Best known for his Oscar-nominated song "Miss Misery" from the
"Good Will Hunting" soundtrack, Elliott Smith was catapulted to the
status of indie rock star after performing at the 1997 Academy
Awards. Some of his albums, "XO" and "Either/Or" among them, would
become '90s classics, helping to define an understated aesthetic
that owed as much to the melodic emphasis of The Beatles as it did
to punk. In the afterglow of the success of "Miss Misery," Smith's
fame grew--alongside his struggles with depression and substance
abuse. First relocating to Brooklyn, and then finally to L.A., he
fell into a downward spiral evident to friends and fans alike, even
as he continued to write such beautifully realized songs as "Waltz
#2" ("XO"). Drawing on new interviews with those who knew and loved
Smith, and focusing on the crucial interplay between Smith's life
and music, Ben Nugent compellingly and sympathetically portrays an
enormously gifted, yet troubled, artist.
