A good read, but could have been a lot better By Archiver This is much better than Southall’s “From Me to You,” and Hollies fans will find a worthwhile read, but:1. The book lacks any insight into, or appreciation for, the Hollies’ music. Southall may well be a fan of the group, but reading this book, you’d never know it. It reads like a dry textbook.2. Lack of input from most group members causes Eric Haydock (who was booted from the band in 1966) to be very over-represented here. And was it really necessary to leave in his numerous expletives? He probably said them in talking to Southall, but they could have been edited out without diminishing the content.3. The book barely touches on album tracks and the evolution (no pun intended) of the Hollies’ music. It also omits some key points in the group’s history, such as the complete omission of the “Take My Love and Run” single. Details about the group’s later years are sparse, and Southall’s comments about the Hall of Fame induction ceremony are at best confusing and will mean little to those who did not see it.4. While the editing errors here are fewer than those in “From Me to You,” one wonders if anyone actually reads this material before it’s published. Possessives are largely and annoyingly missing, and there are numerous typos (one amusing one: “dong” instead of “doing”) and missing words. Southall gets the title of their first single wrong repeatedly, too. It was “(Ain’t That) Just Like Me,” not “(Ain’t) That Just Like Me.”The book would have benefitted from a co-writer who knows more about the Hollies and their music, as well as from an editor with some knowledge of grammar, but it does have its merits.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Good Introduction to the Hollies but NOT a definitive biography. By Christopher L. Dolmetsch Good but not as thorough as one would expect in a musical biography today! Many important developments in the earliest history of the Hollies are either omitted or simply glossed over. Also it would have been helpful to have a little more analysis of each album in the progression of the band. The first two albums were very much the product of "what we sing on stage" which was overwhelmingly covers of familiar r&b songs. The third LP marked the first true progression for the band into two styles: folk as rock (e.g. "Very Last Day") and strong self-composed songs that transcended simple pop. While hit singles, often composed by others, were the bread-and-butter of the Hollies for more than three years, they stretched in the EP and album fields into ever more complex and distinctive musical formats Banjos, folk, changeable tempos, all became hallmarks of the Hollies. I miss a lot of explanation into the motivation and design in the narrative here. This book is *a good introduction* into the Hollies story but it is by no means *the definitive* story of one of British rock's most remarkable bands.

Interesting by lines on the interactions with the Stones, Searches, Beatles and Elton John just to name a few.Found to be amusing was there distaste for the Dave Clarke Five.The group was well managed and had a great relation with producers, studios,and writers of there music.If your not a big Hollies fan still a enjoyable read.
