Denim and Leather is a 260-page homage to biker metal, featuring two four-page photo sections, extensive interview content, and a wealth of facts and dates. As the back cover proclaims, "Stand Up and Be Counted!" With Motorhead no longer active, it falls upon Iron Maiden and Saxon to carry on the legacy of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, a tradition they have upheld for over 40 years. In 2020, Saxon celebrated the 40th anniversary of their landmark Wheels of Steel album, a record that holds a special place in this book.
Denim and Leather: Saxon's First Ten Years delves into the band's golden era, encompassing their prodigious first decade of output. Each album, including 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, is given dedicated standalone chapters. Within these chapters, author Popoff meticulously deconstructs every song across both sides of the original vinyl, encompassing bonus tracks, B-sides, and live material. This is a celebration of Saxon's glory-bound era, long overdue and intended to inspire new reflections on the NWOBHM and the challenges faced by many bands, including the heroes of our story.
The book offers a critical examination of the band's music, exploring the influences, themes, and artistic growth that characterized their early years. It sheds light on the band's struggles and controversies, providing a balanced perspective on their journey. Whether you are a longtime fan or a newcomer to Saxon's music, Denim and Leather is a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of British heavy metal and the enduring legacy of one of its most iconic bands.
