Beskrivning

Raw Power by Iggy and the Stooges is arguably the most aggressive, dynamic album in rock history, and inarguably one of the most influential. Looking past the myths and into the true story of the Stooges, Michael S. Begnal illuminates the creation of this recording in the context of the cultural zeitgeist of the early 1970s, the American War in Vietnam and the ways in which punk rock came snarling into existence. Death Trip uncovers lost archives and stories, drawing on new interviews with Stooges guitarist James Williamson and pianist Scott Thurston, and sheds fresh light on the band’s creative process. This is an in-depth, definitive account that will challenge the assumptions of even the most knowledgeable Stooges fan.

"With scholarship rather than machismo, intelligence rather than bluster, Michael S. Begnal gets to the heart of the Stooges’ lortuous and lonely road to Raw Power: one of the greatest albums ever made." - Jon Savage, author of England’s Dreaming: Sex Pistols and Punk Rock"A kaleidoscopic study that criss-crosses and brilliantly illuminates the Stooges’ second act. Michael S. Begnal brings together the methodology of a scholar with the enthusiasm and knowledge of a life-long fan. Death Trip will enthral, inform and entertain die-hard and casual devotees alike as it elucidates, through the story of Raw Power, the lost history of punk before the Ramones and the Sex Pistols." - Peter Stanfield, author of The Yardbirds
