The 2019 Martin Popoff 26-page ebook about the making of the 1980 Pat Travers Band album, Crash and Burn.

The last of the summer sun trilogy for this Canuck-moved-to-Florida axe hero, Crash and Burn went further south than the panhandle for its vibes, all the way to Jamaica. Come read why, but also hear the story of slamming bluesy metal hit “Snortin’ Whiskey,” as well as the obscure side two of this enigmatic record. Pat says a bunch of cool inside baseball stuff about these songs, about getting into keyboards too, but then drummer Tommy Aldridge also chimes in. Add in a little bit of Go for What You Know and the imploding aftermath, and it’s a classic hard rock tale that is both cautionary and inspiring in terms of creativity, following one’s muse even if it might be tantamount to commercial suicide.
