LOU REED: Transformed (The Interview)
BRIAN WILSON: God’s Messenger
With his wondrous songs extolling the simple joys of sun, sand, surf-and more introspective fare examining the psychic heartbreak of life-Brian Wilson is recognized as one of the most important songwriters of the last century.
LES PAUL: Still Changing Songs
Guitar legend Les Paul is onstage at Manhattan’s Iridium Club, where he has been its star attraction every Monday evening for the past 13 years.
MAC DAVIS: Hook, Line and Sinker
Had he only penned Elvis Presley’s No. 1 smash, “In The Ghetto,” Lubbock, Texas, native Mac Davis’s place in the annals of important songwriters would be assured.
