THE MASTERS: CURATED AUDIO EXCERPTS Historic Recordings with Lennon, Jagger, Townshend, Garcia, Bono, and Springsteen

The cofounder of ROLLING STONE magazine, Jann Wenner, has released these original recordings of his interviews with superstar artists Bruce Springsteen, John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Jerry Garcia, and Pete Townsend. The audiobook is a mixed bag, hampered at times by decades-old recordings. The interviews range from amazing statements by John Lennon to indecipherable recordings of Jerry Garcia. The latter are so poor that they're impossible to understand. The others offer some fascinating insights into the artists, though eating noises and other background interference can be a little hard to take. Yoko Ono's talking over Lennon's portion mars the best interview of the sessions. M.S. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2024]
