Hablar de Whitesnake es hablar de David Coverdale, uno de los mejores cantantes y compositores que ha dado el rock. Lejos de la imagen de estrella del rock antipática y desfasada, Coverdale siempre ha logrado trasmitir la sensacion de ser un verdadero caballero ingles, un gentleman de los pies a la cabeza capaz de volver locos a miles de espectadores con tan solo apuntar al cielo con su pie de micro. Durante los primeros años de su carrera como cantante pocos eran los rivales capaces de competir con la magia y la potencia que destilaba a traves de su garganta. Completamente polivalente en diferentes estilos, desde el blues mas clasico mostrado en Trouble o Lovehunter, hasta el hard rock mas atrevido que le reportaria la fama mundial con 1987. La primera oportunidad de mostrar al mundo sus dotes como cantante la tuvo nada menos que junto a una de las bandas mas legendarias de la historia: Deep Purple. Y no contento con ello, tras la separacion de la formacion creo su propio grupo con el que disco tras disco nos fue mostrando una mejor tecnica vocal, ampliando sus rangos vocales y convirtiendose en uno de los cantantes mas importantes de la historia del Rock. Su carrera esta repleta de albumes para enmarcar, desde su debut a nivel profesional en el Burn de Deep Purple, a verdaderas joyas en forma de album como Slide It In o el archiconocido 1987. Pero este libro no solo trata de la carrera de David Coverdale, sino de la historia de Whitesnake, un grupo por el que han pasado infinidad de musicos que ademas de haber sido en mayor o menor medida historia de la serpiente, tambien han aportado su granito de arena a la historia del Rock en bandas como UFO, Gary Moore, Rainbow o Black Sabbath, entre otros muchos.

Lemmy's name was synonymous with notorious excess. His blood would have killed another human being. This is the up-to-date story of the heaviest drinking, oversexed speedfreak in the music business who tragically passed away earlier this year. Lemmy had quickly outgrown his local bands in Wales, and tripped through his early career with the Rocking Vicars, backstage touring with Jimi Hendrix, and his time with Hawkwind. In 1975 he went on to create speedmetal and form the legendary band Motorhead. Motorhead stand firm as conquerors of the rock world, their history spanning an insurrectionary forty years. While the Motorhead line-up saw many changes, Lemmy was always the soul of the machine. In the words of drummer Mikkey Dee, 'Lemmy was Motorhead.' White Line Fever has been completely updated post Lemmy's untimely death in 2016, and offers all Motorhead fans who loved his music a sometimes hilarious, often outrageous, highly entertaining ride with the frontman of (what was) the loudest rock band in history. A truly epic finale, and tribute, to Lemmy from those who loved him best.

When Thomas Harding discovered that his family had profited from slavery, he set out to interrogate the choices of his ancestors and Britain's role in this terrible history. His investigation took him to Demerara (now Guyana), the site of an uprising by enslaved people in 1823, the largest in the British Empire and a key trigger in the abolition of slavery. Charting the dramatic build-up to this landmark event through the eyes of four people - an enslaved man, a missionary, a colonist, and a slaveholder - Harding lays bare the true impact of years of unimaginable cruelty and incredible courage and asks how those who benefitted from slavery can take responsibility for the White Debt.

When Muddy Waters came to London at the start of the '60s, a kid from Boston called Joe Boyd was his tour manager; when Dylan went electric at the Newport Festival, Joe Boyd was plugging in his guitar; when the summer of love got going, Joe Boyd was running the coolest club in London, the UFO; when a bunch of club regulars called Pink Floyd recorded their first single, Joe Boyd was the producer; when a young songwriter named Nick Drake wanted to give his demo tape to someone, he chose Joe Boyd. More than any previous '60s music autobiography, Joe Boyd's "White Bicycles" offers the real story of what it was like to be there at the time. His greatest coup is bringing to life the famously elusive figure of Nick Drake - the first time he's been written about by anyone who knew him well. As well as the '60s heavy-hitters, this book also offers wonderfully vivid portraits of a whole host of other musicians: everyone from the great jazzman Coleman Hawkins to the folk diva Sandy Denny, Lonnie Johnson to Eric Clapton, The Incredible String Band to Fairport Convention.
