âThe days of poets moping around castle steps wearing black capes is over. The poets of today are amplified.â â LEONARD COHEN Picking up where Samuel Johnson left off more than two centuries ago, Ray Robertsonâs Lives of the Poets (with Guitars) offers up an amplified gathering of thirteen portraits of rock \u0026 roll, blues, folk, and alt-countryâs most inimitable artists. Irreverent and riotous, Robertson explores the âgreater or lesser heatâ with which each musician shaped their genre, while offering absorbing insight into their often tumultuous lives. Includes essays on Gene Clark, Ronnie Lane, The Ramones, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Townes Van Zandt, Little Richard, Alan Wilson, Willie P. Bennett, Gram Parsons, Hound Dog Taylor, Paul Siebel, Willis Alan Ramsey, and John Hartford. |
