Modern song philosophy
Bob Dylan
Anagram | 2022
I have to admit that when I learned that Bob Dylan was going to publish an essay on more than sixty songs by other artists I thought it was going to be something difficult to digest. Nothing is further from reality, What I have in my hands is one of the best musical books published in this 2022, With a presentation that deserves to be in the best of your shelves. In Modern song philosophy Dylan reviews the history of popular music from his personal perspective, Analyzing the historical moment, relating some songs with others and reflecting beyond the musical. A really enjoyable and entertaining book that catches the concise and interesting of its story, the anecdotes you will discover and the colorful layout that surrounds it, tremendously visual. I will only tell you that within its hard cover and among its pages and texts there are distributed 150 photos of spectacular quality. THE PERFECT GIFT IN THESE FIESTARS FOR YOUR MELOMANE FRIEND. Or for you.

Sinatra and me
Tony Oppedisano y Mary Jane Ross
Neo-Sounds | 2022
It may have been written about Frank Sinatra more than any other artist. What is not clear is that meanwhile volume could have been discerned between the person and the character, because very few treated Sinatra as close as the narrator of Sinatra and me. So we are in luck: We can already find in the bookstores the memoirs of Tonny or, that with only twenty -one he met Frank Sinatra and ended up filing a friendship so close that he led him to end up being his road manager and inseparable anecdotes. Divided into four parts corresponding to the four stages of their relationship, Tonny tells those more than two thousand nights (With its two thousand early) shared between Jack Daniels Cups, suspicious women and friends. Confident nights in his home of Palm Springs or on a tour through the world that he tells with an overwhelming affection towards the protagonist of the book. A collection of intimate memories to discover some of the most popular episodes of Sinatra from another perspective, His friend Tony.
