David Bowie: every single song. Everything you want to know; everything you didnt know. David Bowie remains mysterious and unknowable; despite 45 years of recording and performing. His legacy is roughly 600 songs; which range from psychedelia to glam rock to Philadelphia soul; from avant-garde instrumentals to global pop anthems. Rebel Rebel catalogs Bowies songs from 1964 to 1976; examines them in the order of their composition and recording; and digs into what makes them work. Rebel Rebel is an in-depth look at Bowies early singles and album tracks; unreleased demos; session outtakes and cover songs. The book traces Bowies literary; film and musical influences and the evolution of his songwriting. It also shows how Bowie exploited studio innovations; and the roles of his producers and supporting musicians; especially major collaborators like Brian Eno; Iggy Pop and Mick Ronson. This book places Bowies music in the context of its era. Readers will discover the links between Kubricks 2001 and "Space Oddity"; how A Clockwork Orange inspired "Suffragette City". The pages are a trip through Bowies various lives as a young man in Swinging London; a Tibetan Buddhist; a disillusioned hippie; a rock god; and a Hollywood recluse. With a cast of thousands; including John Lennon; William S. Burroughs; Andy Warhol and Cher.

7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Good varietyBy Susan J. ArnalI didnt have clear expectations of this book. I liked the great variety of pieces; 2D and 3D. And I found inspiration in the pieces and the accompanying text. I could have used more information about the techniques and materials used for some of the work.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
