Description
Bob Mould's Workbook is a seminal album that marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of alternative rock. Released in 1989, it saw Bob Mould take a new direction after his work with Hüsker Dü, resulting in an album that blended post-punk sound and confessional lyrics with greater emotional depth. The album's impact has been profound, serving as a model for the genre's maturation and opening conversations about rock, identity, spirituality, authenticity, and mainstream culture. This book offers new insights into Workbook's significance through letters and emails exchanged between critics Walter Biggins and Daniel Couch, as well as correspondence with Mould and his collaborators. Through this album, we gain a deeper understanding of the alternative rock genre at its inception, just before it took over the airwaves. A must-have for anyone interested in music history and the development of alternative rock, Workbook is a fascinating exploration of artistic growth and creative evolution.
