G. Brown's '95 On Record Vol. 6 Out Now

Marking more than 50 years as one of America’s foremost popular music writers, G. Brown has interviewed well over 3,000 musicians in every genre, from superstars including Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and Kurt Cobain to scores of one-hit wonders, all of whom recounted their escapades and reminisced about what their time on the charts meant to them personally and musically. Over the decades, Brown also amassed an archive of close to 15,000 rare promotional photos.

Each volume of the On Record series presents nearly 200 archival images and 100 interviews with an array of performers, from the late Jerry Garcia and Dave Matthews to Bono and Mick Jagger. Beautifully crafted, these books belong in the library of every music fan and music institute. Proceeds from book sales benefit Colorado Music Experience, a non-profit cultural and educational organization dedicated to preserving musical legacies.

“In his On Record series, G. Brown makes stories of recorded music come alive by digging into the experiences of the artists—and through his writing, he reveals their humanity. What a gift these books are to music lovers,” says Jesse Collin Young, singer, songwriter and founding member of the Youngbloods.

“Vol. 6 – 1995” mines the explosion of alternative rock, ranging from big names (Alanis Morissette, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers) to up-and-comers (Radiohead, the Flaming Lips, Oasis), in addition to the year’s top pop, classic rock, R&B, country, jazz and new age releases.
