About this product

Product Information

**One of Amazon's Best Books of 2016: Top 100 Editors' Picks** A rollicking look at 1971, rock's golden year, the year that saw the release of the indelible recordings of Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, the Who, Rod Stewart, Carole King, the Rolling Stones, and others and produced more classics than any other year in rock history The Sixties ended a year late. On New Year's Eve 1970 Paul McCartney instructed his lawyers to issue the writ at the High Court in London that effectively ended the Beatles. You might say this was the last day of the pop era. 1971 started the following day and with it the rock era. The new releases of that hectic year--Don McLean's "American Pie," Sly Stone's "Family Affair," Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On," Joni Mitchell's "Blue," Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven," the Who's "Baba O'Riley," and many others--are the standards of today. David Hepworth was twenty-one in 1971, and has been writing and broadcasting about music ever since. In this entertaining and provocative book, he argues that 1971 saw an unrepeatable surge of musical creativity, technological innovation, naked ambition and outrageous good fortune that combined to produce music that still crackles with relevance today. There's a story behind every note of that music. From the electric blue fur coat David Bowie wore when he first arrived in America in February to Bianca's neckline when she married Mick Jagger in Saint-Tropez in May, from the death of Jim Morrison in Paris in July to the re-emergence of Bob Dylan at Madison Square Garden in August, from the soft launch of Carole King's "Tapestry" in California in February to the sensational arrival of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven" in London in November, Hepworth's forensic sweep takes in all the people, places and events that helped make 1971 rock's unrepeatable year.

Reviews
" Cleverly crafted chapters form a glittery, boisterous month-by-month calendar of the 'annus mirabilis...the busiest, most creative, most innovative, most interesting, and longest-resounding year' of an era that produced music we are still listening to." -Elle Magazine "Fascinating cultural history... Vivid, irreverent prose and analytic insight" - Publishers Weekly "[An] entertaining exploration of the year in music that was 1971... [Hepworth] painstakingly recounts the album releases, Top of the Pops performances, and endless touring dates that defined the year... [His] chronicle of the year is loaded with gossipy anecdotes, adroit criticism, and earnest affection for the musicians, record executives, and technicians who defined it. An exuberant tour through a pivotal year in the development of popular music and culture." - Kirkus Reviews "Hepworth brings rare perspicacity into the business machinations of the era, whose movers and shakers were, as he points out, often from a previous, less starry-eyed generation... Never a Dull Moment lives up to its title." - The Guardian "One of the many strengths of Hepworth's book is that it combines both perspectives: emphasising how much a part of 21st-century life these albums remain, while also reminding us that, back when they were made, what most people took for granted was pop's lack of a shelf life... Near the beginning of this richly enjoyable book, Hepworth argues that 1971 saw the pop era giving way to rock. Even so, his own approach is much more like the best pop: never taking itself too seriously, essentially out to entertain -- but also an awful lot smarter than its absence of solemnity might lead you to think." - The Spectator "An engaging and thought-provoking read... Hepworth points out more than once that at the time he had no idea how lucky he was. He knows now - and so do we. -Daily Mail, "Cleverly crafted chapters form a glittery, boisterous month-by-month calendar of the 'annus mirabilis...the busiest, most creative, most innovative, most interesting, and longest-resounding year' of an era that produced music we are still listening to." -Elle Magazine "Wonderful storytelling." - Forbes "A revelatory account of the bombshell 365 days that gave birth to what the author dubs 'the rock era.'" - O: The Oprah Magazine "Fascinating cultural history... Vivid, irreverent prose and analytic insight distinguish the book from the legion of Boomer nostalgia titles. Alongside the requisite gossip, Hepworth's magisterial overview notes the exploitation of nostalgia, the rise of the singer/songwriter, the elevation of rock stars into louche aristocrats, and the transformation of FM radio to an album-oriented rock format. Hepworth also details the openness of record labels to new talent and experimental recording techniques that laid the groundwork for punk, indie, and electronica." - Publishers Weekly "[ Never a Dull Moment is] laced with a wisdom gathered over many years as a journalist and industry insider, and with an enthusiasm for the music and an understanding of the economics driving the evolution of popular culture...a highly readable reassessment and a convincing argument for the importance of a year in which the culture of rock began to be aware that it was living out its good old days." - New Statesman "[An] entertaining exploration of the year in music that was 1971... [Hepworth] painstakingly recounts the album releases, Top of the Pops performances, and endless touring dates that defined the year... [His] chronicle of the year is loaded with gossipy anecdotes, adroit criticism, and earnest affection for the musicians, record executives, and technicians who defined it.

He knows now - and so do we." -Daily Mail "With its apt title, Never a Dull Moment makes you want to be 25 in the '70s again." - Associated Press "A fast ride through that year proving that the hot pants sensation was not the only thing making news." - The Charlotte Observer "Soon every post-war year will have its own tombstone book, but this is already one of the best." - GQ , Editor's Hit List "A clever and entertaining book...Hepworth proves a refreshingly independent thinker. His style is pithy and his eye for anecdotal detail sharp...a thoroughly provoking delight." - Daily Telegraph, "Cleverly crafted chapters form a glittery, boisterous month-by-month calendar of the ''annus mirabilis...the busiest, most creative, most innovative, most interesting, and longest-resounding year'' of an era that produced music we are still listening to." -Elle Magazine "Wonderful storytelling." - Forbes "A revelatory account of the bombshell 365 days that gave birth to what the author dubs ''the rock era.''" - O: The Oprah Magazine "[An] expansive overview of the high-water mark of rock''s album-oriented maturity....[Hepworth is] sharp and zingy....his mix of garrulousness and dry wit makes Never a Dull Moment a zip to read." -NPR "Fascinating cultural history...

  • Great overview of one of the most consequential years in music history.

    An excellent overview of one of the most consequential years in music history. I was 10 going on 11 in 1971 and an avid music fan. The music that was on the radio, even top 40 ran the gamut from pop, rock, jazz and soul. Call it the great era before fragmentation and corporate radio narrowing playlists.

  • Never a Dull Moment focuses on great albums released in 1971. There were quite a few!

    The author took pains to get the facts correct. The research was scholarly, but the writing was very accessible. It is written from a British point of view, but with a great knowledge of American music of the 60's and early 70's.

  • Informative Book About the Best in Rock Music

    As a former music journalist who wrote about the arts scene in 1971, it was great to see a different perspective on the best music of that year.
