Everything you want to know, everything you didn't know.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe legacy of David Bowie is roughly 450 songs, which he recorded or performed over half a century. They range from cabaret to psychedelia to folk rock to glam rock to Philadelphia soul, from avant-garde instrumentals to stadium anthems. Cataloging Bowie’s songs from the dawn of his career in 1963 to his Hollywood stardom in 1976, examining them in the order of their composition and recording, and digging into what makes them work, \u003ci\u003eRebel Rebel\u003c\/i\u003e and its sequel \u003ci\u003eAshes to Ashes\u003c\/i\u003e have become standard references for Bowie fans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe new edition of \u003ci\u003eRebel Rebel \u003c\/i\u003eis a fully-updated revision, taking into account Bowie demos and alternate takes released in the years after his death. It’s enhanced by a decade’s worth of new information about Bowie’s recording process, his influences, his contemporaries, and his live performances, all of which shed light onto the evolution of his songwriting. It shows how Bowie exploited studio innovations, and delves into the roles of his supporting musicians, particularly major collaborators like Mick Ronson and Tony Visconti.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book aligns Bowie’s music with his times, planting his work in the context of its era. You’ll see what Bowie’s work owes to novelists like Keith Waterhouse, Jack Kerouac, George Orwell, Ray Bradbury, and William S. Burroughs. To films like \u003ci\u003ePerformance\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e2001: A Space Odyssey\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eA Clockwork Orange\u003c\/i\u003e.
