This well-loved copy of “The Rose & 29 Soft Rock Classics” by Dan Coates is a delightful time capsule of the soft rock era. Published in the early 2000s, this book captures the essence of the mellow, introspective sound that dominated the airwaves in the 1970s and 80s. Featuring transcriptions and analysis of iconic hits like “Wildfire” by Michael Martin Murphey and “Sailing” by Christopher Cross, this volume offers a deep dive into the songwriting craft and musicianship that defined the genre. Coates’ insightful commentary provides context on the cultural influences that shaped these timeless tunes, from the singer-songwriter movement to the rise of adult contemporary radio. With its worn cover and secure binding, this copy bears the charming patina of a cherished possession, inviting readers to lose themselves in the nostalgic melodies and heartfelt lyrics that made soft rock a beloved phenomenon.
