"Deacon Blue" by Dave Bowler

This is the biography of Deacon Blue. Lead by singer and songwriter Ricky Ross, the band's albums have achieved platinum status. They are loved by the public and loathed in equal measure by the music press. Deacon Blue are regarded as either followers in Van Morrison's Celtic-soul footsteps or the unacceptable face of the CD generation's mortgage-sensible rock. The message in Ross's songwriting has arguably been obscured by the demands of modern-day marketing and the reaction it has provoked. This book is an attempt to dig beneath the glossy surface imposed by the music industry, revealing the dead end which the business has constructed for itself, and the conclusion to be drawn from Deacon Blue's own demise.
