Album by album and track by track, this first-of-its-kind catalog of David Bowie's entire 50-year and 27-album career tells the story of one of rock's all-time greatest artists.
A lovingly thorough dissection of every album and every track ever released by David Bowie over the span of his nearly 50 year career, David Bowie All the Songs follows the musician from his self-titled debut album released in 1967 all the way through Blackstar, his final album.
Delving deep into Bowie's past and featuring new commentary and archival interviews with a wide range of models, actors, musicians, producers, and recording executives who all worked with and knew the so-called "Thin White Duke", David Bowie All the Songs charts the musician's course from a young upstart in 1960s London to a musical behemoth who collaborated with everyone from Queen Latifah and Bing Crosby, to Mick Jagger and Arcade Fire.
This one-of-a-kind book draws upon years of research in order to recount how each song was written, composed, and recorded, down to the instruments used and the people who played them. Featuring hundreds of vivid photographs that celebrate one of music's most visually arresting performers, David Bowie All the Songs is a must-have book for any true fan of classic rock.

A little bit disappointing

I haven't read through the entire book yet but even by just glancing over some stories about a few songs, I already found statements that are just assumptions or simply wrong. Just one example: Clerc claims that the origins to "John, I'm only dancing" where "revealed [...] by Paul Trynka in his 2011 biography, Starman", referring to an incident of drummer John Cambridge being shocked when seeing David dancing with a man. But in reality Paul Trynka only states in his biography that some people "speculated" this incident inspired the song. Clerc however writes about it as if it was a proven fact.
Some people might call this nit-picky but as a huge Bowie fan I just cannot be ok with someone selling something as a fact when it is not. Especially since there are more examples of assumptions like this one. The book doesn't seem well researched, nor do I feel like I am learning something when reading the sometimes very short and partially assumed "backstories" to the songs. And no, obviously I don't expect the author to know the meaning and story behind every song. What I have an issue with is how the author presents it. If it is speculation, simply say so... It does have some nice pictures but that's about it.
