Various Artists - The Little Black Leather Book of Rock 'N' Roll Review by Gary Hill It's only partially black, definitely not leather, but it is certainly little and undoubtedly about rock 'n' roll. This is a pocket-sized volume of quotes about all sorts of topics surrounding the musical style that started out as rock 'n' roll and later became just plain rock. More



Various Artists - Using Your Art and The Media To Comfort People written by Anne Leighton Review by Gary Hill This is a little change of pace for MSJ. Normally we review books "about" music. This book however is less about music than it is a resource for musicians. More



Various Artists - 108 Rock Star Guitars written by Lisa S. Johnson Review by Gary Hill This is the quintessential coffee table book. That’s particularly true for those who love guitars. More



Various Artists - The History of Irish Music written by Larry Kirwan Review by Gary Hill When I saw the title to this book, I was expecting a dry reading experience. More



Various Artists - Turn Up the Strobe: The KLF, The Jams, The Timelords a History written by Ian Shirley Review by Gary Hill I have to admit that my previous experience with the artists documented here is very minor. I mean, as a “Doctor Who” fan, I love The Timelords hit “Doctorin’ the TARDIS.” More



Various Artists - The Suite Music World of Gary Hill: Collected Articles Originally Published at Suite101 written by Gary Hill Review by Greg Olma This book is not really new material but rather a collection of Gary Hill's articles for a website called “Suite 101." Some might not like dated material, but I find these types of books enjoyable for a number of reasons. More



Various Artists - Underrated Rock Book: The 200 Most Overlooked Albums 1970-2015 written by Jim Santora, Jr. Review by Gary Hill The premise is simple: list 200 albums that are under-appreciated. When Jim Santora started the project he set some ground rules. More



Various Artists - The Sound of Things to Come: An Audible History of the Science Fiction Film written by Trace Reddell Review by Gary Hill One of the problems with doing book reviews for Music Street Journal is that the deadlines for making the issues mean that I don't have a lot of time for reading. More



Various Artists - Crossover the Edge: Where Hardcore, Punk And Metal Collide written by Alexandros Anesiadis Review by Gary Hill At quick glance, this seems like a book that has a lot of photos and perhaps not a lot of substance. Well, you can't believe your first impressions. More
