In 2015, Chris O'Leary released the first volume of his two-volume exploration, "Rebel Rebel," which delved into the songwriting catalog of David Jones/David Bowie in chronological order. This second volume, titled "Ashes to Ashes," continues the comprehensive journey through Bowie's musical legacy. Spanning from his early collaboration with Iggy Pop on "The Idiot" in 1976 to his final masterpiece, "Blackstar," released just days before his passing in 2016, "Ashes to Ashes" encompasses every single Bowie song, whether sung, written, or produced by him. Each song is accompanied by in-depth annotations and essays that delve into the creative process, production details, influences, and lasting impact of these iconic compositions. The book covers a wide range of Bowie's works, including iconic tracks like "Heroes," "The Labyrinth Soundtrack," his 1985 collaboration with Mick Jagger on "Dancing in the Street," and his comeback single, "Where Are We Now," released in 2013. Throughout the book, readers are introduced to a diverse cast of characters who played significant roles in Bowie's life and music. These individuals include Brian Eno, John Cale, Nile Rodgers, Lou Reed, Freddie Mercury, Scott Walker, Marc Bolan, Arcade Fire, John Lennon, Mickey Rourke, Gary Oldman, Iman, Hanif Kureishi, Julien Temple, Giorgio Moroder, Neil Young, and many others. The narrative spans across various periods, from Bowie's years in divided Berlin to his exile in Switzerland, and finally his final years as a New Yorker, where he recorded within walking distance of his home. "Ashes to Ashes" is a testament to Bowie's unparalleled artistry, his ability to push boundaries, and his enduring influence on music and culture.
