If ever a rock band reflected the era in which they played, then it must be the Animals to the 1960s. To know their story is to know that decade. And it is no exaggeration to suggest that for part of that thrilling and prolific time in rock history the Animals were, for a little while, nearly as popular as the Beatles.
The Animals: True Rock Royalty traces the original group's humble Newcastle beginnings and meteoric ascent to international fame; the drug and alcohol issues, poor management, and internal conflicts that led to a breakup; Eric Burdon's new band of Animals; and the acrimonious (original) Animals reunion attempts. Personal reflections from the author and others offer compelling insights regarding the band's groundbreaking contributions to rock music in this much-needed fresh appraisal.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Mark Hodermarsky taught English for forty years before his recent retirement. His latest book, The Animals, will be his seventh. Hodermarsky has produced many articles on a variety of subjects, served as a book critic for the (Cleveland) Plain Dealer, and been a copy editor. Good writing, travel, music (especially rock and roll), craft beer, baseball, birding, and discovering new restaurants are primary interests. But it is within the company of friends and family that brings him the most joy. He is married to Lynda with whom he has two adult children and three lovely grandkids.
