George Jones is many things to many people. He is the finest, most nuanced, and most melodic singer to ever sing country music.he is a country legend, a hall of famed, and an inspiration for all country singers. But most of all, he is a survivor. He has survived numerous divorces, a severe drinking problem, and yet even in the first decade of the twenty first century ( his sixth decade in the recording business) he is still enjoying chart hits. His voice is as legendary as he is. Frank Sinatra, never one to bestow compliments lightly,declared that George Jones was "the second best male singer in America" without a doubt he is one of the greatest and most influential American singers of all time.( he was also my grandad's favorite singer)

A Book Of Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin. Arguably the greatest band of all time. In my opinion, anyway, hence 'arguably'. They hold the record for the highest number of records sold worldwide (200 million) and also the largest crowd at a concert for a single act (over 56,000). See, I know my facts. But forget that. Forget whatever you've heard about them, forget drugs, groupies, whatever, forget everything except the music. The music is what it was all for. And the music speaks for itself. This book is basically just all I've got to say about them really. Facts, lists, preferences, discussions, pictures, quotes, whatever. If that interests you, then great. Read it. * Highest rating #133 in non-fiction.Complete

Jacob's Ladder: Gabe
As the lead songwriter for Jacob's Ladder, the last thing Gabe Renard needs is a debilitating case of writer's block. After years of meaningless one night stands, he's finding it hard to pen the love-filled ballads the label is requesting. In an effort to clear his mind, Gabe takes his jeep off-roading in the North Georgia Mountains. When a wrong-turn leads to him getting stuck more than just creatively, he's forced to call for help. To his surprise, the "Ray" who has been sent by Hart Wreckers to his aid is actually "Rae"-a sexy-as-hell spitfire in a pair of tight-as-hell jeans. The combination of Rae's sassy mouth and rocking body might be the inspiration Gabe needs. But for the first time since becoming a rock star, his advances have been shot down. Reagan Hart has never been a fan of musicians. In fact, just the mention of one might cause her to throw a tire tool. Her disgust for them started when she was just eight and her mother ran off with a traveling country singer, and it only worsened when at seventeen, her rocker boyfriend knocked her up before blowing out of town. As a single mother taking care of her family's collision business, Rae doesn't have time for hook ups, much less a relationship. And if she did make time, a musician would be last on her list, even one as good-looking as Gabe Renard. Can Gabe find the words to prove not only to Rae, but himself, that she's the only one for him?Complete
