Omschrijving
The Sunday Times Bestseller and Winner of the NME Best Book Award 2017
Few groups have had a bigger impact than The Smiths and few musicians are as celebrated as Johnny Marr.
. . . wise, breezy, supersmart memoir . . . Marr’s defiantly unghostwritten book is pleasant and direct . . .
An unpretentious, clearly written memoir recounting his journey from a working-class upbringing on the outskirts of Manchester to his status as a musical polymath
Set the Boy Free – a telling title again – is much more than an obituary for a brilliant band. It’s also a love letter to the women in Marr’s life … and a guide on how to keep changing and moving on with your creative life.
It is a pleasure …. to read a memoir by a five-star guitar hero that … present[s] a particular life in rock as one of pure, disarming joy and open possibility
The perfect book for aspiring musicians
Excellent
Set the Boy Free is a trip down memory lane featuring the all-star cast that Marr has rubbed shoulders with … and it will likely serve as a guidebook to anyone who's ever dreamed about picking up the guitar and trying their hand at making music for a living because, at its heart, Set the Boy Free is written by a music fan for music fans.
His sweetly and deceptively simple account of his lively youth and The Smith’s early, joyous years … will touch many
Grounded and positive
His writing is compassionate, courageous and concerned
Set The Boy Free tells the ordinary yet fascinating story of arguably one of the most influential guitar players of all time
An excellent memoir. . . Stars don't come much brighter than Johnny Marr … And it's a pleasure to hear the story from the man himself
Smiths fans will love it for the insight into the songs … He is relentlessly upbeat and positive
Set The Boy Free aims to set the record straight on the story of one of rock’s most contentious break–ups
Marr’s directness is refreshing
A must read for indie fans
