Everything you want to know, everything you didn't 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 Bowie's 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 Bowie's early singles and album tracks, unreleased demos, session outtakes and cover songs. The book traces Bowie's 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 Bowie's music in the context of its era. Readers will discover the links between Kubrick's 2001 and "Space Oddity"; how A Clockwork Orange inspired "Suffragette City". The pages are a trip through Bowie's 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. Review: Enchanting - Rebel Rebel is an enchanting book, far beyond what you might expect from a sequential evaluation of pop songs. O'Leary is judicious, psychologically acute, and imaginative; he takes Bowie's work seriously, but doesn't engage in celebrity worship or make excuses when the quality of the songs dips. The song analyses create a portrait of an artist and of the various worlds he inhabited, visited, and created. While a certain amount of the material appears in O'Leary's excellent blog, Pushing Ahead of the Dame, I think here he has gone deeper. For example, in one instance the blog discussion of a song (The Bewlay Brothers) seemed less perceptive than usual; the book version is perfect. And the book is beautifully written. Review: O By Jingo! - A song by song analysis of David Bowie's entire body of recorded works, from 1964 to 1976 (future volumes to come). This is a truly ambitious undertaking, and thankfully author Chris O'Leary is more than up to the task. His book is thoroughly researched and incredibly well written. I learned a good deal about the biographical context of Bowie's songs. But more importantly, the book made me consider the larger cultural world that Bowie was working in, and this made me think about and appreciate the artistic impact of the songs all the greater. Bowie fans will gain deep insight into the creative mind of their idol, and newcomers will get a tight narrative--via individual song entries--that establishes what Bowie gave the world and why it's special. While I do wish that some of the entries in the mid 60s were longer and offered more extensive critiques, I realize that the book is already over 500 pages, and it's only the first 12 years of his career---so this is a minor complaint. There are lengthier entries, perhaps the longest being for the song Station to Station, that are brilliant works of musical criticism. The fact that I wish that all the entries were of this type mainly speaks to the excellent quality of the writing. I highly recommend this to all music fans, particularly for Bowie fans, and eagerly await the next volume. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,189,905 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,337 in Music History & Criticism (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 228 Reviews | ## Images ![Rebel Rebel: All the Songs of David Bowie from '64 to '76 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61PvLTdR2UL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enchanting *by T***G on May 11, 2016* Rebel Rebel is an enchanting book, far beyond what you might expect from a sequential evaluation of pop songs.

The original blog was a joy to read and Rebel Rebel just ups the ante.
