Suburban Songbook is a different view of Australian rock history. Rather than going in search of a Sound, it seeks out the Songs and their writers to find a fresh take on this old story; rather than looking for the gigs of our lives or unpacking record companies, it describes the development of the largest if most elusive leap Australian music took, from the dominant cover-version culture of the 50s to the coming of age in the early 70s when an original vernacular voice rose to the top. Author Clinton Walker, whose books like Inner City Sound, Highway to Hell and Buried Country have proven him long ahead of the pack, has done it again! Drawing on forty years in the game, he plots a narrative course that will please the trainspotters and casual reader/music-lover alike. Knitted into a background of tumultuous social change, Suburban Songbook gets behind and inside the songs that helped shape the sound, paying overdue credit to the often-obscure pioneers, sometimes even female or Aboriginal, who toiled to set the stage for the full maturation of Australian music that followed Countdown into the 80s' golden age of pub rock. The great writers born of that era are legion and well-celebrated enough; this book acknowledges their forebears, reconstructing the foundations without which the towering edifice of Australian rock would have been so much slower to rise, and much less rich.

Melbourne, 1971: radical counterculture, hippies, opposition to the Vietnam War and consumerism. The birth of Oz blues rock. Influenced by American blues after Robert Johnson, parallel to developments with Paul Butterfield, the Bluesbreakers and Canned Heat, Chain's music also developed in distinct ways, taking on a style later referred to as Oz blues, or Oz indigo. The emergence of prog rock and the consolidation of blues rock globally made for interesting times. Rock shifted beyond the basics, in the direction of new musical forms and prefigurative politics. In this moment, Chain, four regional white boys with jazz cred and blues licks, recorded the classic Oz blues single Black and Blue and its bedrock LP, Toward the Blues. 50 years later, it remains a monument in Australian rock history. Based on interviews with guitarist and singer Phil Manning, scholarly research and memoirs, this book tells the story of the album's creation and its cultural impact on the Melbourne music scene in a time of significant social change, seeking to capture the magic of that moment.

Clinton Walker's biography of Bon Scott is the definitive account of the life of the iconic rocker, tracing his musical apprenticeship in bubblegum pop band the Valentines and blues-rockers Fraternity through to joining up with Angus and Malcolm Young in AC/DC, where his racy lyrics, unique vocal style, and sheer charisma helped define a new, highly influential brand of rock and roll. Drawing on many first-person interviews and featuring a gallery of rare images, Clinton Walker traces AC/DC's career through the life of their original front man, from the Scottish roots he shared with the Youngs to small-time gigs to recording studios and international success, right up to Scott's shocking death in 1980, just as the band were getting the worldwide recognition they'd worked for so tirelessly. Wild speculation about how Scott died has surfaced periodically in the intervening years and flared up again recently. For this edition, Clinton Walker re-examines the evidence surrounding Scott’s death, investigates these recurring claims, and concludes that such conspiracy theories have no basis in fact. The result underlines Highway to Hell’s status as the authoritative version of the life—and untimely death—of one of rock’s greatest characters.
