Overview

""Long Live Rock!"" ""Rock Songs"" is a collection of dramatic visual interpretations of songs I've chosen to illustrate from a time when I feel music was at its finest. This book displays fantasy concepts depicting these individual pieces of music throughout the pages. Twenty-four compositions that represent a broad range of incredible music styles from the 70's and 80's genres: progressive, new wave, glam, alternative, soft rock, hard rock and onward. It was a very interesting and innovative era in the music industry during these times: impressive, powerful stage presentations and experimentation in the recording studios with new techniques. The songwriting and lyric content were absolutely astounding, creating rock songs that oozed with amazement and heartfelt significance. So pick up the book, choose an Illustration page, dig into your library of vinyl or CDs and crank it up: then relax and enjoy!
