ASTRAL WORKS: RYAN H. WALSH HUNTS DOWN OLD BOSSTOWN SOUND IN KICKASS MASS ROCK THROWBACK

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted March 6, 2018 Filed Under: A+E, Books, FEATURES, Non-fiction

he resulting new book, Astral Weeks: A Secret History of 1968, goes leagues beyond extended album review fanboy territory and illustrates in full kaleidoscopic fashion a post-folk avant-garde rock scene that was expressly centered around the Greater Boston region, but which resonated far and wide for decades after.
