Moanin' At Midnight
by Mark Hoffman
Howlin’ Wolf was a musical giant in every way. He stood six foot three, weighed almost three hundred pounds, wore size sixteen shoes, and poured out his darkest sorrows onstage in a voice like a raging chainsaw. Half a century after his first hits, his sound still terrifies and inspires. Born Chester Burnett in 1910, the Wolf survived a grim childhood and hardscrabble youth as a sharecropper in Mississippi. He began his career playing and singing with the first Delta blues stars for two decades in perilous juke joints. He was present at the birth of rock ’n’ roll in Memphis, where Sam Phillips–who also discovered Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis–called Wolf his “greatest discovery.” He helped develop the sound of electric blues and vied with rival Muddy Waters for the title of king of Chicago blues. He ended his career performing and recording with the world’s most famous rock stars. His passion for music kept him performing–despite devastating physical problems–right up to his death in 1976. There’s never been a comprehensive biography of the Wolf until now. Moanin’ at Midnight is full of startling information about his mysterious early years, surprising and entertaining stories about his decades at the top, and never-before-seen photographs. It strips away all the myths to reveal–at long last–the real-life triumphs and tragedies of this blues titan.

Positively 4th Street
by David Hajdu
When Bob Dylan, age twenty five, wrecked his motorcycle near Woodstock in 1966 and disappeared from public view, he closed a chapter on one of the most fascinating stories in postwar cultural history. In just five years Dylan had become the spokesman for the counterculture, Greenwich Village had become the epicenter of youth style, and folk music, once played by earnest throwbacks, had been crossed with rock 'n' roll to form a thoughtful, literate new musical style. The legend of that time is so well known that it is easy to lose sight of how it came about. In POSITIVELY 4TH STREET David Hajdu, whose biography of Billy Strayhorn was one of the best and most popular music books in many season, tells how folk became rock as the story of a colorful foursome: Dylan; his part time lover Joan Baez; her sister Mimi, beautiful, haunted, a musician in her own right; and Mimi's husband, Richard Farina, a novelist and songwriter who virtually invented the worldly wise bohemian persona that Dylan later made his own. In Hajdu's candid, often intimate account based on several hundred new interviews the four musician's rise from scruffy coffeehouse folksingers to pop stars comes about through their personal relationships, as the young Dylan has an affair with the famous Joan Baez to further his career, Farina courts Mimi Baez while looking longingly on her older sister, and Farina's friend Thomas Pynchon keeps an eye on their amours from afar. POSITIVELY 4TH STREET is that rare book with a new story to tell about the 1960s the story of how some of the greatest and most enduring American popular music was created in a fit of collective inspiration.
