Bill Kopp reads from his new book about Concept albums! Plus the music!

by

Professors JD and Ted welcome Asheville author and music journalist Bill Kopp back to the studio for a live interview and readings from his new book, “What’s The Big Idea, 30 great concept albums”! You will also hear a track from the progressive rock records in the book… Tune in Thursday, October 23, from 1-3 PM, and archived after. Bill says, “As long as there has been music, the form has been used as a vehicle for storytelling. And the concept-album form is a logical extension of that storytelling impulse. It allows the writer to tackle bigger themes, more involved story lines, finely textured characters, and explore their thoughts and feelings. Covering 30 remarkable concept albums released between 1967 and 2024, with interviews, WHAT’S THE BIG IDEA includes plenty of progressive rock, but also ropes in pop, new wave, indie rock, hip hop and even comedy.”

Check out, MUSOSCRIBE for past books, interviews and events by Asheville’s music historian, Bill Kopp!
