Kiran's brought in a rock-infused number this week. Vinyl. Album. Cover. Art: The Complete Hipgnosis Catalogue is exactly what the title suggests: a full feature of design collective Hipgnosis, showcasing groundbreaking cover art created for iconic rock 'n' roll giants including Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd to name a few.
Today we've got a review of one of Kiran's personal top picks, Country: The Twisted Roots Of Rock 'n' Roll by Nick Tosches. A book with all sorts of stories of honky-tonk hell and rockabilly heaven; medieval myth and musical miscegenation; sex, drugs, and even murder. If this sounds like a bit of you, then grab yourself a copy and get stuck in.
