 | Ain't Misbehavin by Ed Kirkeby
This informal narrative of Waller`s life and music-a moving memoir of a musical genius and an outstanding human being-was written by Fats` personal manager, Wallace T. `Ed` Kirkeby. Reviewing Fats` brief but stellar career, Kirkeby reveals a life that was filled with paradoxes and a man who moved with ease from a middle-class church-going home to New York`s speakeasy subculture. The life-of-the-party who improvised at the piano for stag films, Fats would periodically retreat to the organ loft to play Bach and spirituals. AUTHOR: Ed Kirkeby

 | Where Dead Voices Gather by Michael Pietsch, Nick Tosches
In this biography, author Tosches introduces readers to one of the unsung heroes of country music, Emmett Miller. Though he began as a jazz musician, much of Miller's lasting influence was in the world of country music, where everyone from Bob Wills to Jimmie Rodgers cite him among their favorite artists. Because he performed in blackface, Miller fell out of favor as people became more sensitive to the racial stereotypes perpetuated by this kind of performance and, since the 1970s, has remained largely unknown in his own right.
