Description
The Zombies' Enduring Legacy: A Story of Resilience and Great Songwriting. The Zombies were at the forefront of The British Invasion, with music described as 'so original it hurt'. Their early success was marked by hits like 'She's Not There' and 'Time of the Season', but their chart fortunes were far from guaranteed. Despite a US number one single and a film appearance with Laurence Olivier, the band faced poor publicity, unwise management, and bad timing that almost killed off their career. However, sublime songwriting and a lucky break with Al Kooper reanimated them, paving the way for many afterlives, including posthumous releases. The book explores the story behind the 'counterfeit' Zombies, their first reunion album New World, and how their later version has sustained success more than the original line-up. Drawing on archive interviews and new conversations with key figures, this book sheds light on why The Zombies not only have an immortal back catalogue but are also still making vital music today.
