Description
Robert Dean Lurie's biography offers a comprehensive and detailed account of R.E.M.'s formative years. This is the first fully researched and written biography since the band disbanded in 2011, providing an in-depth look at their early lives, debut show, tours, recordings, and rise to fame. The American South played a significant role in shaping R.E.M.'s members and artistic style. The creative ferment of Athens, Georgia, and its surrounding region drew on regional traditions of outsider art, contributing to the development of a free-spirited music scene that produced notable bands like the B-52's and Pylon. Through extensive research and interviews with key figures in R.E.M.'s history, Lurie sheds new light on previously underrepresented stories and provides a fresh perspective on the band's narrative.
