Loose Canon by Ian Shircore
A fascinating insight into Clive James, the songwriter - his lyrics and the life events that led to them. Described by Clive as 'the work I'm known least for, but which is closest to my heart', this book will be loved by Clive James fans and music fans alike.
Atkin and James have spent half a century turning the ironically melancholic and the ruefully funny (or is it melancholically ironic and funnily rueful? All permutations of the four, I think) into an art form; Stephen Fry; In these wonderful songs -- timeless and yet so achingly redolent of a time -- the tough, smart, tender elegance of Clive James' intellect and lyricism found its perfect home in the subtle, graceful arms of Pete Atkin's settings;Stuart Maconie
