Waterstones Says

As intimate as it is wide-ranging, this landmark volume from one of the leading authorities on David Bowie draws from a wealth of interviews with the key figures in Bowie's career to deliver a unique, kaleidoscopic portrait of the iconic musician and his work.

In David Bowie Rainbowman, Jerome Soligny tells the story of David Bowie the musician with the help of those intimately involved with the creation of his music.

This uniquely exhaustive work on Bowie's 1967-1980 albums draws on over 150 interviews with the musicians, producers and friends who knew Bowie best, including Robert Fripp, Hermione Farthingale, Lou Reed, George Underwood, Mick Ronson, Carlos Alomar, Trevor Bolder, Mike Garson, Woody Woodmansey and many, many others.

With an essay by Soligny on each album followed by oral histories from the most trusted and influential figures in Bowie's musical life, David Bowie Rainbowman is the definitive guide to a singular and mercurial genius - the Rainbowman himself.

With a foreword by Tony Visconti, an introduction by Mike Garson and cover photo by Mick Rock. A beautiful and stylish gift for Bowie fans, over 700 pages long, filled with iconic photographs and with striking cover design by Barnbrook.

“Among the best Bowie books available.”

I would say this is the joint best Bowie reference book available, and a perfect companion volume to Nicholas Pegg's Complete David Bowie. Not quite the definitive biography, we're still waiting for that,... More
