By Adele Bertei<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cIn 1975, a young queer singer from Cleveland meets Nan Goldin<\/strong> and joins her in New York\u2019s bombed-out downtown, where something unprecedented is brewing. At Max\u2019s Kansas City<\/strong> and CBGB<\/strong>, in derelict lofts and underground clubs, a generation of visionary women artists is rewriting the rules of creativity, sexuality, and power. Adele Bertei<\/strong> didn\u2019t just witness the No Wave explosion <\/strong>\u2014 she ignited it. As Acetone<\/strong> organist for The Contortions<\/strong> and Brian Eno<\/strong>\u2019s assistant, she was at the epicenter when punk collided with post-punk, when Lydia Lunch<\/strong> screamed her first songs, when Kathy Acker<\/strong> was penning her transgressive novels, when Kathryn Bigelow<\/strong> was making her first films. No New York<\/em> reveals the untold story of the boundary-pushing women who made No Wave<\/strong> possible: Goldin capturing flash-lit portraits of gender fluidity, Barbara Kruger<\/strong> deconstructing media, Kiki Smith<\/strong> exploring the body\u2019s mysteries, Lizzie Borden<\/strong> challenging cinema itself. While mainstream culture wallowed in sexism and homophobia, these artists created something fluid, fierce, and transgressive. Raw and gripping, No New York<\/em> takes readers deep into the artistic and sexual experimentation of an era when everyone read Jean Genet<\/strong>, quoted Antonin Artaud<\/strong>, and believed true expression mattered more than money or fame.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gary Stewart: I Am From The Honky Tonks<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Jimmy McDonough<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cIn the mid-\u201970s, Gary Stewart<\/strong>\u2019s crazed hits, including She\u2019s Actin\u2019 Single (I\u2019m Drinkin\u2019 Doubles)<\/em> and Drinkin\u2019 Thing<\/em>, rocketed him to the top of the charts, earning him the admiration of Bob Dylan<\/strong>, The Allman Brothers<\/strong>\u00a0and Tanya Tucker<\/strong>. Within a few years, he had flamed out and all but vanished from the music scene. Until Jimmy McDonough<\/strong> barged his way into the spooky Florida double-wide Stewart was hiding out in, beginning a nearly 40-year obsession with the musician. Gary Stewart: I Am From The Honky Tonks<\/em> \u2015 the ninth and final biography from McDonough, best-selling author of the Neil Young bio Shakey<\/em> and America\u2019s great chronicler of the weird, wild, and wondrous \u2015 is the outrageous tale of a true country outlaw. This is a story of sex, drugs, and honky-tonk, told in McDonough\u2019s inimitable, two-fisted style, the unique combination of oral history, vivid prose, and personal experience. It\u2019s an epic tale of a wild Kentucky family who surfed success and rear-ended disaster in drug-soaked, \u201970s Florida. At its core is the tempestuous, tragic love story of Stewart and his wife Mary Lou<\/strong> that will leave you haunted long after you turn the last page. This is the definitive telling of the life of the late, great honky-tonk legend, based on hundreds of hours of interviews with Gary, Mary Lou, family members, band members, producers, cohorts, dealers, and fellow stars such as Tanya Tucker<\/strong>, Willie Nelson<\/strong>, Dickey Betts<\/strong>, Dean Dillon<\/strong>\u00a0and Charley Pride<\/strong>. This intense and exhaustive 544-page book reveals the complete, untold, and torrid history of a man who lived life as if \u201cthe plane could crash tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

At 14 she landed her first record deal. At 15 her first album went platinum. At 16 she was starring in the hit sitcom Moesha<\/em> and became the first Black actress to play Cinderella<\/strong> on screen alongside fairy godmother Whitney Houston<\/strong>. Yet as the accolades piled up, so too did the pressure to maintain a flawless image. To onlookers, she had crafted the blueprint for the teenage \u201cit\u201d girl. But behind closed doors she was struggling. Delving into the humble roots of her decades-spanning career, her early struggles with bullies and insecurities as a high schooler, and finally her inspirational journey to reclaim her sense of self and her autonomy as a woman in Hollywood and in music, this memoir is an insightful meditation on Brandy<\/strong>\u2019s life and how she rose to become the woman she is today. Told through a series of breathtaking vignettes and never-before-seen family photographs in a full-color insert, Phases<\/em> is a fearless and remarkable story of hope, resilience and the strength it takes to make peace with the past.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

