Read a sample Read a sample
This collection of little-known stories from music history is "an effortless summer read for the music lover" (Houston Chronicle).
The author of the highly successful History Channel series The Greatest Stories Never Told returns with new historic tales, this time focusing on amazing music stories that aren't taught in the average classroom
Rick Beyer plums the vast archives of the History Channel to deliver a treasure trove of obscure and fascinating stories to delight and entertain. The Greatest Music Stories Never Told continues the series tradition with short, fascinating tales accompanied by an array of stunning and diverse photographs from around the globe.
The Greatest Music Stories Never Told illuminates the origins of a fascinating range of music topics, from instruments and styles to composers and technological advances—all which show us how little we really know. Guaranteed to astonish, bewilder, and stupefy, this all new volume will appeal not only to history buffs but to pop culture audiences and music fans of all ages and stripes.
"We picked up the book expecting to inflate our egos, reinforcing the myth that we know everything there is to know about music history. Short answer—we were wrong, very wrong." —LA Weekly
"A little book you won't be able to put down." —Florida Times-Union
"History like you've never read it before . . . Amusing." —The Tennessean
"Lively, offbeat and surprising." —Denver Rocky Mountain News
"Fascinating." —Dallas Morning News
"Full of tasty morsels . . . A delightful book to arm one for the next dull cocktail party." —Chicago Tribune
