No one other than Warren Zanes, rocker and writer and friend, could author a book about Tom Petty that is as honest and evocative of Petty's music and the remarkable rock and roll history he and his band helped to write. Born in Gainesville, Florida, with more than a little hillbilly in his blood, Tom Petty was a Southern shit kicker, a kid without a whole lot of promise. Rock and roll made it otherwise.

Gold Dust Woman gives "the gold standard of rock biographers" (the Boston Globe) his ideal topic: Nicks' work and life are equally sexy and interesting, and Davis delves deeply into each, unearthing fresh details from new, intimate interviews and interpreting them to present a rich new portrait of the star. Just as Nicks (and Lindsay Buckingham) gave Fleetwood Mac the "shot of adrenaline" they needed to become real rock stars - according to Christine McVie - Gold Dust Woman is vibrant with stories and with a life lived large and hard.

Bob Dylan's Chronicles: Volume One explores the critical junctions in his life and career. Through Dylan's eyes and open mind, we see Greenwich Village, circa 1961, when he first arrives in Manhattan. Dylan's New York is a magical city of possibilities: smoky, nightlong parties; literary awakenings; transient loves and unbreakable friendships. Elegiac observations are punctuated by jabs of memories, penetrating and tough.

If there’s one trait that makes someone well-suited to comedy, it’s being able to take a punch - metaphorically and, occasionally, physically. Told with a healthy dose of self-deprecation, A Very Punchable Face reveals the brilliant mind behind some of the dumbest sketches on television, and lays bare the heart and humor of a hardworking guy - with a face you can’t help but want to punch.

Since his first performance at the legendary New York nightclub "Catch a Rising Star" as a 21-year-old college student in fall of 1975, Jerry Seinfeld has written his own material and saved everything. "Whenever I came up with a funny bit, whether it happened on a stage, in a conversation, or working it out on my preferred canvas, the big yellow legal pad, I kept it in one of those old school accordion folders," Seinfeld writes. "So I have everything I thought was worth saving from forty-five years of hacking away at this for all I was worth."

Now at last Keith Richards pauses to tell his story in the most anticipated autobiography in decades. And what a story! Listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records in a coldwater flat with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones, building a sound and a band out of music they loved. Finding fame and success as a bad-boy band, only to find themselves challenged by authorities everywhere....

Publisher's Summary
Tom Petty and Me is a new book by Jon Scott, Tom's friend for 40 years. Jon has been credited with "breaking" the career of this iconic rock-and-roller. This book is an inside look of a former deejay turned promotion man, who met Tom when he was about to be dropped by his record label, ABC Records.
Through many serendipitous moments, Jon appeared at the right time to help get Tom's first album played on the radio, and that changed the careers of both men. Tom's first album had been out for eight months when Jon arrived on the scene. The rest is history! At Tom's final concert at The Hollywood Bowl, Tom dedicated "I Won't Back Down" to Jon, as a testament to Jon's help in establishing his career back in 1977.

INCREDIBLE BOOK TOM PETTY AND ME
I read this book when it first came out and loved the intimacy of it. I've read it numerous times.
However listening to Jon Scott read this book on Audible is a whole different experience!
In listening to Jon it's like you are right there with him, I truly experienced laughter, goosebumps and yes even tears. Being able to hear clips Jon has included in the audio book touches your soul and heart strings. The listener will feel the closeness of love and friendship that spanned 40 years from a person closer to Tom Petty than most could ever dream possible. A BIG thank you to Jon Scott for doing the audio book a whole different experience than reading it as I said.
To anyone who hasn't heard it do yourself a favor buy it and listen to Jon speak directly to you in an intimate telling of this amazing book

Well done!
Great audiobook, from beginning to end! It feels genuine and leaves you wanting more. Jon Scott is an excellent narrator and, often, made me feel part of the events he shared. Well done indeed!
