Arroe Collins Like It's Live

It was 60 years ago this month that Bob Dylan brought his full-band electrical circus to the masses. The outspoken, topical folk singer from Hibbing, Minnesota became the toast of the folk world through his incredible songwriting, razor wit, pointed barbs and completely original style evident in songs like “Blowin’ in the Wind,” “Don’t Think Twice” and “It Ain’t Me, Babe.” But in 1965, he flipped over that table to join his rock and roll contemporaries by going all in on folk-rock. And when he did it, he hired a motley group of mostly Canadian youngsters called the Hawks to bring this to his audience, which almost always met with their scorn and derision, but Bob was dead set on moving on to his next phase and bringing his audience with him. In his latest article for the Strange Brew, which is Part 1 of 2, music historian Scott G. Shea tells the story of the Hawks, who would later change their name to the Band, how they came together as a unit and hooked up with Dylan.

In 1991, Dan Beck became Michael Jackson's main marketing contact at Epic Records. For five rollercoaster years, he was immersed in a world of unequalled stardom, dealing with the outsized ambition, whims and idiosyncrasies of the world's most famous entertainer. It was a pivotal point in Jackson's career. His last album had failed to repeat the record-shattering success of Thriller. Rumors about his personal life and his eccentricities had made him the subject of gossip and accusations. Tabloids had begun calling him "Wacko Jacko." "You've Got Michael" tells the story of the high-stakes battle to save Jackson's career and market his 1995 greatest hits album, as told by the record executive closest to him.Rather than rehash a controversial career, You've Got Michael details the inner workings of the music business at its mega-platinum height. Between the frequent 2:00 a.m. phone calls, pleas to get Michael to complete the new songs for the HIStory greatest hits package and the handling of unpredictable developments, You've Got Michael is a gripping drama about working with a supreme talent through the most difficult time in his career.

The incredible, untold true story of the 1952 Dallas Texans-the most dysfunctional team in the craziest season in NFL history.Rattlesnakes on the practice field, barroom brawls between teammates, bounced checks, paternity suits, house bombings by the Ku Klux Klan, stadium fields covered in circus-elephant dung, one-legged trainers, humiliating defeats, miraculous wins, All-Pro quarterbacks getting drunk at halftime, strip poker with groupies, and even a future Hall of Fame coach stealing a cab.Nearly lost to history, this singular season in the most football-mad region of the world is a kaleidoscope of every larger-than-life, fictionalized Texas football folktale ever written or filmed, with one incredible twist: it's all true. Over a fascinating, ten-month rollercoaster ride in 1952, in the waning Wild West days of the NFL, before television turned the game into a corporation, the forgotten Dallas Texans would go down in history as one of the worst (and, wildest) teams of all time and the last NFL team to fail. But not before defying the Jim Crow South, pulling off a Thanksgiving Day miracle against George Halas's famed Chicago Bears and then celebrating with an even more infamous bender that would make Jimmy Johnson's Dallas Cowboys blush. A year later, the NFL buried all traces of the most loveable, dysfunctional, entertaining team in history by secretly rebranding the train wreck Texans as the wholesome, all-American Baltimore Colts, the team that would go on to save pro football.A Big Mess in Texas tells the Texans' tale with all the humor, drama, game action, colorful characters, villains, world-class athletes, civil rights trailblazers, and incredible plot twists of that legendary season.

Iconic photos by Jill Furmanovsky chart the dramatic career of Oasis-on stage, backstage, in the studio, and at play-paired with exclusive commentary by Noel Gallagher. Jill Furmanovsky's unparalleled work with Oasis stretches from the end of 1994-when the band's debut album, Definitely Maybe, became the fastest-selling debut album in British chart history at the time-to their last tense shows in 2009, which culminated in their split. Jill was given unprecedented access to countless worldwide performances and many recording sessions. In this single, beautiful volume, overseen and edited by Noel Gallagher, award-winner Furmanovsky presents, for the first time, her complete Oasis archive, which she describes as her best body of work, as well as insightful observations taken from notes she made at the time. Organized chronologically, the book depicts more than 500 photographs, contact sheets and sequenced film strips of the band on stage, backstage, on the road, in the studio, and behind the scenes.She captured the drama of the band's lifestyle during the 1990s when, as Jill said, "they were on a comet, hanging on for dear life." The access she was given allowed closeness, and she was able to document the competitive and at times volatile relationship between Noel and Liam Gallagher up to their split in 2009, creating a poignant visual diary that is more than the sum of its parts.Accompanying the images is illuminating commentary by Noel Gallagher, who relates the inside stories of the events pictured in many of the shoots and demonstrates an honest and touching relationship between band and photographer. Three essays by music journalists provide context to the band's story, and an introduction by Jill celebrates the supreme significance of Oasis in her 50+ years photographing musicians.
