A conversation framed by a solo album

Published on 14 October, Classic Rock’s conversation with Roger Taylor ranges from his seventh solo album to the long career that began with Queen. He reflects on songwriting, recording and the people he has worked with along the way.

Taylor’s solo work sits alongside his years in Queen, giving the interview a view of both sides of his musical life. It is a chance to hear him talk about the work and relationships behind that history. The conversation also follows his work outside the band.

Between Queen and solo work

The interview also touches on Queen’s history, the music business, friendships and the changing nature of a life in music. Rather than focusing only on the new record, it follows the connections between Taylor’s band years and his continuing solo career.

For Queen listeners, the appeal is hearing the band’s history and Taylor’s solo records discussed in one continuous conversation. The interview is published by Louder’s Classic Rock.
