Book Overview

by Michael S. Begnal (Author)

The definitive musical history of the influential Raw Power era of Iggy and the Stooges.

Raw Power by Iggy and the Stooges is arguably the most aggressive, dynamic album in rock history, and inarguably one of the most influential. Looking past the myths and into the true story of the Stooges, Michael S. Begnal illuminates the creation of this recording in the context of the cultural zeitgeist of the early 1970s, the American War in Vietnam, and the ways in which punk rock came snarling into existence. Death Trip uncovers lost archives and stories, drawing on new interviews with Stooges guitarist James Williamson and pianist Scott Thurston, and sheds fresh light on the band's creative process. This is an in-depth, definitive account that will challenge the assumptions of even the most knowledgeable Stooges fan.
