| General Book (not sheet music). 8.5x11 inches. 144 pages. Published by Hal Leonard. (HL.00331221)
A superbly illustrated, in-depth examination of the stories, events, places, and chararacters that inspired the songs of the Talking Heads, arguably the most significant band to emerge from the late-'70s New York punk scene based around CBGB's club. Led by guitarist-vocalist David Byrne, the band enjoyed major chart success on both sides of the Atlantic with infectious, incendiary singles like Road to Nowhere, Psycho Killer, and Once in a Lifetime. During their influential seventeen-year career, Talking Heads assembled a body of raw yet intellectual rock music second to none. Then this year, having vowed to never work together again, the four original Heads reconvened and played live when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Ian Gittins has written about music and popular culture for fifteen years for such varied publications as Melody Maker, Q, The Guardian, Daily Telegraph, Time Out, MTV, and the New York Times. He lives in London, England. Customers who bought this item also bought:
