Synopsis
Learn the true story of the New Barbarians, the all-star band founded by Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood. In 1979, Rolling Stones lead guitarist Ron Wood founded the New Barbarians. The group's all-star lineup included Wood's fellow Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, jazz bassist Stanley Clarke, former Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan, Stones confederate and saxophonist Bobby Keys, and drummer Joseph "Zigaboo" Modeliste from the Meters. The band formed in 1979, toured, and played its final concert in 1980--gone, but not forgotten. Now fans can learn the untold story of this legendary band, recounted through never-before-seen photography and in-depth interviews. The New Barbarians offers an intimate look at the brief history of a band that built a cult following in record time. The band became known for hard-edged music, but it also gained notoriety for events such as the infamous riot at the New Barbarians' first concert in Milwaukee--a riot that broke out when the "special guests" did not appear during the show. This and more wild, rollicking stories are included in The New Barbarians, which features behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the band members as well as dirt about its famous tour, plus background on the widespread influence of its music. Featuring never-before-published photography of the band by Bruce Silberman, who accompanied the New Barbarians on their US tour in 1979, this book is a feast for Stones fans and an essential contribution to rock and roll history.

Newspapers & Magazines
"...a treasure trove of intimate information...and revealing behind-the-scenes-photos." * Guitar Aficionado * "Packed with details of stage designs, offstage and onstage photos and reproductions of tour T-shirts and limousine bills, New Barbarians is surely the last word on one of rock's most oddball superstar tours." * RollingStone.com * "...handsome book does a wonderful job telling the Barbarians' story. It's chock-full of rare live photos, memorabilia, and ephemera, and seemingly done in participation with band members and associates." -- Bob Ruggiero * Houston Press * "...the book explores the Barbarians' inside story in a coffee-table compilation that features stunning photography and artifacts, much of which has never been seen publicly until now." * Twin Cities Geek * "If you are a Stones or Faces fan - hell, any kind of rock 'n' roll fan - you should embrace the glorious mess that was the New Barbarians. The book is a breezy, chronological read of a legendary story whose telling is long overdue. Chapman's book is chock full of live and backstage photographs, memorabilia and stories for the ages..." * All Music Books * this book is a feast for Stones fans and an essential contribution to rock & roll history. * Music Connection * Picked as one of the best titles to buy on a post-holiday gift guide. -- All Music Books * All Music Books * "Book Review: New Book Reminds Us Of The Power Of The New Barbarians" -- JP * JP's Music Blog * "...fantastic...crammed with a slew of great pics...the result is a great chapter in the rock n' roll history book." * Innocent Words *
