Small town talk : Bob Dylan, The Band, Van Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix & friends in the wild years of Woodstock

Think 'Woodstock' and the mind turns to the seminal 1969 festival. But Woodstock itself was over 60 miles away, and already a key location in the rock landscape as a community of brilliant, dysfunctional musicians, opportunistic hippie capitalists, scheming dealers and freaks dazed and confused by the search for spiritual truth. Central to this was the power and presence of Albert Grossman - manager for Dylan, Janis Joplin, Richie Havens, The Band and Todd Rundgren - who turned Woodstock into his own personal fiefdom. Drawing on first-hand interviews with all the remaining key players, Small Town Talk is a classic study of a vital music scene in a revolutionary time and place.
