"Nothing's perfect, but Vermont's not-quite-fourteen miles long Woodstock Railway came as close to fulfilling the American dream of what a shortline railroad should be and do as any other you can name. Working at everything from school bus to circus train to president's funeral special , trains of the Woodstock charged Shallies Hill and flung themselves over Quechee Gulf daily for 58 years - to the tune of $2,000 a mile in dividends during its plushest decade, and never a single passenger fatality in all that time! Edgar T. Mead, Jr., lovingly recounts the saga of this 'princely little railroad' from its birth pangs in stormy town meetings of the 1860s to its demise in the 1930s, when changing patterns of American life pulled its economic base out from under it. To the very end, the Woodstock named as well as numbered its locomotives; grappled with its Shallies Hill, Quechee Gulf, and "dead frogs" engineering problems; and won fame far beyond its diminutive mileage, symobolized by elite patronage of the through car for Woodstock in the consist of north-bound expresses out of Grand Central Station, New York. 'This car for Woodstock' is yours to ride again in the pages of this book. It takes you time traveling back to the era of shortline railroading in full vigor and usefulness, telling the story of one American shortline that was a model for them all."--Book jacket.

Think "Woodstock" and the mind turns to the seminal 1969 festival that crowned a seismic decade of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. But the town of Woodstock, New York, the original planned venue of the concert, is located over 60 miles from the site to which the fabled half a million 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. In Small Town Talk, Barney Hoskyns re-creates Woodstock's community of brilliant dysfunctional musicians, scheming dealers, and opportunistic hippie capitalists drawn to the area by Dylan and his sidekicks from the Band. Central to the book's narrative is the broodingly powerful presence of Albert Grossman, manager of Dylan, the Band, Janis Joplin, Paul Butterfield, and Todd Rundgren-and the Big Daddy of a personal fiefdom in Bearsville that encompassed studios, restaurants, and his own record label. Intertwined in the story are the Woodstock experiences and associations of artists as diverse as Van Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Tim Hardin, Karen Dalton, and Bobby Charles (whose immortal song-portrait of Woodstock gives the book its title). Drawing on numerous first-hand interviews with the remaining key players in the scene-and on the period when he lived there himself in the 1990s-Hoskyns has produced an East Coast companion to his bestselling L.A. canyon classic Hotel California. This is a richly absorbing study of a vital music scene in a revolutionary time and place.
