"This new book reveals the work of nine key singer-songwriters of the 1960s: David Ackles; David Blue; Tim Buckley; Tim Hardin; Fred Neil; Phil Ochs; Tom Rapp; Tim Rose; and Tom Rush. Here are individual tales of creativity and classic songs including If I Were A Carpenter, Everybody's Talkin', Song To The Siren, Hey Joe, and No Regrets. The book shows how these nine talented artists each expanded the standard pop blueprint of the day and made a significant contribution to rock music's coming of age.
A 32 page colour section features rare and revealing photographs, and a fully annotated and illustrated discography details the recorded output of the nine. At the time of writing, eight of our American Troubadours have been "rediscovered", their back-catalogues reissued and their reputations redefined. Only David Blue remains largely forgotten. Tim Buckley is the best known, and is now firmly established as a pioneering figure. The others are still known only to relatively small groups of enthusiasts - critics, knowledgeable collectors, and other musicians.
This book tells their stories."--BOOK JACKET.
