Overview

"Full of tasty morsels. A delightful book to arm one for the next dull cocktail party.” —Chicago Tribune

Rick Beyer, author of the highly successful History Channel series The Greatest Stories Never Told returns with new historic tales from the world of music—ennobling, entrancing and inevitably surprising stories of soaring genius, tantalizing scandal, nefarious intrigue, and, above all, unbridled passion for music. Perfect for fans of The Mental Floss History of the United States or Bill Bryson’s Made in America, Beyer’s Greatest Music Stories Never Told is “history like you've never read it before." (The Tennessean)
