Stephen T. Lewis – Richard Manuel biografie

Stephen T. Lewis Richard Manuel biografie review, recensie en informatie boek over zijn leven en muziek, van de Hawks en Bob Dylan tot The Band. Op 24 juni 2025 verschijnt bij Schiffer Publishing de biografie van Richard Manuel de op 4 maart 1986 overleden zanger, pianist en lid van The Band. Een Nederlandse vertaling van de biografie is niet verkrijgbaar.

Stephen T. Lewis Richard Manuel biografie review en recensie

  • “The book has made his haunting voice come to life, succeeding in the most difficult of tasks–highlighting the heartbreak of what might have seemed a foregone conclusion.” (The Wall Street Journal)
  • “It’s hard to imagine American music in the sixties and seventies without The Band, even though they never quite got the attention and sales they deserved. Yet the country/folk/blues end of rock would not have existed without them. And though other band members got more attention, Richard Manuel’s voice and classic blues piano were at the very core of that music. Which is why Stephen Lewis’ Richard Manuel deserves serious attention. It fills a major gap in our understanding.” (Dennis McNally)

Flaptekst van de biografie Richard Manuel van The Band

For the first time—in an official biography endorsed by his family—the Band’s legendary Richard Manuel’s compositions and performances are analyzed with expert commentary while shining a light on his contributions to all of his bands—and on the undeniable impact he had on rock music.

Richard Manuel was a fearless original. Sweetly soulful as a vocalist and endearingly creative as a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, he was a vital part of some of rock ’n’ roll’s pivotal moments, including Bob Dylan’s controversial move to electric music, Woodstock 1969, and the legendary Last Waltz.

Through thoughtful research and analysis, this book places Manuel’s troubled yet inspired spirit within a musical and historical context.

For the first time, Manuel’s compositions and performances are critiqued with expert commentary—alongside new interviews with family, friends, and fellow musicians, including Eric Clapton and Van Morrison.

The story traces Manuel’s journey from Stratford, Ontario, to Woodstock, New York, and beyond, beginning with his first band, the Revols, then singing the blues with Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Rick Danko, and Garth Hudson in the Hawks, the group that would later become the Band.

Manuel’s influence was profound, his distinctive vocals infusing songs with emotion and depth. His songwriting flourished in classics like “Tears of Rage,” cowritten with Dylan, and “We Can Talk.” His keyboard work added a lovable funkiness to the Band’s sound, blending elements of rock, folk, country, and blues into what would become the genesis of Americana.

Despite the Band’s successes, Manuel struggled with personal demons, battling addiction and inner turmoil. Looking beyond his human frailty, this book celebrates Richard Manuel’s immeasurable contributions to music, ensuring that memories of his voice and artistry endure.

Stephen T. Lewis has been writing about rock and roll for over 20 years and is a self-proclaimed music geek. He operates talkfromtherockroom.com. He graduated from SUNY Brockport with a degree in English / creative writing. Stephen and his wife, Amiee, live in Rochester, New York.

Flaptekst van het boek over de Porsche RS modellen

Aerodynamics, lightweight construction, power, and balance: RS models from Porsche are always the sharpest upgrade on this side of the racetrack. For more than 50 years, Porsche 911s of every generation have borne the RS abbreviation, which stands for Renn Sport (“sport racing”). Models with this designation dominate motor sports, inspire purists, push amateur racing drivers to their limits, and are simply a lot of fun.

Professional automotive journalists Constantin Bergander and Fabian Hoberg—in cooperation with Porsche—provide a unique insight into the fastest chapter of Porsche history. Starting with the 550 RS and 1500 RS, through the now-iconic first 911 RS, to the 992 GT3 RS—which as a prototype offers a preview of the next generation of high-performance 911s—you’ll find every version of the 911 with an RS logo on the rear. This book tells the RS story of the Porsche 911, from the famous “ducktail” to the elaborate drag reduction system, from thin sheet metal bodies to carbon fiber doors, from the 2.7-liter naturally aspirated engine to the 4.0-liter high-revving unit with rigid valve train.

The complete story of the RS is told with

  • more than 280 full-color photographs;
  • quotes from the engineers, designers, and other professionals who created and built the RS;
  • behind-the-scenes info on the whys and hows of RS development; and
  • a detailed data section with full technical specifications for every RS model.

The highly informative text, detailed technical data, and emotional and evocative photos by expert photographer Peter Besser document a very special piece of Porsche history.

Flaptekst van het boek over het vliegtuig Lockheed Constellation

A concise illustrated history of the Lockheed Constellation, Super Constellation and Starliner.

The Lockheed Constellation is the definitive postwar prop airliner. The type was developed during the Second World War by a talented and famous development team, which included Howard Hughes and Kelly Johnson. This book provides a colorful illustrated history of the type.

Readers will enjoy several hundred vintage photographs featuring aircraft and airlines from all over the world. There is ample coverage for all three major commercial variants of the aircraft: the Constellation, the Super Constellation, and the Starliner. Wartime service by military versions is also described.

She was affectionally named “Mona Lisa of the Skies” by her fans, and the Constellation’s graceful lines were the epitome of elegance and beauty in the “golden age” of air transport. One chapter is dedicated to the special features and extra comforts provided by luxury carriers. Freighter models and conversions are also detailed in their own chapter.

Wolfgang Borgmann’s enthusiasm for aviation was passed on to him by his parents, who were active in the aviation field. In his early years, he began building up an aviation historical collection that provides numerous rare photos and documents, as well as exciting background information, for his books. Since April 2000, Borgmann has been active as an author and freelance aviation journalist. Since February 2022, he works as editor for the leading German civil aviaiton magazine Aero International. He lives in Oerlinghausen, Germany.
