Following, please find a list of books about music and music-related subjects in my collection. I have learned much from these books. This list is being constantly expanded, so please come back and check out the new additions.

Second part of Unterberger´s excellent history of the emergence of American Rock from it´s Folk and Folk-Rock roots. Very well written and superbly researched, as always, this is a must for any serious Rock fan, who wishes to understand the genealogy of the genre.

Excellent book by American Rock critic Richie Unterberger, who is definitely the best writer abuot Rock currently active in the US and about the only one with a broader and intelligent view on music. This is the first volume about American Rock in the mid to late 1960s, which covers the shift from Folk to Folk-Rock between 1965 and 1966., starting with Bob Dylan´s first appearence with his electric band at 1965 Newport Festival. Extremely well researched, this is a classic example of how books about Rock should be written.

Unterberger is a senior editor of the All Music Guide to Rock and a very knowledgeable writer. This book tells the stories of the lesser known musicians and groups of the Rock genre, which by no means makes them less significant. Fascinating reading and a potential eye-opener (or perhaps ear-opener) for all music lovers who missed some of these artists´ sounds. Recommended!

The second volume of what seems to be a "series" and a companion to the one just above. Much the same format concentrating again on the unsung heros of the genre, although some of the names are pretty well known to a serious fan. Based on many interviews with the artists and spiced with the author´s in-depth comments, this is definitely worth reading and full of valuable facts and important observations. Recommended!
