With over 1,000 evocative images, including many not previously seen in print, rock historian Paul Grushkin presents an expansive celebration of the unholy marriage of rock & roll and internal combustion. With an appreciation for all genres of popular music, and an understanding of what it means to be an unrepentant gearhead, Grushkin riffs on the associations that dozens of musicians have had with cars for more than a half-century, through their songs and personal lives -- and shows how leading figures from the automotive realm have played a part in popular music for over fifty years. The result is massive and mind-bendingly illustrated, with scores of car-related musical ephemera and imagery from rock's leading photographers, acclaimed photographers from the car world, and today's top rock-poster artists -- including art created exclusively for the book. Big, hardcover, color.
