Produktbeschreibung

A tribute "with enough insight into every phase of the Thin White Duke's career to send even the most devoted superfans into moonage daydreams of their own" (Creative Loafing: Tampa Bay). David Bowie released an incredible twenty-seven studio albums, beginning with his eponymous 1967 debut and ending with Blackstar, released just two days before his untimely death in January 2016. Widely regarded as one of the most influential musicians and performers of the previous five decades, Bowie demolished what were thought to be the limitations of stagecraft in rock music, as well as proving it possible for an artist to constantly-and successfully-redefine himself. As a result, Bowie has been credited with inspiring genres as disparate as glam and punk rock. This sharply written and gorgeously designed retrospective follows Bowie's career from the folkie baroque rock of his debut, to his breakthrough single "Space Oddity," and on to his flamboyant glam rock alter ego,Ziggy Stardust. Author Pat Gilbert continues through Bowie's soul phase, his electronic Berlin trilogy, his massive pop success in the 1980s, and his turn to electronica in the 1990s, as well as subsequent tours, notable performances, collaborations, and accolades. Nearly every page is illustrated withstunning concert and candid offstage photography, including gig posters, seven-inch picture sleeves, concert ticket stubs, and more. The result isa fitting tribute to one of the most influential and admired stars in rock history. "A labor of love... For those looking for an excuse to live in Bowie's world for just a small amount of time, there is little doubt to this book's appeal." -Spectrum Culture
