“… A title worth owning; to paraphrase that old motto on the back cover of the most Martian album of all\u2026 to be read at maximum volume.” \u2014 <\/em>SentireAscoltare<\/strong><\/p>\n

David 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?<\/p>\n

This book, the first of its kind, reveals more than 100 artists that made it onto Bowie\u2019s turntable.<\/p>\n

David Bowie: Music Lover<\/em><\/strong> is a compelling mix of personal insight and expert commentary, jointly written by Bowie\u2019s lifelong friend, collaborator and listening companion, Geoff MacCormack, and J\u00e9r\u00f4me Soligny, author of the seminal Rainbowman<\/em>, who knew Bowie for 25 years.<\/p>\n

From Classical to Britpop, Electronica to Delta Blues, the book explores Bowie\u2019s eclectic playlist, redolent of the decades he lived through but also of his deep interest in all genres and eras of music. It\u2019s a story that begins with Little Richard on Bowie\u2019s childhood Dansette record player, and ends with Kendrick Lamar, a go-to listen during the recording of Blackstar<\/em>, released just two days before he died.<\/p>\n

An indispensable guide for Bowie fans and all Music Lovers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
