Boys Don't Lie: A History of Shoes (Paperback or Softback)

A detailed biography of the DIY power pop band Shoes. Like Shoes, Boys Don't Lie begins in the quaintly quirky town of Zion, IL, and takes the reader through 40 years of this idiosyncratic trio's history, from their fantasy beginnings to their triumphant return, 2012's Ignition. Along the way, their story is placed in the context of changes in the business and technology of music. 474 pp. Photos.
