Plus sections on Montrose, Van Halen, and Chickenfoot. Whether it’s Sammy and the Waboritas, The Circle, or HSAS, it’s all here. Tim also gives you insight into songs that Hagar has covered (as well as Sammy’s songs that other artists have recorded).Whether you’re a lifelong Redhead, or you just can’t seem to keep from driving over 55, this book is for you!What people are saying about the author’s previous books:“Most rock fans, when they think of Kansas, know Leftoverture and Point of Know Return… and maybe that’s it. Sure, those two albums were massive sellers, but the Kansas discography is so much more. Tim’s book is gorgeous and full of fantastic insights into a band that may be—depending on who you talk to—both overrated and underrated at the same time. Fans, enjoy Let It Be Your Guide!”Bill Flanigan“Author Tim Durling has delivered another amazing book just like he did with his Y&T book Down For The Count. This time on Let It Be Your Guide, Tim explores the American prog rock band Kansas by going through their entire discography with a panel of Kansas fans. The questions he poses to the panelists about the songs and albums are perfect in that they draw a variety of responses that will make old and new fans hear them in a new way. Tim’s knowledge and passion for the band (and his extensive knowledge of music) have created another must-read!”Cesare Cetra“Down For The Count is an excellent overview of this underappreciated band’s career with knowledgeable and enthusiastic contributions throughout.”Jerry Attwooll “Finally someone gives the band Y&T the credit they deserve. Tim Durling’s book Down For The Count: The Y&T Album Review, runs through the history of the great band Y&T and reviews in depth, every album they have in their catalog. I highly recommend this book to not only Y&T fans but all hard rock and metal fans out there who appreciate great music and musicians. Y&T never seem to catch a break throughout their career but have persevered and continue to tour and play to their fans for fifty years!”Artie Silva“If you are a music fan and/or collector, UNSPOOLED is a must-own. Even if you aren’t an 8-Track collector (or even know what 8-Tracks are, LOL), you’ll enjoy as Tim takes us through a musical journey through time with tons of amazing stories and nostalgia. The book itself is beautifully put together, with loads of great photos, and it’s truly a visual feast. I find myself going back and referring to it all the time as it’s also a fantastic resource for anyone just getting into collecting.”Chris Preston“Tim has given us a book that is both entertaining and educational. Wait…those two words do NOT go together! But they do for UNSPOOLED. Just how good is this book? Well, I started collecting 8-Tracks and now I have 12 so far! Any music collector will love the book and find the information spectacular. A must have!”John T. Snow Read more
