In the heart of Albuquerque, a city brimming with contradictions and unexpected beauty, "Albuquerque Sings the Blues" unfolds a tapestry of interwoven lives and poignant moments. James Scott LaFon masterfully captures the essence of a place where the past collides with the present, and where every soul has a story to tell. Meet Pastor Brown, a man of faith navigating the tumultuous waters of morality in a city often shadowed by sin. Follow Bianca, a dedicated bank employee trying to piece her life back together after a devastating divorce, and her son Taylor, a young man balancing school and the weight of his fragmented family. From the determined loan applicants at the Western Bank to the gritty, resilient construction workers shaping Albuquerque's skyline, each character brings their own blues to this soulful narrative. As these lives intersect, LaFon paints a vivid portrait of Albuquerque–a place where dreams are both shattered and born anew, where love is found in the unlikeliest of places, and where the blues are more than just a genre of music–they are a way of life. "Albuquerque Sings the Blues" is not just a novel; it's an immersive experience into the heart and soul of a city that sings its blues loud and clear. Perfect for readers who love deeply human stories filled with rich, complex characters, this book will resonate long after the last page is turned. Discover the unexpected melodies of Albuquerque–pick up your copy today and let the blues captivate you.

Inside the Music of Brian Wilson is, as author Phillip Lambert writes in the prologue "completely, and intensely, focused on the music of Brian Wilson, on the musical essence of his songs and the aesthetic value of his artistic achievements. It acknowledges the familiar biographical contexts of his songs, but it tells completely new stories about the birth and evolution of his musical ideas, identifying important musical trends in his work, heretofore undisclosed inter-song connections within his music, or between his music and that of others, and the nature and extent of his artistry. It aims not just to identify great songs, but to explain exactly what makes them so." Lambert, a renowned musicologist, brings to this work to life with both his professional expertise and an infectious personal appreciation of the power of pop music. His clear, engaging tone and accessible writing style allows even a musically inexperienced reader to follow him as he traces Wilson's musical evolution, with a particular focus on the years leading up to the writing and recording of Pet Sounds and SMiLE, albums which many consider to be the masterpieces of his oeuvre. Inside the Music of Brian Wilson is the definitive book on Wilson's music and is essential reading for fans of Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys, and great pop music. Includes THREE amazing Appendixes: Appendix 1: Brian Wilson Song Chronology* Appendix 2: Four Freshmen Albums, 1955-1961 Appendix 3: Favorite Songs and Influences Through 1961 *The most complete song chronology ever published.

Over the last 50 years, the ultras have become the most widespread, outspoken and spectacular form of football fandom across the globe. Whilst the ultras phenomenon began in Italy, then spread across Southern Europe into Northern Europe, it is now the dominant style of fandom in North Africa, South East Asia and East Asia and is spreading into North America and Australia. This spectacular style of fandom has been spread through global media, social media and increased travel, where fans can view, engage and interact with a range of fans from across the globe and bring various local dimensions to their fandom. This volume brings together a range of articles about the ultras' style of football fandom. It is designed to be an introduction: a first account of ultras for the uninitiated. What follows are analyses and accounts of ultras in Italy, France, Germany, Poland, Turkey, Israel, North America, Australia, Indonesia and Croatia. Not only does this volume demonstrate the prevalence of the ultras' style of fandom across the globe, it shows how football becomes an important cultural arena to see the intersections of globalization and localism. This book was originally published as a special issue of Sport in Society.
