Moments In Time 2.0 by Tom Locke takes readers on a fun and fascinating trip through three decades of music history, packed with stories about the artists and songs that defined the 60s, 70s, and 80s. The book is made up of bite-sized, two-page anecdotes that challenge you to guess the featured artist or song before revealing the answer. And to make it even better, each story includes a QR code so you can listen to the track as you read. From behind-the-scenes industry secrets to surprising connections between music legends, Locke creates a read that’s as entertaining as it is informative.
Tom Locke has a real talent for making music history exciting and easy to enjoy in this engaging read. Every story feels fresh, turning fun facts into mini-adventures that make you see these songs in a whole new way. It makes a great coffee table read where you can just escape for five minutes at a time into a nostalgic trip. I loved how the book keeps you involved, almost like a music trivia game. The QR codes are a great touch for the digital age as readers are now able to hear the tracks while reading about them (which I certainly did), making it even more immersive. What I enjoyed most is how it reminds you that behind every great song, there’s a story worth telling. Overall, Moments In Time 2.0 is perfect for music lovers who want to relive the classics while learning something new along the way, and I’d definitely recommend it to music lovers anywhere.
