A Man Called Destruction: The Life and Music of Alex Chilton, From Box Tops to Big Star to Backdoor Man

The first biography of the artist who â€œessentially invented indie and alternative rockâ€ (Spin)

A brilliant and influential songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist, the charismatic Alex Chilton was more than a rock starâ€”he was a true cult icon. Awardwinning music writer Holly George-Warrenâ€™s A Man Called Destruction is the first biography of this enigmatic artist, who died in 2010. Covering Chiltonâ€™s life from his early work with the charttopping Box Tops and the seminal power-pop band Big Star to his experiments with punk and roots music and his sprawling solo career, A Man Called Destruction is the story of a musical icon and a richly detailed chronicle of pop musicâ€™s evolution, from the mid-1960s through todayâ€™s indie rock.