What Mattered Most: A Memoir<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Ty Herndon & David Ritz<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cTy Herndon<\/strong> may be most known for his beautiful country songs, but behind the music Herndon\u2019s own life could be the subject of a classic country ballad. His career began as a member of the band The Tennessee River Boys<\/strong> \u2014 the band that would later become Diamond Rio<\/strong>. He found solo success after signing to Epic Records<\/strong> and releasing the No. 1 hit What Mattered Most<\/em>, launching a decades-long career as one of country music\u2019s leading legends. But behind the fame, Herndon struggled with addiction, mental health issues, and his sexuality \u2014 the latter of which had no place in mainstream country in the \u201990s, 2000\u2019s and arguably through today. Facing a series of setbacks including an arrest, lawsuits and a drug relapse, all while struggling to maintain his secret, his spiral ultimately led to a suicide attempt. His subsequent successful stay in rehab led to the inspiration for his song God Or The Gun<\/em>. Now, Herndon brings that song to life telling his full story for the first time. With profound introspection, brutal honesty, occasional humor and a lot of heart, Herndon shares how he fought against his demons and ultimately chose God over the gun.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

By Richard D. Driver<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cThis book explores the phenomena of Paul McCartney<\/strong>\u2018s career and his legacy in popular music and culture. McCartney has lived an extraordinary life in popular music and popular culture. His careers as a Beatle<\/strong>, as a solo musician and band leader in Wings<\/strong>, and in areas outside music have varied tremendously and are well-documented. That Was Me: Paul McCartney\u2019s Career And The Legacy Of The Beatles<\/em> explores the impact of McCartney as a musician outside The Beatles<\/strong>, identifying the continued excitement in generations of fans and listeners, and his perennial efforts to perform and record music. Richard Driver<\/strong> argues that his solo career is multi-faceted and extremely diverse, ranging from breaking sharply with the style and output of The Beatles<\/strong> to experimenting in orchestral and operatic music and returning to music designed to emulate and reproduce the style, success, and popularity of The Beatles<\/strong>. Through McCartney we can literally and symbolically view and revisit the popular music phenomenon that was The Beatles<\/strong>, and popular music from the 1950s to today.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

Apple Of My Eye: The Story Of Apple Records And The End Of The Beatles<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Andrew Wild<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cThe Beatles<\/strong> pioneered so much in the recording studio during their short time together that it\u2019s easy to forget that they formed their own record company in April 1968. Their business plan: To find and fund new musical talent. By the end of the year Apple<\/strong> had signed James Taylor<\/strong> and struck lucky with Mary Hopkin<\/strong>. The much-admired Badfinger<\/strong> followed, along with albums by obvious associates (Billy Preston<\/strong>, Ravi Shankar<\/strong>, Yoko Ono<\/strong>) and not-so-obvious (John Tavener<\/strong>, Modern Jazz Quartet<\/strong>, Radha Krishna Temple<\/strong>) with mixed financial and artistic success. But The Beatles<\/strong> were not businessmen and the early optimism of shiny newness soon soured into chaos. Major acts such as 10cc<\/strong> and Crosby, Stills & Nash<\/strong> slipped through their fingers. Allen Klein<\/strong> was appointed to sort out the mess, but disenfranchised nearly everybody. Paul McCartney<\/strong> left The Beatles<\/strong> and sued the others. In 1975, The Beatles<\/strong>\u2018 partnership was legally terminated and Apple Records<\/strong>, a vanity label in all but name, was quietly put to sleep. Apple Of My Eye<\/em> revisits each of the albums and singles released by Apple<\/strong> between 1968 and 1975, underpinned by the business and legal context of the last days of the world\u2019s greatest band.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

This unique collection of creative and scholarly works traces Selena<\/strong>\u2018s lasting impact as an entertainer and focal point of community and identity. Assembling essays, memoir, short stories, and poems, The Selena Reader<\/em> memorializes a beloved singer while also exploring the politics and personal meaning of what we remember. Her eloquent admirers tell us what they took from her lyrics and stage presence, the official and fan tributes, and the media and products she inspired. In one essay, Tejana coming-of-age is sharply refracted through the prism of Selena<\/strong>\u2019s art and social status. Another piece considers how her body and distinctive clothing have shaped the author\u2019s sense of queer self. Honey Andrews<\/strong>, the renowned Selena<\/strong> impersonator, shares vivid recollections of her hero. A father and daughter describe how their conversations about Selena<\/strong> changed their relationship and contributed to Chicana feminist consciousness in their lives.

