The On Record series presents rare archival images and insightful interviews by long-time popular-music journalist and radio personality G. Brown.“G. Brown’s writing is informed, perceptive and incisive, often tinged with his hilariously irreverent sense of humor. He has an abiding respect for music and those who create it. All of these attributes reveal themselves in his On Record collections.” – Bruce Hornsby, Grammy-winning singer, songwriter and virtuoso pianistOn Record Vol. 10 – 1983 covers bands at their commercial peak (Genesis, the Police), U2’s first international hit (“War”) and David Bowie’s biggest success (“Let’s Dance”).

The On Record series presents rare archival images and insightful interviews by long-time popular-music journalist and radio personality G. Brown. “It’s always nice when the person interviewing me knows more about music than I do. Every time I’ve spoken to G. Brown over the decades, he has impressed me with his knowledge and, more importantly perhaps, his humor. I enjoy people who make me laugh, and G. does that constantly. Read his On Record books and enjoy his perspective." –Graham Nash, two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducteeOn Record Vol. 9 –1992 of the comprehensive On Record book series witnesses the rise of the grunge movement and the release of Nirvana’s Nevermind along with the continued emergence of hip-hop.

"In 1906, Denver's Pietro Satriano and his 25-piece brass band became the first musical act to perform at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, then christened the Garden of the Titans. Over a century later, Denver is a must-stop for every nationally touring act, and Red Rocks, set deep into the towering red rocks of Morrison, Colorado, is heralded as America's most important outdoor music venue. From the Grateful Dead to Willie Nelson, every star in the musical galaxy has aspired to play on this special and magical stage. Red Rocks: The Concert Years presents a comprehensive history of what came to be considered one of the Natural Wonders of the World, thanks to the combination of natural aesthetics and acoustics, as impressive to the eyes as to the ears."--Provided by publisher.
