COWBOYS AND INDIES is the story of the 'record men' - the mavericks and moguls who have shaped the music industry from the first sound machines of the 1850s through to today's digital streams.Men like John Hammond, who discovered Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen; Sam Phillips and Berry Gordy, founders of the Sun and Motown labels; Chris Blackwell, who brought Bob Marley and reggae music into the mainstream; Geoff Travis who built Rough Trade and launched The Smiths; or genre-busting producer Rick Rubin, who recorded Run DMC, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Johnny Cash.Gareth Murphy has drawn on more than 100 interviews with music business legends, as well as extensive archive research, to bring us the behind-the-scenes stories of how music gets made and sold.

The first half of this was the most valuable. It was so intriguing hearing about the creation of the first sound reproducers--I had never known music was sold on cylinders! The evolution of music in general was also fascinating there, and I wish there had been more of that in the second half. The latter part I was more invested in (give me my 80s music!) but it did feel like an explosion of name, name, big sale, name, band, big sale, and I'm not sure how much I'll retain from that. ( )
