Dion's 2008 Heroes CD and bonus DVD capture vibrant, personal reflections of early Rock 'N' Roll and the guitar greats that have influenced generations. Hand-selected by Dion, the songs of Heroes include 15 early rock classics. All of the artists he pays tribute to have been included into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: Elvis Presley, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Ritchie Valens, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley and the Everly Brothers. The DVD features Dion's vivid, compelling stories of the early days of Rock 'N' Roll, giving a history lesson of the most exciting kind, bringing new life to the work of a great guitar innovators who continue to inspire others.

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of his first hit single, Dion felt compelled to tell the story of these musicians beyond just the notes on a page or the licks in a familiar tune. The bonus DVD reveals his deeply personal mission and lets music history come alive with his dynamic narratives of time spent with and in awe of each of the 15 guitarists.

"Most of the songs on this CD I heard firsthand night after night and sometimes five times a day at the Brooklyn Paramount or the Apollo Theater," reflects Dion. "I toured the Midwest for two weeks with Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens - we jammed in the back of the bus for hours on end. These guys were not only great singers and writers - above all they were great guitar players." A masterful storyteller, Dion's memories of these heroes and songs fill the 45-minute DVD.
