David and I stopped in to look around at Books A Million one day when I was looking for a Birthday present for my best friend Debbie. While in the store I found Queen All The Songs: The story Behind Every Track by Benoît Clerc (Author) which would be the perfect Gift for Debbie. She is a avid Queen fan and obsessed with Freddie Mercury but I didn’t get the book because I wasn’t sure if she had it or not.
As I was preparing Charlie’s Homeschool Lessons this evening I thought about Queen and how we should study them this year. The more I think about it the more I need to go back and pick up a copy of the book and as were working through Charlie’s Lessons I can share parts of the book with Debbie which will tell me if she has a copy or not.
Filled with fascinating photographs and juicy behind-the-scenes details, Queen All the Songs illuminates the unique recording history of a mega-bestselling and hugely influential rock band—album-by-album and track-by-track.
A lovingly thorough dissection of every album and every song ever released by the beloved rock group, Queen All the Songs follows Freddie, Brian, Roger, and John from their self-titled debut album in 1973 through the untimely passing of Freddie, all the way up to their latest releases and the Oscar-winning film, Bohemian Rhapsody. The writing and recording process of each track is discussed and analyzed by author Benoît Clerc, and page-after-page features captivating and sometimes rarely seen images of the band.
Queen All the Songs delves deep into the history and origins of the band and their music. This one-of-a-kind book draws upon decades of research and is a must-have for any true fan of classic rock.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
