When you roam through this kick-ass book you can almost hear riffs from legends of rock & roll, country, rap and jazz, all consummate car guys.
There’s something in this terrific tome for every music-loving car guy. Entertainment legends - Arlo Guthrie and AC/DC to Sir Mix-A-Lot and Wayne Henderson - open their garages to share their wheels with readers. Their public passion may be music, but their private passion is cars: Hot rods, customs, muscle cars, motorcycles, racecars, and sports cars.
Even if my pals Tom Cotter and Ken Gross hadn’t written this book, beautifully illustrated by friend, fine art photographer and Team 608 Bonneville Racing Team(mate), Michael Alan Ross, it would still be front & center on my coffee table. And I would still be singing its praises. It is the closest most of us will ever get to a personal garage tour of some of the most iconic musician’s auto and motorcycle collections.
