From 1969 to 1988, CREEM produced celebrated writers, honored rock gods, and wrote about rock music like no other. The namesake book, CREEM: America's Only Rock 'N' Roll Magazine is the anthology for all the music that mattered in those ear-shattering decades. Jam-packed with selected interviews and photographs, turning the pages of CREEM is like delving into a music encyclopedia of pop culture. Before Bowie, Iggy, and Lou were icons, they were in CREEM. Before MTV’s ‘Cribs: Whips, Rides, & Dubs’ there was CREEM’s “Star’s Cars”. Before he was really famous, Cameron Crowe was typing for CREEM.
Thanks to video games, anyone today can be a Guitar Hero or Rock Band. But we all know, nothing beats the real deal. And thank CREEM for being there to record the stuff that legends are made of. To all the fans, this book's for you.
