Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Follow the Music tells the story of one of the finest and most respected record labels of the golden age of pop and rock music from the perspective of the man who founded the company and nurtured its stars. It follows Holzman on his journey from overseeing limited pressings of obscure folk artists to signing international stars such as Jim Morrison, right up to the sale of the company and beyond. Since its initial publication in 1998, the book has been described as a must-read addition to the best chronicles of popular music in this over-stimulated century by Timothy White, editor in chief at Billboard magazine, and an extraordinary history ... funny, enlightening, and entertaining by the All Music Guide. This edition includes a 26-track CD of recordings by Elektra's pre-rock artists.

Synopsis:

The founder and 23-year president of Elektra Records captures pivotal scenes of pop culture from 1950-1973, from what happened backstage when Bob Dylan went electric to Jim Morrison's legendary shenanigans.

An amazing insight into a specific facet of one of my favourite historical periods, the 60's. Jac Holzman intuitive savvy is astounding and his place in the pantheon of rock immortals assured. His innovative spirit really translates well to the page. Even tho there are some areas I wish he would have explored deeply (i.e. the recording of Love's "Forever Changes)", reading about his futile resolve to keep the music business more about the music than the business is sobering. If you are a sucker for music bio's like me, this one is hard to put down. I even had to keep reading it in the car on a recent road trip.
