Book Description
"In this absolutely unprecedented and beautifully produced coffee-table volume, best-selling music writer Paul Grushkin draws on top museum collections and private archives, renowned photographers, lauded poster artists, and record labels to illustrate the remarkable 70-year synergy between music and motoring. The narrative comprises scores of first-person interviews with prominent figures and explores common themes that have been addressed in vehicle-related songs - as symbols of freedom, vehicles as status symbols, as courting tools, as utilitarian work conveyances, as metaphors (when Reverend Horton Heat sings about his "Big Red Rocket of Love," he's not just talking about his shoebox Ford), and vehicles simply as vehicles. Illustrated with images of musicians, bands, vehicles, album and poster art, and collectibles, the book draws direct lineages juxtaposing artists that may have previously seemed disparate. Also included are music's car-related lore and tragedies, like Gene Vincent's motorcycle accident that spurred his spiral into alcoholism; Hank Williams' death in the backseat of his Cadillac; the death of So-Cal punk icon D. Boon in a tour-van accident; and Neil Young connecting with Stephen Stills in L.A. because the latter saw the former's Ontario plates in a traffic jam. In the end, Wheels is the expansive sort of book that everyone from the most casual music fan to the most hardcore musicologist will find difficult to put down."--Provided by the publisher.

Book Description
The acclaimed biography—now updated and revised. “Many writers have tried to probe [Dylan’s] life, but never has it been done so well, so captivatingly” (The Boston Globe). Howard Sounes’s Down the Highway broke news about Dylan’s fiercely guarded personal life and set the standard as the most comprehensive and riveting biography on Bob Dylan. Now this edition continues to document the iconic songwriter’s life through new interviews and reporting, covering the release of Dylan’s first #1 album since the seventies, recognition from the Pulitzer Prize jury for his influence on popular culture, and the publication of his bestselling memoir, giving full appreciation to his artistic achievements and profound significance. Candid and refreshing, Down the Highway is a sincere tribute to Dylan’s seminal place in postwar American cultural history, and remains an essential book for the millions of people who have enjoyed Dylan’s music over the years. “Irresistible . . . Finally puts Dylan the human being in the rocket’s red glare.” —Detroit Free Press

Book Description
"This book is a must read for anyone who is, or has faced physical or emotional trails in their life. It will not only encourage you, it will help you find hope." Craig Caster - Founder, Family Discipleship Ministries "Tim's book is a journey of loss that is heartbreaking. But more than that, it's a journey of redemption, hope and salvation. He's honest about what he's gone through and what it takes to live with NF2, his particular condition. But Tim has dug deep into his relationship with God and testifies of the sustaining grace for life and how God's promises keep him positive and focused. I say this not only from reading Tim's book, but from seeing him in the front row at church as I preach, from having coffee at Starbucks and talking church, Bible and mission. Tim's deepest desire is to be used by the God he loves to help people connect with Jesus and develop that kind of faith that he KNOWS FROM FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE will sustain you through all that life may bring. You will enjoy this book. You will be moved by this book. Mostly you will be challenged by this book." Ed Noble - Lead Pastor, Journey Community Church
