Never a Dull Moment: 1971, the Year That Rock Exploded
Categories: Arts & Photography
In Never a Dull Moment (2016), music journalist David Hepworth argues that 1971 was rock's most creative year, when albums by artists including David Bowie, Joni Mitchell and Led Zeppelin reshaped popular music. Moving month by month, he covers the records, concerts and changes in the music business that defined the year, from new technology to the rise of the album as an art form, and asks why so much came together in a single twelve months.