Too Many Miles: On The Road With An Unofficial Rock & Roll Goodwill Ambassador<\/strong><\/span>
By Bobbo Byrnes<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cTake a seat in the passenger side of the van, feel the hum of highway, and join Bobbo Byrnes<\/strong> on a globe-trotting, laugh-out-loud, sometimes heartbreaking ride through the underbelly and glory of rock \u2019n\u2019 roll. Too Many Miles: On The Road With An Unofficial Rock & Roll Goodwill Ambassador<\/em> is not just a tour memoir \u2015 it\u2019s a vivid, candid, and unforgettable portrait of life lived between gigs, airports, train stations, and midnight diners; a book for anyone who\u2019s ever wanted to know what really happens after the curtain falls. Too Many Miles<\/em> shifts effortlessly between riotous anecdotes and small, sharp moments of clarity: The intimacy of a tiny club, the absurdity of rock \u2019n\u2019 roll politics, the surreal sameness of motels in cities with names you can hardly pronounce. What makes this memoir special is its human center. Behind the rock glitter and travelogue trappings is a chronicler of human connection: Fans who become family and the unexpected kindnesses that make long tours bearable. Byrnes is honest about the cost of the road \u2015 the relationships put on hold, the homesickness, the moral compromises \u2015 but he never loses his sense of wonder or his gratitude for a life that, despite the hardship, keeps offering up stories worth telling. Byrnes frames touring as a form of informal diplomacy: a messy, human way of bridging cultural divides that\u2019s often hampered geopolitical tensions and how a guitar or a song can break down many divides. Byrnes writes with crisp pacing and a wry, conversational tone that makes you feel like you\u2019re hearing these tales over a late-night drink.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

Joy Division<\/strong> were formed in the slipstream of punk but, thanks to frontman Ian Curtis<\/strong>\u2019s singular voice and Martin Hannett<\/strong>\u2019s ambitious production, soon stretched beyond the genre\u2019s sonic limits to create something dark and new.

Written by Mayer Nissim<\/strong>, Joy Division And New Order: Album By Album<\/em> deep dives into both groups\u2019 studio LPs, pulling together a comprehensive narrative of two of the most vital bands in pop history.

By Brian J. Robb<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cThe The<\/strong> was always a personal project for songwriter Matt Johnson<\/strong>. Started in 1979, when Johnson was a teenager, the post-punk outfit became central to the political and personal pop of the 1980s. Never a singles band \u2014 they managed seven top 40 singles, with 1989\u2019s anti-Thatcher anthem The Beaten Generation<\/em> reaching No. 18 \u2014 their albums were hits. Infected in 1986 reached No. 14, followed by 1989\u2019s Mind Bomb<\/em> at No. 4 and 1993\u2019s Dusk<\/em> at No. 2. Bandmembers included Johnny Marr<\/strong> and DC Collard<\/strong> with other collaborators including JG Thirlwell<\/strong>, Jools Holland<\/strong>, Neneh Cherry<\/strong>, Zeke Manyika<\/strong>\u00a0and Sinead O\u2019Connor<\/strong> \u2014 a who\u2019s who of 1980s independent pop. A reluctant live musician, Johnson created Infected: The Movie<\/em> instead of a world tour in 1986. The Mind Bomb<\/em> band, including Marr, launched the 1989-\u201990 The The vs The World<\/em> tour, while Dusk<\/em> was supported by the 1993 Lonely Planet <\/em>tour. Johnson appeared to retire following 2000\u2019s Naked Self<\/em>. Although he kept busy with a sideways move into scoring movies, it wasn\u2019t until 2018 that The The<\/strong> returned to playing live with a Comeback Special<\/em> tour. This was followed in 2024 with the new album Ensoulment<\/em> and accompanying tour \u2014 almost a quarter of a century after the band\u2019s last recorded music. In recent years, Johnson has been busier than ever with podcasts, an official bootleg series of CDs exploring rare material, and other idiosyncratic projects.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
