The Vinyl Dialogues

The new book by Mike Morsch features interviews with Rock luminaries such as Hall & Oates Stevie Van Zandt Dave Mason Edgar Winter Joe Vitale The Doobie Brothers Al Stewart and more. The Vinyl Dialogues offers the stories behind 31 of the top albums of the 70s including backstories behind the albums the songs and the artists.****** It was the 1970s: Big hair bell-bottomed pants Elvis sideburns and puka shell necklaces. The drugs the freedom the Me Generation the lime green leisure suits. And then there was the music and how it defined a generation. The birth of Philly soul the Jersey Shore Sound and disco. It's all there in The Vinyl Dialogues as told by the artists who lived and made Rock and Roll history throughout the decade. Throw in a little political intrigue - The Guess Who being asked not to play its biggest hit American Woman at a White House appearance and Brewer and Shipley being called political subversives and making President Nixon's infamous enemies list - and The Vinyl Dialogues offers a first-hand snapshot of a country in transition hung over from the massive cultural changes of the 1960s and ready to dress outrageously and to shake its collective booty. All seen through the eyes recollections and perspectives of the artists who lived it and made all that great music on all those great albums.
