I've listened to a lot of Mark Radcliffe's radio shows through the years, he can be quite amusing, unfortunately in many of his books his digression into humour for the cheap laugh can become rather irritating on the written page. ( ) Mark Radcliffe takes his reader to crossroads, points in time when musicians stood at a junction and chose a particular route that changed their music and fortunes. Dotted with the personal tales of someone who has been involved in the music industry for many years, particularly in Manchester, this is a light and often amusing book. There is plenty of interest here for music fans, from Nirvana to Elvis Presley with stories about Black Sabbath, Fairport Convention and Bob Dylan among others. Mark Radcliffe knowledge of the music industry is vast and this means he digresses often and gives his readers additional facts and stories as asides. Each chapter stands alone and this makes it a great book to dip in and out of. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Standing at the crossroads - the Mississippi crossroads of Robert Johnson and the devil's infamous meeting - Mark Radcliffe found himself facing his own personal crunch point. Aged sixty, he had just mourned the death of his father, only to be handed a diagnosis of mouth and throat cancer. This momentous time in his life, and being at the most famous junction in music history, led Radcliffe to think about the pivotal tracks in music and how the musicians who wrote and performed them - from Woodie Guthrie to Gloria Gaynor, Kurt Cobain to Bob Marley - had reached the crossroads that led to such epoch-changing music. In this warm, intimate account of music and its power to transform our lives, Radcliffe takes a personal journey through these touchstone tracks, looking at the story behind the records and his own experiences as he goes in search of these moments.
