1971 Never A Dull Moment by David Hepworth

Rock's Golden Year

A vivid, panoramic portrait of 1971 as a pivotal year in popular music, tracing how an astonishing run of albums and cultural shifts transformed the industry and listeners’ expectations; it blends cultural context, backstage anecdotes and critical listening to show how folk, soul, rock and emerging singer‑songwriters coexisted and collided, how album culture deepened, and how the politics and mood of the era shaped — and were shaped by — the music that still reverberates today.
