Rock and Roll Book Club

At The Current, we love music — and we love reading books about music. That’s why we created The Current’s Rock and Roll Book Club. Every week, we pick a book about music and share a review online; you can also hear Jay Gabler talk about each week's book on The Current at 8:30 a.m. every Wednesday. We’d love it if you read along with us — and let us know what you think, using the hashtag #RockandRollBookClub. Also, sign up for our monthly e-mail newsletter (below), and join our group on Facebook!

'America, the Band: An Authorized Biography.'

America, the band, have now drifted through a half-century of music history, releasing some indelible hits and a lot more perfectly pleasant music besides. Author/fan Jude Warne chronicles the story of a trio who became some of their generation's most amiable musical companions.
