Songs in the Rough:
From Heartbreak Hotel to Higher Love,
Rock's Greatest Songs in Rough-Draft Form

Stephen Bishop has spent three years collecting the original, handwritten rough drafts of more than 70 of the greatest songs of our time. From Heartbreak Hotel (with a note to the original singer) to Save the Last Dance for Me (scribbled on a wedding invitation) to Stayin' Alive (on Robin Gibb's airline ticket) to modern hits made famous by Janet Jackson, the Go-Gos, and Whitney Houston, Songs in the Rough offers a glimpse into popular music at the point of conception.

Filled with collector's items (including five songs by the Beatles, two by Jimi Hendrix, one by Bob Dylan, and a fascinating collaboration between Joni Mitchell and David Crosby), Songs in the Rough is supplemented with interviews by the writers themselves, telling the stories behind the songs and bringing the reader into the creative process.
