I need some help – My new book on Rock music lacks a title.

537 Essential Rock Albums cover

I am now a few days away from completing the first draft of a new book on Rock Music. This one is very different. I have written it as a novel. The trouble is that I still cannot decide on a title that adequately reflects the nature of the book.

That is where I would appreciate your assistance.

Here is the blurb:

This is the real story of Blues and Rock told through the eyes of the man with no name, the muse, the witness. It’s more real than it was when it happened. You’ll be there with Charley Patton in Mississippi, when Son House was teaching Robert Johnson to play, at the crossroads, with Elvis recording in Sun Studio, Little Richard battling it out with Jerry Lee Lewis, Muddy Waters, Elmore James and Howlin’ Wolf in Chicago, Bob Dylan in Greenwich Village, the Beatles in the Cavern and a thousand more.

This paints all the main events in full colour with background and social context, not as a set of dry facts but as a novel through a series of self-contained vignettes. Liberties have been taken but the spirit is true.

And here are the possible titles I have come up with:

Vignettes of the Blues Rock On Forever – Through The Winds of Time.

 

The Winds of Blues Rock on forever.

 

I am Blues – I am Rock.

 

Times Blows the Blues to Rock.

 

Living the Blues.

 

Blues Muse

Any other suggestions?  Do you like any of these as possible titles?

Thanks in advance – Best wishes Opher

      2. OK – I agree. My only concern is that they focus totally on the Blues where the novel goes right up through Rock to 1980.
        So which of the two is best?
