ASTRAL WEEKS by Ryan Walsh
The Ringer published a feature on the 50th anniversary of Van Morrison’s Astral Weeks which heavily drew on and praised Ryan Walsh’s work of history, ASTRAL WEEKS: A SECRET HISTORY OF 1968. “Excellent,” Lindsay Zoladz writes of the book: “Walsh’s book isn’t an analysis of the finished record so much as a conjuring of the atmosphere in which it was dreamed up—an approach that augments the album’s aura rather than draining it of its magic.” Penguin Press published the book on March 6, 2018.

THE LAST COWBOYS is one NPR’s Bes Books of 2018. " John Branch's portrait of a longtime Mormon ranching and champion rodeo family has all the trappings of a can't-put-it-down modern Western…a smart portrayal of a way of life that's slipping away even in the rural West…an almost mythical area that has long been woven tightly in American identity, and there's a lot in these pages that could help us better understand what's behind this country's deepening urban-rural divisions," says Kirk Siegler, correspondent, National Desk.
