For nearly twenty years; the much-beloved music magazine Roctober has featured work by some of the best underground cartoonists; exhaustive examinations of made-up genres such as ldquo;robot rock;rdquo; and an ongoing exploration of everything Sammy Davis Jr. ever sang; said; or did. But the heart of the magazine has always been the lengthy conversations with overlooked or forgotten artists. Flying Saucers Rock rsquo;nrsquo; Roll gathers the most compelling of these interviews. Eccentric; important artistsmdash;including the rockabilly icon Billy Lee Riley; the jazz musician and activist Oscar Brown Jr.; the ldquo;Outlaw Countryrdquo; singer David Allan Coe; and the pioneer rock rsquo;nrsquo; roll group the Treniersmdash;give the most in-depth interviews of their lengthy careers. Obscure musicians; such as the Armenian-language novelty artist Guy Chookoorian and the frustrated interstellar glam act Zolar X; reveal fascinating lives lived at rockrsquo;s margins. Roctoberrsquo;s legendarily dedicated writers convey telling anecdotes in the fervent; captivating prose that has long been appreciated by music enthusiasts. Along with the entertaining interviews; Flying Saucers Rock rsquo;nrsquo; Roll features more than sixty images from the pages of Roctober and ten illustrations created for the book by the underground rock rsquo;nrsquo; roll artist King Merinuk.ContributorsSteve AlbiniBen AustenJake AustenJohn BattlesBoscoKen BurkeMike MalteseKing MerinukKen MottetJonathan PolettiJames Porter"Colonel" Dan SorensonJacqueline Stewart

Review
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. poorly done !By GeetarNot sure what the other person was smoking when reviewing this book. but must be a beginner to Dire Straits. This was very poorly done. In many places. the tabs are incorrect. It looks like the transcriber just did what they thought or liked rather than validate it. I would not have bought this book if I had known how wrong it was. I suppose on a plus note it provides an alternate method. Also. the print it too small.Dont buy the book. There are free tabs on the internet that are closer to the way it was played.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Dire StraitsBy James G.
