In Classic Rock Stories, classic rockers reveal the sometimes painful, sometimes accidental, and often hilarious process of creating the songs that you can still sing aloud.

You'll never listen to music the same way again! Producer, audio engineer, and author Bobby Owsinski takes you behind-the-scenes of 20 of the most beloved classic rock hits of the 1960s, '70s, and '80s. Using a technique refined after years of listening to songs under the microscope of the studio, each song analysis by Bobby describes exactly how the song was constructed and why it was a hit, examining in detail the song form, the arrangement, the sound, and the production. This is a valuable must-have for everyone who loves music, musicians learning about arrangements, producers wanting to learn how hits are constructed, audio engineers analyzing the sounds of the hits, songwriters looking inside a hit's secrets, and fans who love facts and trivia about their favorite artists. Every song analysis has numerous "listen to" moments pointing out small but significant changes in the arrangement or sound that you might not have noticed before. Plus you'll get all the song facts never found all in one place like release date, songwriters, recording studio information, number of units sold, and chart position. Includes: * All Along the Watchtower (The Jimi Hendrix Experience) * Sunshine of Your Love (Cream) * Gimme Shelter (The Rolling Stones) * Peaches en Regalia (Frank Zappa) * Stairway to Heaven (Led Zeppelin) * Maggie May (Rod Stewart) * Won't Get Fooled Again (The Who) * Rocky Mountain Way (Joe Walsh and Barnstorm) * Dream On (Aerosmith) * Living for the City (Stevie Wonder) * Born to Run (Bruce Springsteen) * More than a Feeling (Boston) * Detroit Rock City (KISS) * Suffragette City (David Bowie) * Hotel California (The Eagles) * Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits) * Refugee (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) * Tom Sawyer (Rush) * Back in Black (AC/DC) * In the Air Tonight (Phil Collins)
Motown native and baby boomer Dave Armstrong (born in 1958) provides a goldmine of information in this homage to classic rock, with massive, fact-filled discographies of songs by Motown artists, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Detroit Rock (1965-1975), Buddy Holly, Sam Cooke, and Van Morrison: including data concerning stereo and mono versions, recording dates, producers, songwriters, Billboard chart positions, best-sounding recordings, and many other facts. Also contains chapters on the topics of rockabilly, a blues and country musical pilgrimage to the South, recent landmark albums by Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson, selected Beatles mono recordings (deemed as superior to their stereo counterparts), a review of Beatles imitation groups, Bob Seger, classic rock artists 60 years or older, and favorite singles and albums from the classic rock era. A distinctly nostalgic tone is evident throughout. Any fan of classic rock (especially residents of Michigan and Detroiters) will love the musical reflections.
