It covers old ground from new perspectives, offering deeply felt,
masterful, and strikingly personal portraits of creative artists,
both musicians and writers, at the height of their powers. "You put
the book down feeling that its sweep is vast, that you have read of
giants who walked among us," rock critic Lester Bangs wrote of
Guralnick's earlier work in words that could just as easily be
applied to this new one. And yet, for all of the encomiums that
Guralnick's books have earned for their remarkable insights and
depth of feeling, Looking to Get Lost is his most personal book
yet. For readers who have grown up on Guralnick's unique vision of
the vast sweep of the American musical landscape, who have imbibed
his loving and lively portraits and biographies of such titanic
figures as Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke, and Sam Phillips, there are
multiple surprises and delights here, carrying on and extending all
the themes, fascinations, and passions of his groundbreaking
earlier work. One of NPR's Best Books of 2020 One of Kirkus
Review/Rolling Stone's Top Music Books of 2020 One of No
Depression's Best Books of 2020
