The Autobiography of Donovan by Donovan Leitch
Call Number: ML420.D666 A3 2007

The quintessential flower-child musician begins his memoirs in the Scots of Glasgow, where he was born in 1946. Anecdotal and name-dropping, he also discusses the British rock invasion of America, folk-rock, his first LSD trip, his drug bust in London, and a visit from a Paul McCartney armed with tunes that would eventually be "Eleanor Rigby" and "Yellow Submarine." June Sawyers
We All Want to Change the World by Tom Waldman
Call Number: ML3918.R63 W24 2003

We All Want to Change the World provides a cogent evaluation of post-World War II American commercial music and its complex, multi-faceted impact on the world of politics. Donovan Leitch provides the foreword.

Call Number: ML44.C54 R63 2013

Profiles Hall of Fame inductees, and discusses the development of music scenes and genres in this companion to the awards ceremony.
