James Taylor  Jackson Browne  and Cat Stevens could never have been considered your typical late-sixties songwriters ä self-absorbed and self-composed  all three eschewed the traditional means of delivering their songs  instead turning its process inward. The result was a body of work that stands among the most profoundly personal art ever to translate into an international language  and a sequence of songs ä from  Sweet Baby James  and  Carolina in My Mind   to  Jamaica Say You Will  and  These Days   to  Peace Train  and  Wild World  ä that remain archetypes not only of what the critics called the singer-songwriter movement  but of the human condition itself.ÞAuthor Dave Thompson  himself a legend among rock biographers  takes on his subjects with his usual brio and candor  leaving no stone unturned in his quest to shine a light on the dark side of this profoundly earnest era in popular music. Penetrating  pointed  and laced with vivid insight and detail  ÊHearts of DarknessÊ is the story of rock when it no longer felt the need to roll.","brand":"Hal Leonard Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041748549975,"sku":"9781617130311","price":23.51,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781617130311.jpg?v=1750951529","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/hearts-of-darkness-james-taylor-jackson-browne-cat-stevens-and-the-unlikely-rise-of-the-singer-songwriter-9781617130311","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
