Named one of the Best Rock Books of the Year" by Rolling Stone Kirkus Reviews Through the lens of four fabulously successful musical acts, a Rolling Stone contributing editor looks at the moment 1960s idealism began surrendering to the buzz-kill comedown of the decade ahead…A vivid freeze-frame of Hall of Fame musicians, some of whom would go on to make fine records, none ever again as central to the culture." Parade This juicy, fascinating read transports you back to a turbulent year…Browne artfully describes the creation of these classic songs in a way that makes them seem brand-new." New York Daily News Through rich anecdotes and incisive analysis…the book threads traces of politics, but music remains its worthy focus. The form of the book, told chronologically over four seasons, lends it the compacted, real-time drama of an episode of #145;24'."

Associated Press " Fire and Rain: The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor, CSNY, and the Lost Story of 1970 is a worthy addition to anyone''s collection of such music histories…the nuanced account of the struggles inherent in making music is more than enough to satisfy, as are the delightful surprise connections and asides scattered throughout the book. . . . I couldn''t help but be riveted by the account of this group of immensely talented people who also, when they weren''t at each other''s throats, seemed like they''d be cool to hang out with."

Library Journal Browne engagingly illuminates many overlooked stories that may not be familiar to even dedicated rock enthusiasts. Highly recommended." HollywoodReporter.com An irresistible page-turner, a gossipy, scholarly account of an explosive rock moment, as organized as the times were chaotic— as well-crafted as a Beatles tune.

    It arrived quickly. It was shipped in a plastic bag with no padding. The bag was torn and allowed moisture to get inside the packaging. It was also quite misshapen since the mailman curved it up to leave in our mailbox. I can’t tell if there is new damage or not so I am a bit disappointed. I know there was some damage in the picture so I was expecting that but still thought it would have been packaged better for shipping.
