Raised On Radio with Paul Rees


Listen Later

There's a magic and intrigue about rock music and radio from the mid to late 70's into the 80's. I'm talking Foreigner, Boston, Journey, Genesis and so many more in the genre known as AOR. That stands for Album Oriented Rock. Paul Rees has published an incredible oral history of those years with his new book, "Raised On Radio: Power Ballads, Cocaine and Payola - The AOR Glory Years." I'm a bit of a music (and radio) nerd so I've been loving my experience with this book.
