Title
Richie Unterberger's Unknown Legends
Description
Richie Unterberger has been writing about little-known and well-known rock and popular music of all kinds for 20 years. Backbeat Books has just published his sixth book, Eight Miles High: Folk-Rock's Flight from Haight-Ashbury to Woodstock , the second book in a two-volume history of the 1960s folk-rock movement. Eight Miles High covers folk-rock from mid-1966 to the end of the 1960s, drawing on more than 100 first-hand interviews, as did its predecessor, Turn! Turn! Turn! , which covers the history of folk-rock through mid-1966.
His book Unknown Legends of Rock'n'Roll , published by Miller Freeman in 1998, profiled 60 underappreciated cult rock artists of all styles and eras. Its sequel, Urban Spacemen & Wayfaring Strangers: Overlooked Innovators and Eccentric Visionaries of '60s Rock , was published by Miller Freeman in the fall of 2000. Both of these books draw extensively upon first-hand interviews with the musicians profiled, as well as interviews with many of their close associates. These volumes cover important artists that have rarely been covered in depth in print, and have often rarely had the opportunity to tell their stories and put forth their perspectives.
He is also author of The Rough Guide to Music USA , a guidebook to the evolution of regional popular music styles throughout America in the twentieth century, and the first two editions of the travel guidebook The Rough Guide to Seattle. Since 1993, he has been a prolific contributor to the All Music Guide , the largest on-line database of music biographies and album reviews, for which he has written thousands of entries.
