[ Aquarius Records ] Peter Guralnick. Peter Guralnick (born December 15, 1943, in Boston, Massachusetts) is an American music critic, writer on music, and historian of US American popular music, who is also active as an author and screenwriter. After Guralnick graduated from Boston University in 1971 with a master's degree in creative writing, he began writing books chronicling the history of blues, country, rock and roll and soul. Larry Stark Press published Peter Guralnick's second book in 1967. A first edition is currently valued at $200. In contrast to contemporaries such as Lester Bangs, Ian Penman and Nick Tosches, whose music writings are marked by idiosyncratic, self-referential and highly personal styles, Guralnick's writing is characterized by a colloquial approach that is clean and understated by comparison.

His father was from Enloe, Texas, and his mother was from Pecos County.[5] Norma Belle was a devout Jehovah's Witness. Career[edit] In 1969 Bangs became a freelance writer after reading an ad in Rolling Stone soliciting readers' reviews. Bangs wrote about Janis Joplin's death by drug overdose, "It's not just that this kind of early death has become a fact of life that has become disturbing, but that it's been accepted as a given so quickly At one point he climbed onto the stage while the J. Style[edit] Bangs adopted a radical and critical style of working, apparent in this quote:
