| | | Nirvana turned alternative rock into the mainstream, changing the face of rock forever. Cobain has been the subject of many books since his suicide, however the one aspect has been overlooked is his extraordinary, revolutionary and instinctive songwriting. This is the first book to put Nirvana's music center stage. Unashamedly ambitious, it traces the evolution of the band-and of individual songs and albums-from rudimentary jams to finished masterpieces.
Annotation:
An ideal and perhaps essential companion to Nirvana's exhaustive 2004 box set collection, WITH THE LIGHTS OUT, British music journalist Rob Jovanovic's NIRVANA: THE RECORDING SESSIONS is a remarkable feat of musical archaeology. A multi-faceted exploration of the influential band's sonic experimentation, the book incorporates a comprehensive discography of officially and unofficially released material, TV and radio performances, and a history of live dates, as well as details of songs the band performed but never recorded. Jovanovic also conducts valuable informational interviews with recording personnel, producers, and outside musicians who participated in the many official and unofficial sessions catalogued here, managing along the way to weave a wealth of biographical detail into his fact-packed narrative. With few mentions of drug abuse, scandal, or Courtney Love, Jovanovic's narrow focus on the Nirvana's music is a huge boon to long-term fans and newcomers to the band's oeuvre alike.
