Morphing the Blues: The White Stripes and the Strange Relevance of Detroit

Rating:
Summary: Who's Bio is this again?
Review: This book is much like that of the DVD, Candy Coloured Stripes... Unauthorized and Uninteresting.

The author comes off as trying to cash in on the success of the a music group. The book is unauthorized and therefore there are no interviews with Jack or Meg hence... everything you get is either heresay or just not related to the Stripes at all. Many of the book's chapters focus on the history of Detroit and the history of many Detriot rock bands... those bands of course have interviews and a full length detailed bios on them.

Again, as a lover of the Stripes, I love reading about them. However, I found myself getting more and more frustrated as this book went on and less and less entertained or informed about the subject matter for which I shelled out the money for this paperback.
