BARNEY HOSKYNS


Small Town Talk Bob Dylan, The Band, Van Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Friends in the


Wild Years of Woodstock


A socio-cultural history of Woodstock, the town you think you know but whose real story has yet to be told


T hink “woodstock” and the mind turns


to the seminal 1969 festival that crowned a seismic decade of sex, drugs, and rock ’n’


roll. But the actual town of Woodstock, New York, is more than sixty miles from the site where the concert took place and the fabled half a million fans flocked. Long before the landmark music festival usurped the name, Woodstock—the tiny Catskills town where Bob Dylan holed up after his infamous 1966 motorcycle accident—was already a key location in the ’60s rock landscape. Drawing on numerous firsthand interviews


with the remaining key players, Hoskyns has produced an East Coast companion to his best- selling L.A. canyon classic, Hotel California. This is a richly absorbing study of a vital music scene in a revolutionary time and place.


BARNEY HOSKYNS is a music historian, editorial director of the online music-journalism library Rock’s Backpages, and author of Hotel California, Lowside of the Road, and an oral history of Led Zeppelin.
