Soul and Inspiration: Dawn Eden Goldstein Pens Memoir "Sunday Will Never Be the Same"
The world of rock and roll has seen many amazing journeys, but few like Dawn Eden Goldstein's. Using the pen name of Dawn Eden, Goldstein carved out a niche in the 1990s as a rock historian. As the concept of the deluxe CD reissue took hold, she contributed essential liner notes to albums by artists including Harry Nilsson, The Hollies, and The Seekers, and wrote for publications such as Billboard and The Village Voice. But Goldstein was a seeker herself. Born into a Jewish family, she found

You Can Do Magic: America's Capitol Years Collected on New Box Set
After seven albums in as many years, Dan Peek departed America, leaving Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell to carry on in the band the trio formed. The first release from the new duo line-up was 1977's Live, but it also marked the end of an era as America's final album on Warner Bros. Records. Following that LP, Beckley and Bunnell briefly retreated from the studio; the pair didn't return with a new studio album for almost two years. When they did, it was at a new label: Hollywood's venerable
