Sorry I do not have pictures of these. The Phil Lesh and Neil Young hardcover books come with the original dust covers, they are in excellent condition.
Phil Lesh: Searching For The Sound, My Life With The Grateful Dead (Hardcover, 2005, 338 pages, excellent condition). $10 includes USPS Media Mail/Delivery Confirmation CONUS only.
This is Phil Lesh's autobiography. It covers from his childhood through 2002 after his liver transplant. A great read by an excellent and unique bass player. Phil wrote this without a ghostwriter. He is brutally honest about his life, interactions with other GD members, drug/alcohol use, etc. I have read it twice, now it is your turn!
SOLD Neil Young: Shakey, Neil Young's Biography by Jimmy McDonough (Hardcover, 2002, 785 pages, excellent condition). $12 includes USPS Media Mail/Delivery Confirmation CONUS only.
Hailed as the definitive biography of Neil Young. It covers his life through about 2002. Detailed reporting and analysis of his development as a musician and person. Indespensible for the Neil Young fan. I read it a couple of times, it is a great read.
A quote about the book: Cantankerous and secretive, Neil Young has banished authors from his inner sanctum--until now. In Shakey, Jimmy McDonough distills more than 300 interviews (including guarded yet revealing interrogations of Young himself) into the definitive biography: the skyrocket success, willful disasters, health horrors and triumphs, stunning comebacks, and highly colorful scuffles with equally impossible characters like Stephen Stills, David Crosby, and the incompetent yet brilliant musicians of Crazy Horse. Young is not quite the noble soul some thought--he's an astounding control freak. But he is never less than fascinating. "As ruthless as I may seem to be," Young tells McDonough, "you gotta do what ya gotta do. Just like a f-----' vampire. Heh heh heh." --Tim Appelo --
SOLD Roy Buchanan: American Axe by Phil Carson (Paperback, 2001, 282 pages, very good to excellent condition). $10 including shipping (USPS Media Mail/Delivery Confirmation, CONUS only).
Roy Buchanan was a "guitarist's guitarist" who shunned fame for a musical odyssey on America's roadhouse circuit with his battered Telecaster - melding blues, country, jazz and rock like no player before or since. This is a compelling road trip through the gritty world of honky tonks and beer joints where this enigmatic journeyman preferred to play. Readers meet the biggest names in pop music and legions of unknowns along the way, from the dawn of rock and roll to Buchanan's puzzling death in 1988.
"We just sat there aghast ... It was some of the best playing I've ever heard ... He defied all the laws of verse-chorus-verse and just blazed." - Jeff Beck
"Roy was one of the creators in the pioneering of unusual sounds. It seemed as though I was hearing them come first from Roy Buchanan." - Les Paul
