  • Relive the excessive days of classic rock excess with photographer Ethan Russell's "Let It Bleed: The Rolling Stones 1969 U.S. Tour." Russell was onboard the Stones tour that crisscrossed the United States and ended up in front of the 400,000 mixed-up souls at Altamont Speedway. "Let It Bleed" is a 420-page limited edition of 2600 signed and numbered copies that cost $650 (plus shipping). Deluxe copies, 750 of them at $950 each (plus shipping), are wrapped in red Japanese t-saifu fabric, befitting rock indulgence.

  • Let blues guitarist Buddy Guy take you by the ears and lead you through the "The History of Chicago Blues," via this free podcast. You can enjoy Guy's tour through the personalities, recordings, and nightclubs that define Chicago blues, either virtually or in the field.
