Fantastic hardback edition of one of the first and best biographies to date to delve into the bad seed himself, Nick Cave.
With exclusive and extensive interviews with Cave's fellow musicians, friends and colleagues, among them Blixa Bargeld, Lydia Lunch, and Shane MacGowan, Johnston illustrates a life lived in barely controlled chaos and provides a vivid portrait of a maverick artist whose songs, possess "the austerity of the most primal kind of myth". Throughout the book Johnston offers a superb overview of Cave's career up to the early 90s, unravelling in the process the motivations of the once reluctant icon, and exploring his unique appeal.
