SMALL TOWN TALK ~

DaCapo Press, 2016

Along with Joe Boyd's White Bicycles

Hoskyns Small Town Talk

is one of the few enthralling books

on the subject of 60s popular music
from a small town like no other

and its cast of characters.

Hoskyns hits his stride from one

legendary pivot to the other: Albert Grossman,

Bob Dylan, The Band, Janis Joplin, various music

studios, producers, hometown local folkies

at the time Maria Muldaur, Jim Rooney, John Herald,

the drifters in and out like Jesse Winchester, Karen Dalton and Paul Butterfield

plus the diehard comments when needed by Ed Sanders.

You want a book that comes in and takes off its coat,

kicks off its boots, rolls up its sleeves and knows how to visit.

Here's the book.
