Description
by James Greer (Author), Steven Soderbergh (Foreword by)
The true story of the fourth-grade teacher in Dayton, Ohio, who created one of the most influential bands of our times.
Devoted fans have followed Guided by Voices for decades-and critics around the world have lauded the band's brain trust, Robert Pollard, as a once-in-a-generation artist. Pollard has been compared by the New York Times to Mozart, Rossini, and Paul McCartney (in the same sentence) and everyone from P. J. Harvey, Radiohead, R.E.M., the Strokes, and U2 has sung his praises and cited his music as an influence.
But it all started rather prosaically when Pollard, a fourth-grade teacher in his early thirties, began recording songs with drinking buddies in his basement. In this book, James Greer, an acclaimed music writer and former Spin editor--who also played in the band for two years--provides unparalleled insight and complete access to the workings of Pollard's muse.
