My books include The Unreleased Beatles: Music and Film; a two-volume history of 1960s folk-rock, Turn! Turn! Turn!: The '60s Folk-Rock Revolution and its sequel, Eight Miles High: Folk-Rock's Flight from Haight-Ashbury to Woodstock ; Unknown Legends of Rock'n'Roll , profiles of sixty of the most interesting cult rock acts of all time; its sequel Urban Spacemen & Wayfaring Strangers: Overlooked Innovators and Eccentric Visionaries of '60s Rock ; and Music USA , a guide to the regional popular music of the United States. I have also written thousands of album reviews and artist biographies for the All Music Guide.

If you've looked up my Web page, the odds are you're heavily into music, alternative/independent travel, or some combination of the two. This site offers updates on my various books and projects, but also some nifty extras that won't be found in my printed work. Those include complete transcripts of interviews of cult rockers and folk-rockers big and small that I've spoken with while researching my books; otherwise unavailable lists and album reviews for those hungering for even more information along the same lines; and links to like-minded sites where you can find out more about the musicians, albums, and travel destinations I've covered. Click on the book titles on this page for excerpts, lists, interviews, and more info about each one.
