About the Soul of Rock 'n' Roll
"I don't want to just talk about and promote the music that is popular, mainstream or well known... I want to talk about and promote the music I like whether it is well known or not. A band doesn't have to be #1 right now or ever to be making great music. That's what it's all about, great rock n' roll, blues, folk, even country... If it speaks to me then I write about it. Maybe it will speak to a few other people too..." - D.A.N. Owner/Editor of Soul of Rock n' Roll.
"I haven't been paid of coerced in any way by any of the artists I discuss here to give them a good review. In fact in a way I've paid them by buying their albums. I just love the music and think others will too, that's all..." - D.A.N. Owner/Editor of Soul of Rock n' Roll.

What is the Soul of Rock 'n' Roll?
The Soul of Rock 'n' Roll began as the music section of the Sights & Sounds from the Fifth Column, but after much deliberation I felt it would be best to split that site to better focus it's content. What came about was a site dedicated to my #1 passion: music, specifically rock 'n' roll and blues. That site is the Soul of Rock 'n' Roll
Now the site is designed to discuss rock music, blues and folk, promote the music I like and help unknown artists gain some recognition.
