Welcome to Words On Music. A growing website full of reviews of albums and concerts plus interviews with musicians. The general focus is on the Classic Rock genre but there will be side swipes in other directions.
Some of this material has been used in my books or reviews for Power Play. But much of it is ‘new’ to this site. My latest book, out now, is a complete analysis and commentary on the work of Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio.
