The Beatles’ creative arc from their first, primitive recordings through Abbey Road and the twilight of their career. Ken Womack's book "Long & Winding Roads: The Evolving Artistry of the Beatles" brings the band’s story vividly to life—from their salad days as a Liverpool Skiffle group and their apprenticeship in the nightclubs and mean streets of Hamburg through their early triumphs at the legendary Cavern Club and the massive onslaught of Beatlemania itself.
