Denim and Leather is 260 pages of biker metal hail after hail, with
two four-page photo sections, loads of fresh interview content, all
the facts and dates and even some of the hot disputes. As the back
cover crows... Stand Up and Be Counted! Now that there's no more
Motorhead, it's up to Iron Maiden and Saxon to uphold the fine
tradition of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, something both
bands have been doing for over 40 years now. Indeed, 2020 marked
the 40th anniversary of Saxon's landmark Wheels of Steel album, a
record we celebrate in this book with much reverence and many pints
of ale clinked between headbangers clad in both denim and leather.
Of course there's more than that but not everything! Indeed, Denim
and Leather: Saxon's First Ten Years focuses on the band's golden
era, Saxon's prodigious first decade of output. Saxon, Wheels of
Steel, Strong Arm of the Law, Denim and Leather, Power & the
Glory, Crusader, Innocence Is No Excuse, Rock the Nations and
Destiny each are dedicated stand-alone chapters, inside of which
Popoff deconstructs every song across both sides of the original
vinyl, while not forgetting bonus tracks and B-sides, as well as
the live material along the way, including the beloved The Eagle
Has Landed album. It's a glory-bound Saxon-fest that is long
overdue, and it is the hope of the author that at the end of this
sometimes critical examination that the reader returns to these
records with new reflections on the NWOBHM and some of the
detrimental things that came after for many bands, the heroes of
our story included.
