Amazon recently released their “100 Best Books of 2014” and, sadly, not a single music-related book, biography or memoir was on that list. And it wasn’t for lack of choices – trust us: 2014 has offered up a bounty of unique and fantastic reads for the music lover.
Here are 10 (in no particular order) that we think could have — and should have — made Amazon’s cut.

5. Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys: A Memoir by Viv Albertine
6. I'll Take You There: Mavis Staples, the Staple Singers, and the March up Freedom's Highway
