Rock Soldiers
What happens behind the songs we never stop playing? Kereiff recorded conversations with the artists, producers, label people, and lifers who built the sound of rock, blues, and roots. In Rock Soldiers, those interviews are gathered, edited, and organized by theme, so the reader doesn't just get a stack of Q&As, but a clear view of the patterns that repeat across careers, eras, and genres.
Across eleven chapters, Kereiff digs into where songs really come from, what life on the road demands, how the music business shapes choices, what happens in the studio when the red light comes on, and how artists evolve as they age. He also explores fame and recognition, relationships, a changing industry, and the values that keep people grounded when the spotlight doesn't.
This isn't a scholarly history, and it isn't a tabloid scrapbook. It's the human story of making music for the long haul: the work, the accidents, the pressure, the second chances, and the moments when the truth finally makes it onto tape.
If you want to listen along, you'll find a companion playlist, "The Soundtrack to Rock Soldiers," in the back of the book.
