Gentlemen

Praise for the series:

It was only a matter of time before a clever publisher realized that there is an audience for whom Exile on Main Street or Electric Ladyland are as significant and worthy of study as The Catcher in the Rye or Middlemarch. The series is freewheeling and eclectic, ranging from minute rock-geek analysis to idiosyncratic personal celebrationThe New York Times Book Review

Ideal for the rock geek who thinks liner notes just arent enoughRolling Stone

One of the coolest publishing imprints on the planetBookslut

These are for the insane collectors out there who appreciate fantastic design, well-executed thinking, and things that make your house look cool. Each volume in this series takes a seminal album and breaks it down in startling minutiae. We love these. We are huge nerdsVice

A brilliant serieseach one a work of real loveNME (UK)

Passionate, obsessive, and smartNylon

Religious tracts for the rock n roll faithfulBoldtype

[A] consistently excellent seriesUncut (UK)

We arent naive enough to think that were your only source for reading about music (but if we had our way watch out). For those of you who really like to know everything there is to know about an album, youd do well to check out Continuums 33 1/3 series of books.Pitchfork

Dedicate It

Many thanks to David Barker for taking the chance, believing, and viewing music as art still worthy of meaningful prose. Grazie mille to the original members of the Afghan Whigs (Greg Dulli, John Curley, Rick McCollum, Steve Earle) for agreeing to oft-lengthy interviews and, in Greg and Johns case, giving me contacts, personal tours, valuable face time, and honest responses; without their participation, this book would not have been possible. Merci to Lee Heidel, for contacts and music, and to Robert-Jan van der Woud, Keith Hagan, and Chris DeVille, for contacts.

Journalistic integrity, diligent reporting, and historical context are too often absent from the agenda-promoting opining that today passes for music criticism. For setting and maintaining an irreproachable standard, and being a good friend, sincere thanks to Greg Kot. His writing has always been and remains a primary inspiration. Thanks as well to my friend and colleague Andy Downing for lending an ear and taking an interest. And many thanks to my editors past and presentJonathan Valin, Robert Harley, Chris Martens, Heidi Stevens, Lou Carlozo, Kevin M. Williams, Carmel Carrillo, Emily A. Rosenbaum, Scott L. Powersfor their expertise, advice, and guidance.

Danke, to Jeannette Chernin for being a caring sister. Extra thanks to Michael L. Miller for constant support and kind words; a better friend doesnt exist. Utmost gratitude to my mother, Nanette, who always permitted my music obsessions and allowed me to work at an indie record store and travel to concerts long before I was old enough to drive. Most of all, supreme love and thanks to my beautiful wife, Ann, for all of the love, encouragement, faith, laughter, and patienceand for going to the fateful Whigs concert with me in Austin one week before our wedding. This book is for you, and in loving memory of George J. and Leona Gendron.

And thank you, the reader, for purchasing this bookor at least, browsing through it long enough to encounter this passage. Like it? Hate it? Email me thoughts or questions at . I will reply.
