Author Talk: Stephen T. Lewis, author of "Richard Manuel His Life and Music from the Hawks to Bob Dylan and The Band" In-Person

For the first time—in an official biography endorsed by his family—the Band's legendary Richard Manuel’s compositions and performances are analyzed with expert commentary while shining a light on his contributions to all of his bands—and on the undeniable impact he had on rock music.
Richard Manuel was a fearless original. Sweetly soulful as a vocalist and endearingly creative as a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, he was a vital part of some of rock ’n’ roll’s pivotal moments, including Bob Dylan’s controversial move to electric music, Woodstock 1969, and the legendary Last Waltz.Through thoughtful research and analysis, this book places Manuel’s troubled yet inspired spirit within a musical and historical context…alongside new interviews with family, friends, and fellow musicians, including Eric Clapton and Van Morrison.  No registration required
