A lovingly thorough dissection of every album and every track ever released by David Bowie over the span of his nearly 50-year career.

David Bowie: All the Songs follows the musician from his self-titled debut album released in 1967 all the way through to Blackstar, his final album.

Delving deep into Bowie's past and featuring new commentary and archival interviews with a wide range of models, actors, musicians, producers and recording executives who all worked with the so-called Thin White Duke, the book charts his course from a young upstart in 1960s London to a musical behemoth who collaborated with everyone from Queen Latifah and Bing Crosby to Mick Jagger and Arcade Fire.

This one-of-a-kind book draws upon years of research to recount how each song was written, composed and recorded, right down to the instruments used and the people who played them. Featuring hundreds of vivid photographs that celebrate one of music's most visually arresting performers, this is a must-have book for any true fan of classic rock!
