Modern Musicology #157 - Bowie: The Later Career

David Bowie: The Later Career

DAVID BOWIE had a lenthy career, spanning from the first single he released in 1964 to his final album in 2016. January 2026 marks the tenth anniversary of his passing, and to commemorate the occasion we are joined by author Don Klees to talk about his book On Track: David Bowie 1983 – 2016, which covers every album and every single from the second half of his career. We discuss Bowie’s works between Let’s Dance and Blackstar. We talk about the brilliance of Outside and Earthling, and Alan finally gets the definitive answer to a burning question: “Is Never Let Me Down as bad a most of the fans say it is?”
