Backstage & Beyond Volume 1 : 45 Years of Classic Rock Chats & Rants

Jim Sullivan, who spent 26 years writing about popular music for the Boston Globe, focuses on artists who came to prominence in the 1950s and '60s in the first volume of his anthology, Backstage & Beyond. Drawing on multiple interviews he conducted with each artist, Sullivan – a 2023 inductee into the New England Music Hall of Fame – delivers fascinating, entertaining and occasionally hair-raising profiles of such Rock and Roll Hall of Famers as Jerry Lee Lewis, David Bowie, Warren Zevon, the Kinks, Aerosmith, Pete Townshend, Alice Cooper, John Fogerty and Tina Turner.
