on American Bandstand<\/em>, those who watched couldn\u2019t reconcile how Prince\u2019s funky disco-pop sounds had hailed from a place like Minneapolis. But the Minneapolis sound \u2014 a pop-musical fusion of funk, R&B, rock, punk, and new wave \u2014 did not emerge from a vacuum. The place and space of Minneapolis shaped the musical ecosystem that made Prince<\/strong> famous. And in turn, a complex array of social forces shaped the city\u2019s soundscape. An expert on place, race, and culture, geographer Rashad Shabazz<\/strong> reveals the hidden history of the Minneapolis sound, Prince<\/strong>, and his beloved city. More than a biography, this is a biography of the city and the world of sound from which Prince<\/strong> emerged. Shabazz traces the history of the Minneapolis sound alongside the city\u2019s history, from colonial contact through periods of Indigenous removal, white settlement, mass migration, industrialization, music education, suburbanization, and systemic racism. This complex history, combined with the exceptional talent cultivated in Minneapolis\u2019s small Black communities, gave rise to a groundbreaking genre, the otherworldly legend that was Prince<\/strong>, and music that captivated the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

Punk Anarchism: An Anti-Politics Of Resistance<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Sean Parson<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cPunk anarchism is a radical critique of contemporary politics, offering an alternative framework rooted in anarchism, punk rock, dadaism, situationism and political nihilism. Arguing that traditional approaches to political change are ineffective in the face of the climate crisis and the failures of liberal institutions, the book advocates for rejecting the possibility of meaningful political change within the existing political system. Drawing on historical cultural movements like the Russian and Japanese nihilists of the 19th and early 20th centuries, Sean Parson calls for a politics of pure negation, centered on the destruction of the current social order, rather than its reform \u2014 advocating for a revolutionary politics that embraces resentment against the wealthy and rejects hierarchical power dynamics. Punk Anarchism asks: what if resistance were motivated by a sense of playfulness and enjoyment, rather than hope for a better future? Ultimately, Parson proposes an anti-theory of negation as a way to imagine political agency beyond traditional frameworks.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

Punk And Disorderly: Acting Out Gender And Class In First-Wave British Punk<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Karen Fournier<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cA discussion of the 1970s British punk scene, this book foregrounds the participation of women as performers and songwriters in early British punk, and examines how women in the scene crafted expressions of social alienation that were informed by the intersection of classism and sexism. Early British punk rock is often associated with male bands like The Sex Pistols<\/strong>, The Clash<\/strong>, The Damned<\/strong>, The Buzzcocks<\/strong>\u00a0or The Stranglers<\/strong>, whose songs capture and reflect a historical moment in Britain that was defined by unemployment, nationwide strikes, racial strife, and the growing sense of hopelessness within a seemingly deteriorating British Empire. While lesser-known, the work of female punk bands like Penetration<\/strong>, The Raincoats<\/strong>, Siouxsie And The Banshees<\/strong>, The Slits<\/strong>, and X-Ray Spex<\/strong> also engaged with these themes, but added a gendered perspective on what it meant to be \u201can underdog\u201d in Britain in the 1970s. Through a close reading of punk art, fashion, and music, this book examines how female contributors to the early British scene responded uniquely to the alienation expressed by their male peers, and demonstrates how social alienation was inflected by the intersection of classism and sexism in the work of those women who helped to shape the early British scene.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
