Artists who have something to say often find that putting it into music is the ideal means of communicating thoughts and feelings to others. And the concept-album form is a logical extension of that storytelling impulse, often writ large. It allows the writer to tackle bigger themes, more involved story lines, more finely textured characters and ideas.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the pages of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, author Bill Kopp explores 30 remarkable concept albums, drawing on new, firsthand interviews with the artists behind their creation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To order the book from Hozac Records and Books, &lt;a href="https://hozacrecords.com/product/pre-order-whats-the-big-idea-30-great-concept-albums-book-by-bill-kopp/"&gt;click here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;To order the book from Amazon, click here.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Music heard in tihs episode:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Third of Never - Rolling Down a Hill &lt;br&gt;Pete Townshend - Outlive The Dinosaur&lt;br&gt;Sykofant - Between Air and Water&lt;br&gt;The Church - Ascendence&lt;br&gt;John Guy Barwick - Coastal Chase&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;Third of Never/Electric Forgiveness founder Jon Dawson talks to author David Menconi, whose new book &lt;em&gt;Oh Didn't They Ramble&lt;/em&gt; details the history of the legendary Rounder Records label.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;As a man of few words, just let me say, Rounder Records made me. . and vicey-versey.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;— George Thorogood, Rounder Records artist&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Long one of my favorite music writers, David Menconi has blessed us with a wonderful yarn about the most unlikely of success stories imaginable. Rounder Records has long been the tiny label that somehow could and did. They were ahead of their times in almost every imaginable way and succeeded by going against every grain and trend. An excellent book and a blast to read.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;— Patterson Hood, writer, performer and co-founder, Drive-By Truckers&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Rounders felt a calling to share what they loved and ended up making history while trying to preserve it. The sheltered sounds of traditional American roots music have gratefully been amplified by Rounder’s passion for sharing the good news. This was their business of music…The story of Rounder Records has been well and fully told in this fine book revealing a mission of the heart.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;— Alison Krauss, Rounder Records artist&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Featuring a forward by Robert Plant, &lt;em&gt;Oh Didn't They Ramble&lt;/em&gt; is available at your favorite independent bookstore.
