Waiting for the Sun

Strange Days, Weird Scenes & The Sound of Los Angeles
The classic history of the LA music scene in all its glamorous debauchery, from veteran music journalist Barney Hoskyns

With a new foreword by Simon Reynolds

The classic of music reportage, now reissued as part of White Rabbit's Deep Cuts series. Iconic rock historian Barney Hoskyns examines the long and twisted rock 'n' roll history of Los Angeles: a damned paradise of sun and surf, drugs and disease. Ducking and weaving between artists as diverse as The Beach Boys to Buffalo Springfield, Steely Dan to Joni Mitchell, the Doors to the Eagles - and examining the uneasy symbiotic relationship between the movie business and music-making - Waiting for the Sun traces the eclectic sound of the West Coast in all its glamorous and debauched glory.

'Caustic, gossipy and refreshingly idiosyncratic . Unusually lively and provocative' Kirkus
'Hilarious, chilling, thoroughly scabrous . Fascinating' LA Times
