书籍简介

《滚石》杂志称这是一本令人敬畏的自由风格的书，它不是一本直白的传记，而是历史、街头调查报道、圣徒传记、美国南部社会学、音乐评论、回忆录和一些激烈的说教的混合体。

詹姆斯·布朗的音乐几乎自成一派，他是二十世纪伟大、具影响力的文化人物之一。但这位被称为“演艺界勤奋的人”的歌手也是一位极其麻烦、被误解和复杂的人。获奖作家詹姆斯·麦克布莱德本人也是一名职业音乐家，他踏上了寻找“真正的”詹姆斯·布朗的探索之旅，深入探究了布朗童年和被毁遗产的令人心碎的传奇故事，并揭开了布朗早年的隐藏历史。

'A formidable free-style book that isn't straight biography but a mix of history, street-level investigative reporting, hagiography, Deep South sociology, music criticism, memoir and some fiery preaching' Rolling Stone magazine

A Guardian best music book of 2016

The music of James Brown was almost a genre in its own right, and he was one of the biggest and most influential cultural figures of the twentieth century. But the singer known as the 'Hardest Working Man in Show Business' was also an immensely troubled, misunderstood and complicated man. Award-winning writer James McBride, himself a professional musician, has undertaken a journey of discovery in search of the 'real' James Brown, delving into the heartbreaking saga of Brown's young life and destroyed estate, and uncovering the hidden history of Brown's early years.
