In 2015 Chris O'Leary published the first folume of his two-volume
exporation, Rebel Rebel, of every song David Jones / David Bowie
ever wrote, in chronological order. This is the second volume.
Ashes to Ashes covers every single Bowie song, whether it was sung,
written, or produced by him, from 1976, when he first recorded with
Iggy Pop on "The Idiot," to his last masterpiece "Blackstar,"
released just days before his death in 2016. Each song is annotated
in depth and explored in essays that touch upon the song's
creation, production, influences and impact. It hits everything
from "Heroes" to the Labyrinth soundtrack, from his 1985 camp duet
with Mick Jagger on "Dancing In the Street" to "Where Are We Now,"
his comeback single in 2013. Along the way we encounter a vast cast
of characters, weaving in and out of Bowie's life and his music:
Brian Eno, John Cale, Nile Rodgers, Lou Reed, Freddie Mercury,
Scott Walker, Marc Bolan, Arcade Fire, John Lennon, Mickey Rourke,
Gary Oldman, Iman, Hanif Kureishi, Julien Temple, Giorgio Moroder,
Neil Young and many others. And we range across the globe from
Bowie's years in divided Berlin to his "exile" years in Switzerland
through his final years as a New Yorker, recording within walking
distance of his home.
