(Book). Hearts of Darkness is the story of a generation's coming of
age through the experiences of its three most atypical pop stars.
James Taylor, Jackson Browne, and Cat Stevens could never have been
considered your typical late-sixties songwriters self-absorbed and
self-composed, all three eschewed the traditional means of
delivering their songs, instead turning its process inward. The
result was a body of work that stands among the most profoundly
personal art ever to translate into an international language, and
a sequence of songs from "Sweet Baby James" and "Carolina in My
Mind," to "Jamaica Say You Will" and "These Days," to "Peace Train"
and "Wild World" that remain archetypes not only of what the
critics called the singer-songwriter movement, but of the human
condition itself. Author Dave Thompson, himself a legend among rock
biographers, takes on his subjects with his usual brio and candor,
leaving no stone unturned in his quest to shine a light on the dark
side of this profoundly earnest era in popular music. Penetrating,
pointed, and laced with vivid insight and detail, Hearts of
Darkness is the story of rock when it no longer felt the need to
roll.
