Book Reviews of Tony Visconti: The Autobiography: Bowie, Bolan and the Brooklyn Boy

Book Review: Bricks & Mortar
Summary: 4 Stars

Ironically, the first discovery I made opening this book was learning Tony was from NY and not London. As a long time Bowie fan, I have only the hype music rag spins on Bowie's story, aside from a few other personal introspections that have been penned, yet nothing comes close to getting this intimate to the music and who better to tap than an engineer/producer POV. As a sound recordist with great appreciation for many forms of music, this book speaks to me and wish there were more like it, but then not everyone is T.Visconti. Other noteable producers who have left legendary music markers include G. Martin & P. Specter.

Summary of Tony Visconti: The Autobiography: Bowie, Bolan and the Brooklyn Boy

A?rollercoaster journey through the glory days of pop music, this memoir from famed produced Tony Visconti brings to life more than five decades of music history. Soon after abandoning his native New York in the 1960s to pursue his career in the UK, Visconti found himself in the thick of the emerging glam rock movement. His first commercial success came with T.Rex, but it was with the then-unknown David Bowie that Visconti made his mark on the music scene. He has since worked with dozens of famous artists, among them Thin Lizzy, Morrissey, Iggy Pop, U2, and Wings. In this riveting autobiography, Visconti recalls the stories from his early days up until his present life back in New York. Filled with the groups and artists who shaped and made the pop scene, this is the story of a life spent behind the music.
