Sinossi

‘He was probably the most naturally talented person I've ever worked with.’Will Reid Dick, Engineer on Jailbreak.
 
Philip Lynott: Renegade is the story of a pioneering Irish musician. From his early days in his beloved Dublin music scene through the adventurous days of Thin Lizzy, the band he led for thirteen years, Philip himself revealed in song the ebb and flow of his public and private life.
 
Once mainstream success came his way with Lizzy's powerhouse Jailbreak album in 1976, his musical thirst only heightened, with this book also offering an intimate insight into his musical experimentation beyond the Thin Lizzy framework. Indeed, the very subtle solo material he produced, in addition to the main body of his recorded work with Thin Lizzy, is often overlooked despite being inhabited with lyrical depth, honesty and amusing but purposeful misdirection.
 
From the slow burn of his rise with his beloved band to the unfortunate and unnecessary outcome of his short life, this book offers an essential biography of this remarkable musician, often from the vantage point of the people who were by his side through it all.
 
The authorAlan Byrne lives in County Cork, Ireland. He has written three volumes of biography about Thin Lizzy and Philip Lynott as part of an ongoing Lizzy and Lynott series of projects.

    The Lay of the Land - A...

    A spiritually uplifting memoir by the hugely popular photographer on Instagram, Joe Greer, Lay of the Land is a collection of thoughtful essays—half fan favorites, and half never-before-seen. 
    “Each photograph really does come down to a split second when you decide to freeze that moment in time. . . . You ask yourself what the story is that you want to tell, and let the rest unfold: Click.”—from the introduction 
    Joe Greer never imagined he would become a photographer.  
    Raised in Florida by an aunt and uncle after his mother’s death when he was four, Joe had a seemingly normal childhood, spending summers at church camp and dreaming of going to college. But nearly fifteen years later, the ground shifted beneath his feet when he discovered a family secret that would impact the rest of his life. 
    Trying to make sense of that revelation and what it meant for his future, Greer set his sights on becoming a pastor at Spokane’s Moody Bible Institute. There, he discovered Instagram—and a passion for photography. His pictures of the lush, wild beauty of the Pacific Northwest landscape attracted a large following that has grown to more than three quarters of a millions fans and continues to expand.  
    The Lay of the Land is Joe’s story. In this stunning compendium, he reflects on the trauma of his early life and what photography has taught him: how to find his light; how to slow down; how to appreciate the world around him, a reverence for the nature world that that both nurtures and amplifies his creativity and faith; how to love—his photography led him to his wife, Madison—and how to heal. For Joe, photography has been a way to find purpose, better understand his faith, and express himself. Though he began with landscapes, meeting his wife sparked a new love of portraiture, and he turned to making photos of street scenes that explored his complicated feelings about family.  
    A love letter to the natural world, to faith, and to finding your calling in the most unexpected places, The Lay of the Land is a window into the beautiful mind and heart of one of the internet’s favorite photographers. Moving and inspiring, it is a creative and spiritual journey that offers lessons on life and living. As Greer reminds us all, whatever it is you want, it’s up to you to make the moment (and the photograph).

    George Michael's Faith

    On Saturday, June 28, 1986, George Michael picked up his tasseled leather jacket, walked out of London’s Wembley Stadium and cheerfully tore up five years of glittering pop history. He’d just disposed of Wham!, the band he’d formed with school friend Andrew Ridgeley when they were teenagers, and now, at 23, he knew he was all grown up. He just needed to convince everyone else. Faith is what happens when you’ve outstripped your dreams, your peers, your friends and your fans, and no one’s caught up yet. It’s about pouring all of that confusion, insecurity and sizzling ambition into music that comes out confused, insecure and ambitious – and then selling 25 million copies of it. George Michael was always preparing for this and, in the process, he set a template for all disaffected singers making that move. This book examines that model and the themes that went into Faith – from engaging in politics to crossing over to a Black audience and writing classic pop songs to endure – and speaks to the surviving key players to tell the story of how it was made.
