From Booklist
This past March, following a low-profile decade out of the spotlight, David Bowie reemerged with his first new album since 2003. The Next Day became his first release to debut in the Billboard top five since the 1983 pop juggernaut Let’s Dance. His twenty-sixth studio album generated a level of excitement that only a rock icon as eternally cool as Bowie could command, even at the demographically challenging age of 66. Since his self-titled debut in 1967, the man who fell to Earth and rose to international superstardom on the strength of his chameleon-like ability to reinvent himself—via compelling alter egos like Ziggy Stardust and the Thin White Duke—has never failed to make a profound (or at times perplexing) artistic statement, influencing generations of performers (including U2, Madonna, Nine Inch Nails, and Lady Gaga). In this elegant and comprehensive coffee-table book, Hewitt unveils the storied history behind each of Bowie’s eclectic albums, along with insider quotes, personal anecdotes, and stunning photographs. This is a must-read title for music-history fans and Bowie collectors. --Chris Keech
