The history of rock & roll is incomplete without The 27s, but somehow rock's greatest story has remained untold—until now.
If you’re reading this you probably know that Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, and Kurt Cobain’s lives were cut short at age 27, but the same fate happened to thirty other musicians. Sure, they weren’t all equally famous, but every one of them pushed rock in new directions, leaving lasting legacies that continue to inspire fans and musicians. Here’s a partial list to consider: Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones, Delta bluesman Robert Johnson, D. Boon of the Minutemen. Mia Zapata of The Gits, crooner Jesse Belvin, Badfinger’s Pete Ham, Chris Bell of Big Star, Gary Thain of Uriah Heep, Alan Wilson of Canned Heat, Freaky Tah of Lost Boyz, Pete de Freitas of Echo & The Bunnymen, Kristin Pfaff of Hole, and Jeremy Ward of The Mars Volta.
The story unfolds over 292 full-color pages packed with illustrations, mind-blowing revelations, eerie coincidences, trivia, interviews, and a myth greater than them all. It’s a story about fame & loneliness, success & defeat, struggle & perseverance, modesty & excess …and life & death.
