By: Farred, Grant

Wild Harmonies
By: Grimaud, Helene
Published by: Riverhead
A celebrated French pianist's poignant story of her journey from her early days as a student in Paris to her life as the founder of a wolf conservation center in upstate New York. A gifted pianist from a young age, Hélène Grimaud made her first recording at the age of fifteen and won the French equivalent of a Grammy at sixteen. She is a classical music star whose concerts continue to draw sellout crowds all over Europe and North America. But it wasn't until she met her first wolf that she discovered there was something missing in her life. Late one night in 1991, Grimaud encountered a wolf-dog hybrid in Florida and felt an immediate, instinctual connection to the animal—one that the wolf also seemed to share. Determined to do what she could to protect this threatened species, she committed her time and resources to becoming certified to found her own wolf preserve on the grounds of her home in New York State. Today, the master pianist acts as a tireless advocate for wolves, a species she believes has been unfairly demonized throughout history. In turn, the animals have given her a sense of freedom that she has never before experienced, even as an artist. In a beautifully rendered personal story that weaves the tale of a musical prodigy's rise to stardom with one of an animal lover learning to communicate on a level as primal as music, Hélène Grimaud touches, astonishes, and delights with her remarkable insight and passion.

Willie Nelson
By: Patoski, Joe Nick
Published by: Little, Brown and Company
From his first performance at age four, Willie Nelson was driven to make music and live life on his own terms. But though he is a songwriter of exceptional depth - "Crazy" was one of his early classics - Willie only found success after abandoning Nashville and moving to Austin, Texas. Red Headed Stranger made country cool to a new generation of fans. Wanted: The Outlaws became the first country album to sell a million copies. And "On the Road Again" became the anthem for Americans on the move. A craggy-faced, pot-smoking philosopher, Willie Nelson is one of America's great iconoclasts and idols. Now Joe Nick Patoski draws on over 100 interviews with Willie and his family, band, and friends to tell Nelson's story, from humble Depression-era roots, to his musical education in Texas honky-tonks and his flirtations with whiskey, women, and weed; from his triumph with #1 hit "Always On My Mind" to his nearly career-ending battles with debt and the IRS; and his ultimate redemption and ascension to American hero.

Wrecking Crew
By: Albert, John
Published by: Scribner Ebooks
"You never know what's going to save you" -- for John Albert and his friends, after years of hard punk rock living, the savior was baseball. This group of former musicians, failed screenwriters, and wanna-be actors gave up their jockstraps fairly early in life in favor of music, drugs, whores, and all-around lawlessness. That was great for awhile, but many of these individuals found themselves stumbling into their 30s -- broken down, smack-addled, and financially destroyed. Taking some aimless stab at bringing order back into their lives, they started an amateur baseball team and joined a hardball league full of gang members, off-duty cops, and former jocks turned investment bankers. In this memoir of recovery (and relapse), John Albert chronicles his team, the Griffith Park Pirates, from the woeful early days to their emergence as one of the leagues most competitive forces.
