Now in paperback, the definitive anthology from a writer who set the standard for newspaper pop-music criticism (The Philadelphia Inquirer), the New York Times first chief pop music critic and Rolling Stone contributor Robert Palmer.Robert Palmers extraordinary knowledge and boundless love of music were evident in all his writing. He was an authority on rock & roll, blues, jazz, punk, avant-garde, and world music—often discovering new artists and trends years (even decades) before they hit the mainstream. Noted music writer Anthony De Curtis has compiled the best pieces from Palmers oeuvre and presents them here, in one compelling volume. A member of the elite group of the defining rock critics who emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, Palmer possessed a vision so complete that, as De Curtis writes, its almost as if, if you read Bob, you didnt need to read anyone else. Blues & Chaos features some of his most memorable pieces about John Lennon, Led Zeppelin, Moroccan trance music, Miles Davis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Philip Glass, and Muddy Waters. Wonderfully entertaining, infused with passion, and deeply inspiring, Blues & Chaos is a must for music fans everywhere.
