An acclaimed music historian brings us the long-awaited story of Ian &amp; Sylvia - marking the first time that the legendary folk duo has endorsed a biography of their groundbreaking career. Their classic "Four Strong Winds" is widely considered to be one of the great songs of all time. Bob Dylan, Gordon Lightfoot, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, and Joni Mitchell count among their admirers. Their music, including hits like "You Were On My Mind" and "Someday Soon," has been recorded by everyone from Dylan, Joan Baez, and Johnny Cash to Sarah McLachlan and The Tragically Hip. Their influence on music - both in Canada and the United States - has endured over generations and surpassed genres. Yet until now, we have known little of the story behind the folk sensations Ian &amp; Sylvia. In Four Strong Winds, John Einarson takes us back to Ian &amp; Sylvia's early days in Toronto coffeehouses, to their experiences at the heart of the vibrant 1960s Greenwich Village folk scene, and beyond, as their personal and musical partnership continued to change and evolve. Based on Ian and Sylvia Tyson's own personal reflections as well as on the recollections of contemporaries, associates, and admirers, Four Strong Winds is the definitive account of this iconic musical duo and a window on a fascinating period in music history.

Magic Carpet Ride: The Autobiography of John Kay and Steppenwolf

Kay, John

The Guess Who were Canada's first international rock music superstars, leading the Canadian invasion of artists like Neil Young, The Band, Rush, Loverboy, Bryan Adams, and Crash Test Dummies. The achievements of this Winnipeg-based band were dazzling: the first platinum record award in Canada for American Woman, five American top ten gold singles, RPM magazine's top band four years running, the BMI award for over one million airplays of These Eyes. The characteristic "wheatfield soul" of The Guess Who was sown in the community clubs of Winnipeg in the 1960s when teen-aged performers like Neil Young, Randy Bachman, and Burton Cummings were trendsetters. The band made this Canadian "sound" international. The Guess Who also created some of the greatest songs in rock music history.

One of rock music's most fascinating personalities, Neil Young has persistently charted his own career, ignoring pop fashions, creating innovative music ranging from folk classics like "Heart of Gold" to rock and roll anthems like "Down By the River."  Don't Be Denied charts Neil Young's formative years, from his high school days in Winnipeg, Manitoba through his adventures in Toronto's Yorkville district to his ultimate successes with Buffalo Springfield, Crazy Horse, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, and as a solo performer. When asked by biographer John Einarson why so little is known of his Canadian years, Young replied, "No one ever asked me!"  Revised and updated by the author in 2012, Don't Be Denied also includes over 40 rare photographs from Neil Young's early days, from 1960 thru 1987.  "Neil Young has been an inspiration to musicians and non-musicians alike. He can be truly called the voice of his generation...Neil, just by being himself, has forged a style and identity like no other. His voice and his guitar playing are instantly recognizable anywhere in the world." -Randy Bachman  "I learned a lot from Neil. He impressed me so much as a writer, as an artist, as someone to work with. I have such fond memories of what we created together, the five of us in Buffalo Springfield. He's a neat guy - he really is." -Richie Furay

Widely hailed as a genius, Arthur Lee was a character every bit as colorful and unique as his music. In 1966, he was Prince of the Sunset Strip, busy with his pioneering racially-mixed band Love, and accelerating the evolution of California folk-rock by infusing it with jazz and orchestral influences, a process that would climax in a timeless masterpiece, the Love album Forever Changes. Shaped by a Memphis childhood and a South Los Angeles youth, Lee always craved fame. Drug use and a reticence to tour were his Achilles heels, and he succumbed to a dissolute lifestyle just as superstardom was beckoning. Despite endorsements from the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, Leess subsequent career was erratic and haunted by the shadow of Forever Changes, reaching a nadir with his 1996 imprisonment for a firearms offence. Redemption followed, culminating in an astonishing post-millennial comeback that found him playing Forever Changes to adoring multi-generational fans around the world. This upswing was only interrupted by his untimely death, from leukemia, in 2006. Writing with the full consent and cooperation of Arthur's widow, Diane Lee, author John Einarson has meticulously researched a biography that includes lengthy extracts from the singer's vivid, comic, and poignant memoirs, published here for the first time.
