Everything Is Everything Tom Wilson and Pop Music in 1966

"In Everything Is Everything,Steve Jones has given the great Zelig-provocateur-enabler of sixties rock the tribute he deserves: eclectic, surprising, and opinionated, in prose of immediacy and brightness, and with the laughter kept in the final mix." -Jonathan Lethem

"In 1966, music was up for grabs. Through close, astute examination of groundbreaking albums recorded that year, Jones reveals the shadow cast by producer Tom Wilson, the unlikely visionary connecting dots, erasing genres, and opening doors at this pivotal moment." -Alan Light, author of Don't Stop: Why We (Still) Love Fleetwood Mac's"Rumours"

"Pop music got on a whole new trip in 1966, and Tom Wilson was the conductor. Jones' fascinating book illuminates this oft-overlooked figure and his crucial involvement with some of the era's most important artists and albums."-Dan Epstein, author of Stars and Strikes: Baseball and America in the Bicentennial Summer of '76

"Two books rolled into one: an exploration of Tom Wilson, understudied maverick and industry mainstay, and of 1966 in pop music via the array of groups he produced. This works because of the intricacy, thoughtfulness, intelligence, and prodigious research that animate these pages."-Eric Lott, author of Black Mirror: The Cultural Contradictions of American Racism

"A kaleidoscopic portrait of a chaotic and creative year in popular music history organized around one of the most neglected and influential producers of the era, Everything is Everything is everything and more." -Loren Glass, author of Carole King's Tapestry

"In Everything is Everything,Jones does something rare in cultural criticism, correcting several prevailing myths about the explosion of creativity in the Sixties and shedding welcome and long-overdue light on producer Tom Wilson." -Jim DeRogatis, author ofLet It Blurt: The Life and Times of Lester Bangs, America's Greatest Rock Critic

"Wow!" -Marshall Crenshaw

"The currents of popular music swirled into each other in 1966-shaped by the soft-spoken and untrammeled producer Tom Wilson. Jones's Everything Is Everything offers an eye-opening and ear-opening tour of these forces at a pivotal experimental moment." -Sean Wilentz, author of360 Sound: The Columbia Records Story
