"In Let Me Take You Down: Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever, Jonathan Cott recounts the conception and creation of these two songs and describes the tumultuous events that led the Beatles to call it quits as a touring band and redefine themselves solely as recording artists. Cott also engages in conversation with Laurie Anderson, Bill Frisell, Richard Gere, Margaret Klenck, and Jonathan F. P. Rose, shining new light on two of the most acclaimed songs in rock and roll history."--
