Summary

There have been innumerable 'rock star' biographies and music histories before, but there is no book that presents the deepest, innermost thoughts from some of the industry's most legendary musicians on not only how they create, but what drives their creative process. Have you ever wondered how your favourite rock stars get inspired? How they write a song? How an album is put together? What made them choose a life devoted to music?

Written, compiled and narrated by Jenny Boyd, who has lived at the heart of the rock world since the 1960s and experienced many of its most iconic moments, the book contains interviews with each musician to give the listener a compelling and groundbreaking insight into the creative process at the heart of each rock star's musical success. From Eric Clapton to Mick Fleetwood, Joni Mitchell to George Harrison, this is a bible of rock royalty that provides an intimate portrait of their craft.

Icons of Rock is the perfect book for any fan that wants to know more about their favourite musicians and bands - or any budding composer and performer who wants a unique insight into how the world's most legendary rock stars created and delivered their greatest music.

The audiobook includes never-before-heard audio snippets from those very interviews. You will hear from Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Graham Nash, Jacob Collier, Eg White, Sarah Warwick and exclusive content from Mick Fleetwood.

An amazing listen....

....maybe between those who do/did it and those who had no thoughts of doing it are many of us....folks who did try but rather than a lack of drive or focus, had no support and too many life issues to continue our musical path....but here is a journey that allows you to share and think and smile and learn....an amazing piece of work...thanks so much.
