SYNOPSIS
Now in paperback, the definitive anthology from a writer who "set the standard for newspaper pop-music criticism" (The Philadelphia Inquirer), the New York Times’ first chief pop music critic and Rolling Stone contributor Robert Palmer.
Robert Palmer’s extraordinary knowledge and boundless love of music were evident in all his writing. He was an authority on rock & roll, blues, jazz, punk, avant-garde, and world music—often discovering new artists and trends years (even decades) before they hit the mainstream. Noted music writer Anthony DeCurtis has compiled the best pieces from Palmer’s oeuvre and presents them here, in one compelling volume.
A member of the elite group of the defining rock critics who emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, Palmer possessed a vision so complete that, as DeCurtis writes, "it’s almost as if, if you read Bob, you didn’t need to read anyone else." Blues & Chaos features some of his most memorable pieces about John Lennon, Led Zeppelin, Moroccan trance music, Miles Davis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Philip Glass, and Muddy Waters. Wonderfully entertaining, infused with passion, and deeply inspiring, Blues & Chaos is a must for music fans everywhere.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Robert Palmer
Robert Palmer foi um cantor e compositor britânico, conhecido pela sua voz distinta e pela fusão de estilos musicais que incluíam rock, pop, soul, e funk. Nascido a 19 de janeiro de 1949, em Batley, Inglaterra, Palmer teve uma carreira prolífica, marcada pela sua versatilidade e pelas suas colaborações com diversos artistas, além de ser aclamado pelos seus sucessos tanto a solo quanto com a banda Power Station.
Palmer iniciou a sua carreira musical nos anos 70, mas foi no início dos anos 80 que alcançou o estrelato, especialmente com o álbum Addictions (1986), que incluía os grandes êxitos "Addicted to Love" e "I Didn’t Mean to Turn You On". O vídeo musical de "Addicted to Love", com as suas modelos de rosto impassível e o estilo visual elegante, tornou-se uma imagem icónica da época e ajudou a solidificar a sua presença na cultura pop.
O seu álbum Riptide (1985) foi outro marco, com sucessos como "Hyperactive!" e "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On", que mostraram a capacidade de Palmer de misturar rock e funk com um toque sofisticado e comercial. A sua habilidade de navegar entre géneros, misturando rock, jazz, soul e funk, fez dele um dos artistas mais distintos da década de 1980.
Antes da sua carreira a solo, Robert Palmer teve sucesso com a banda Power Station, formada em 1984, que também incluiu os membros do Duran Duran John Taylor e Andy Taylor. A banda teve sucesso com o hit "Some Like It Hot", mostrando a habilidade de Palmer de adaptar-se ao som mais orientado para o rock e para a música pop comercial.
Durante os anos 90, Palmer continuou a gravar e a fazer turnês, mas seu impacto na música pop começou a diminuir com o tempo. Contudo, a sua contribuição para a música continua a ser celebrada, e ele é lembrado não apenas pelos seus hits comerciais, mas também pela sua habilidade de atravessar diversos estilos musicais com elegância e sofisticação. Robert Palmer faleceu em 2003, mas o seu legado musical continua a viver através dos seus álbuns e da sua voz única, que marcaram uma era.
