Love are one of those acts, a bit like Gram Parsons, who are very hip to namecheck as an influence. Their seminal album, Forever Changes, is often cited by many musicians as one of their favorites (it was #40 in Rolling Stone magazine's Top 500 albums) and the band have an aura of the Californian "Turn on, tune in, drop out" vibe. A hard band to pigeonhole, their music drew on many influences from rock, garage, folk and psychedelia, but they were one of the first racially diverse groups. For such an influential band, surprisingly little has been written about them. This book is a welcome addition therefore, particularly as it is written by the band's official historian, Bruno Ceriotti. Love are still going to this day, though only Johnny Echols is left over from the original line up, but Ceriotti has wisely chosen to focus only up to 1971 when founder and prime move Arthur Lee left. The book is in the handy timeline format with many original pictures and interviews. Ceriotti leaves no stone unturned to tell the Love story from Arthur Lee's birth in Tennessee though to his leaving the band. Echols contributed a foreword, as did Michael Stuart-Ware, the band's original drummer. Whilst not an official biography, Arthur Lee's widow, Diane, has offered encouragement to the author as she is keen to keep her late husband's memory alive. The timing of this book couldn't be better. 2016 is the 50th anniversary of the band's album so interest will be high. In fact, the book will get two bites of the cherry as 2017 is the 50th anniversary of Forever Changes and all things psychedelic are likely to be in vogue with it being 50 years since the summer of love. By the way, the book's title derives from a Love song from their first album, written by Bacharach and David. The former was unimpressed with Love's version! Contains forewords from Johnny Echols and Michael Stuart-Ware, both ex-band members.
