Review:
Salewicz knew and loved his subject well, and that shows on every page.' The Sunday Times Salewicz depicts Strummer as a difficult man and yet, as the title of this inspiring and uplifting book promises, there is redemption at the last.' Daily Telegraph 'Chris Salewicz's hugely, expansive biography, Redemption Song, is all the more commendable for refusing to fawn; tackling the frontman's frustrating contradictions and multiple flaws.' 'Drawing on more than 300 interviews with family, friends and associates, it's as exhausting and enthralling as Strummer himself.' Metro 'A great read. Brutally frank and full of insights.' Mojo '!one of the most comprehensive music biographies around.' The Irish Herald '!a riveting read that will keep you gripped to the end.' The Daily Mirror 'Chris Salewicz is immensely insightful on the life and works of Strummer.' The Herald 'A great read.' Nuts 'Salewicz catalogues Strummer's triumph through insight and unfettered access from the very start, but also finds space to identify Strummer's weaknesses, fears and insecurities, offering the most detailed broad picture of his subject yet published.' Record Collector 'conjures up the excitement of the punk era' The Sunday Telegraph Seven Magazine Redemption Song isn't just a great rock biography; it's a great biography, period.' Classic Rock 'One of the most rivetingly detailed, revealing music biographies ever written' 'A substantial, compelling biography!' Evening Standard '!a warm yet sensible account; one charged with, but not overwhelmed by, heart.' The Independent on Sunday '!epic, revealing biography' The Observer
