Beskrivning
"... A title worth owning; to paraphrase that old motto on the back cover of the most Martian album of all… to be read at maximum volume." — SentireAscoltare"For Bowie devotees, Music Lover offers fresh corners of a familiar story. For newcomers, it provides a thrilling playlist and a set of directions. Above all, it captures Bowie not as a solitary genius but as an endlessly alert listener—one whose greatest creative act may have been to remain permanently open to surprise." - God is in the TVDavid Bowie was the original influencer. For five decades, his songs helped shape the landscape of popular music. But what did he listen to? Which artists, songs and albums did Bowie tune in to throughout his life?This book, the first of its kind, reveals more than 100 artists that made it onto Bowie’s turntable.David Bowie: Music Lover is a compelling mix of personal insight and expert commentary, jointly written by Bowie’s lifelong friend, collaborator and listening companion, Geoff MacCormack, and Jérôme Soligny, author of the seminal Rainbowman, who knew Bowie for 25 years.From Classical to Britpop, Electronica to Delta Blues, the book explores Bowie’s eclectic playlist, redolent of the decades he lived through but also of his deep interest in all genres and eras of music. It’s a story that begins with Little Richard on Bowie’s childhood Dansette record player, and ends with Kendrick Lamar, a go-to listen during the recording of Blackstar, released just two days before he died.An indispensable guide for Bowie fans and all Music Lovers.

Mer om författaren

Geoff MacCormack was David Bowie’s lifelong friend. They grew up together, sharing an interest in music that continued throughout their lives. Geoff joined Bowie’s 1973 world tour as an additional back-up vocalist and percussionist, and later as a ‘Diamond Dog’ in '74 and what would be known as ‘The Young Americans Soul Tour’. He also worked with Bowie on the six albums from Aladdin Sane to Station to Station. David Bowie: Music Lover is Geoff’s second book with ACC, following on from David Bowie: Rock ’n’ Roll with Me (2023). Jérôme Soligny is a musician, writer and journalist who interviewed David Bowie on numerous occasions over a 25-year period. He is the author of Rainbowman (Monoray, 2023), widely acclaimed for its rigorous research into Bowie the musician. In 2019, Jérôme was awarded the Chevalier des Arts et Lettres by Tony Visconti.

Recensioner i media

"The circular cutout on the cover of Music Lover – The Inside Story Of David Bowie's Record Collection is an unusual graphic strategy that, like a temporal stargate, projects us into a beautiful snapshot of David Bowie intent on playing a Supro Dual Tone, sitting inside Cherokee Studios in Hollywood, Los Angeles, in the now distant 1975 during the Station To Station sessions.""With the right attitude and an equal dose of curiosity, Music Lover can become a lush read, arguably superior to that of David Bowie's Bookclub , which hovered more freely over the interpretations and was less tangential to the musical aspect.""If MacCormack reports precious details from a biographical point of view, guaranteeing especially on youth listening (but not only) , the philological aspect and other more recent titles are provided by the music journalist Jérôme Soligny (constant pen on the prestigious French magazine Rock & Folk), who interviewed Bowie on several occasions for at least twenty years, earning his esteem, friendship and respect, as well as entertaining him with a good dose of audio files". - SentireAscoltare
