Reviews
In retrospect the 80's seems to have been 'fun decade' perhaps the last fun decade who knows. Jim has taken his favorite 80's tunes and interviewed the writers responsible for their creation with great success. I love the back stories of these songs and you will too. His passion for these tunes is contagious., I love the back stories of these songs and you will too. Beviglia's passion for these tunes is contagious., If you love the music of the 1980's, you will definitely love "Playing Back The 80s: A Decade Of Unstoppable Hits" by Jim Beviglia. Music journalist Beviglia interviews more than sixty famous artists, producers, session musicians and writers who had a hand in some of the most recognizable ear worms of the 1980's. I enjoyed reading how artists including Sting, Phil Collins, John Lennon, Gary Numan, Journey, Richard Marx and Tom Petty were inspired to record the hits we all know and love to sing along to. As I read the each chapter title, the tunes automatically began stirring memories and playing in my head., A song always has more of a story to tell than what we can glean from listening to it. This book aptly explores the deeper meanings and motivations behind the creation of some of the songs we have come to love. Bravo., Too many interviewers don't bother to do the basic research, but Jim Beviglia is different. He digs deeper and asks more insightful questions. This book is well worth your time. Pick it up., With the focus of an exacting critic and the enthusiasm of a true fan, Beviglia situates the artists and their songs firmly in the foreground. He finds fresh insights into familiar tunes and makes deeper cuts sound like old favorites, which means Playing Back the 80s is an entertaining as well as edifying read."--, Beviglia's illustrative vocabulary, paired with his obvious love and respect for the music, make this book about '80s music "really sing." Get it while it's hot for yourself or a friend. These really are the stories behind that music., A song always has more of a story to tell than what we can glean from listening to it, no matter how many times. This book aptly explores the deeper meanings and motivations behind the creation of some of the songs we have come to love. Bravo., Playing Back the 80s by Jim Beviglia just might be the perfect gift for that hard-to-please music lover on your shopping list. Music journalist Beviglia knows that era well. A thorough researcher, his back stories are especially fascinating., Too many interviewers don't bother to do their research, but Jim Beviglia is different. He digs deeper and asks more insightful questions. This book is well worth your time. Pick it up., Writing about the 1980s, Jim Beviglia doesn't waste time on Rubiks cubes and parachute pants and other trappings of easy nostalgia. Instead, with the focus of an exacting critic and the enthusiasm of a true fan, he situates the artists and their songs firmly in the foreground, whether it's a popular artist like Phil Collins or a relative obscurity like the Korgis. He finds fresh insights into familiar tunes and makes deeper cuts sound like old favorites, which means Playing Back the 80s is an entertaining as well as edifying read., Beviglia brings a critic and fan's perspective to his examination of 65 of the "finest songs" of the 1980s in this impressive selection. He includes classics such as the Police's "Every Breath You Take," one-hit wonders such as Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus," and psychedelic new wave sounds such as the Church's "Under the Milky Way." Beviglia interviewed the songwriter or producer for each song, and their input is fun and insightful. About "Sunglasses at Night," Corey Hart says, "Lyrically, I was trying to capture the cool rebellious spirit à la James Dean." Modern English singer Robbie Grey admits to writing "I Melt With You" "in about three minutes sitting on the floor stoned in my house in Shepard's Bush, London." Andy McCluskey of Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark recalled the inspiration for their song "If You Leave": Pretty in Pink filmmaker John Hughes said to them, "So can you write a song that is... 120 beats per minute?" With only three only pages on each song, the coverage can feel light, but for those looking for a glimpse into what made the music of the '80s a genre that still resonates today, Beviglia has created an excellent time capsule.looking for a glimpse into what made the music of the '80s a genre that still resonates today, Beviglia has created an excellent time capsule.looking for a glimpse into what made the music of the '80s a genre that still resonates today, Beviglia has created an excellent time capsule.looking for a glimpse into what made the music of the '80s a genre that still resonates today, Beviglia has created an excellent time capsule., Beviglia brings a critic and fan's perspective to his examination of 65 of the "finest songs" of the 1980s in this impressive selection.
