Synopsis "Still Competition: The Listener'S Guide to Cheap Trick "

Following the success of his 2016 book Razama-Snaz! The Listener's Guide to Nazareth, Robert Lawson returns with this meticulous reviewing of every Cheap Trick album, song by song. In his book, Still Competition: The Listener's Guide to Cheap Trick, Lawson outlines the band's significant television appearances, live shows, and more with the attention to detail only a super fan could provide. A dedicated follower, Lawson has assembled this reference guide out of a love of music and a dedication to fellow fans, but he is not without criticism (often humourously so) when the rockers fall short of his high expectations. He shines the spotlight indiscriminately, which makes him all the more credible a witness to the band's lengthy career. Lawson also seeks input from some of the world's greatest Cheap Trick and classic rock fans, who share stories from epic live shows. Fellow classic rock devotees will love this manual on Cheap Trick's highs, lows, and everything in between.
