The fantastic new book Rock Connections, published just this month, is the only book needed to piece together the story of Rock ‘n’ Roll as it has evolved over the past 50 years.
The story of any great band includes walk-on parts by scores of musicians who left the scene before fame and fortune came calling. All diehard fans love to trace the connections and line-ups of their favourite bands – the unexpected lucky breaks, the name changes and all the missed chances before they hit the big time.
Rock Connections brings you the fascinating histories, behind-the-scenes secrets and encapsulated biographies of the biggest names in music from the last 50 years. From Elvis and the Stones, to the Chilli Peppers and Coldplay, the evolution of the most important acts is traced.
In addition, this must-have book includes additional features such as record labels, producers, clubs and festivals as well as enough entertaining trivia to satisfy even the most hardcore fan.
Written by Bruce MacDonald, a music specialist who co-edited the acclaimed 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, and with photography from the iconic Mick Rock, this book is guaranteed to please.
