Description
Arthur Lee: A Life of Genius and Excess Arthur Lee was a figure of mesmerizing complexity, a musician whose innovative blend of folk, jazz, and rock helped shape the California sound of the 1960s. His band, Love, was a pioneering force, and their 1966 album Forever Changes remains a timeless masterpiece. This biography, written with the full consent and cooperation of Lee's widow, Diane Lee, offers a meticulously researched look at the life of a man whose ambition and talent were matched only by his demons. Lee's story is one of both creative triumph and personal struggle. From his childhood in Memphis to his rise as a rock star, Lee's life was marked by a fierce determination to succeed, as well as a series of self-destructive choices that nearly destroyed him. Despite his struggles, Lee continued to create music that inspired and influenced generations of fans. This updated edition of Forever Changes includes new interviews with the surviving members of Love and other key figures from Lee's orbit, offering a rich and nuanced portrait of a true original. A new foreword by Love's co-founder and lead guitarist, Johnny Echols, adds further depth and insight to this remarkable biography.
