This commemorative songbook features 20 of David Bowie’s greatest hits, spanning his entire career from 1969 to 2016. Each song is arranged for Piano, Vocal and Guitar, with full lyrics and Guitar chord boxes. David Bowie was an actor, a fashion icon, an artist, a mime and a writer, but above all, his creative output as a musician brought him the respect, admiration and adoration enjoyed by few other pop stars before or since. His consistent re-invention of his aesthetic, style and sound, as well as his mysterious alter egos enabled him to mould his music to a number of genres, eluding easy classification and producing a string of widely acclaimed albums and singles. This collection represents this musical icon, from his first single Space Oddity, to Lazarus, with a lengthy introductory tribute from renowned music journalist Chris Charlesworth. This is the perfect way to pay tribute to the legendary Starman. Songlist: - Absolute Beginners - Ashes To Ashes - Changes - Golden Years - Heroes - The Jean Genie - Lazarus - Let’s Dance - Life On Mars? - The Man Who Sold The World - Modern Love - Oh! You Pretty Things - Rock ’n’ Roll Suicide - Sound And Vision - Space Oddity - Starman - Suffragette City - Where Are We Now? - Wild Is The Wind - Ziggy Stardust

The debut book from acclaimed singer-songwriter, Jenny Simmons, chronicles her final days as the lead singer of the band Addison Road and the subsequent journey that led her through seasons of change, lostness and finding new life. Inspired by a complete meltdown in the spaghetti aisle, a spiritual-director doctor, an audacious New York lady-pastor, and the stories of God showing up for His people in deserts, Jenny began to chronicle her time in the wilderness. The result is a painfully vulnerable, laugh-out-loud, honest and hopeful reflection on some of life's most uncertain seasons. The Road to Becoming will invite you to view your own not-how-I-planned-it moments as holy seasons and challenge you to re-think happily-ever-after.

"From mansions to trap houses, office buildings to strip clubs, Atlanta is defined by its rap music. But this flashy and fast-paced world is rarely seen below surface-level as a collection not of superheroes and villains, cartoons and caricatures, but of flawed and inspired individuals all trying to get a piece of what everyone else seems to have. In artistic, commercial, and human terms, Atlanta rap represents the most consequential musical ecosystem of this century so far. Rap Capital tells the dramatic stories of the people who make it tick, and the city that made them that way."--

Legends about the Ottawa, Chippewa, and Nepessing Indians have left an indubitable mark upon the Lapeer area. Streets, rivers, and towns sing out the melody of their ageless legacy, just as those first settlers of Lapeer left their footprints upon the towns and cities for generations to follow. Like a comfortable rocker, the lyrics of hospitality linger, whispering of a way of life not easily left within the pages of a history book. Frugal, yet compassionate, these early pioneers shared their meager provisions and scant shelters with the tribes and wayward travelers alike. Lumberjacks sawed and farmers harvested their crops, threshed their grain, raised their barns, and worshipped together. Feuds never lasted and families never parted. The people of the Lapeer area worked, voted, and played together, creating a place of beauty for the generations they would never know. The gentle rolling hillsides still ring with their music, whether it is the moccasin footsteps of the first hunter, the boot-clad lumberjack or farmer, or the European tradition of riding to the hounds-for here the panoramic view of the Lapeer area comes alive with heritage, horses, and hills.

The concept behind the Ruth and Martin's Album Club blog is simple: Make people listen to a classic rock album they've never heard before. Make them listen to it two more times. Get them to explain why they never bothered with it before. Then ask them to review it. What began as a simple whim quickly grew in popularity, and now Ruth and Martin's Album Club has featured some remarkable guests: Ian Rankin on Madonna's Madonna. Chris Addison on Marvin Gaye's What's Going On. Brian Koppelman on The Smiths' Meat is Murder. JK Rowling on the Violent Femmes' Violent Femmes. Bonnie Greer on The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds. Martin Carr on Paul McCartney's Ram. Brian Bilston on Neil Young's Harvest. Anita Rani on The Strokes' Is This It. Richard Osman on Roxy Music's For Your Pleasure. And many, many more. Each entry features an introduction to each album by blog creator Martin Fitzgerald. What follows are delightful, humorous and insightful contributions from each guest as they have an album forced upon them and - for better or worse - they discover some of the world's favourite music. Ruth and Martin's Album Club is a compilation of some of the blog's greatest hits as well as some exclusive material that has never appeared anywhere before. Throughout, we get an insight into why some people opt out of some music, and what happens when you force them to opt in.
