Deep Dive: David Bowie - Hunky Dory

from Altar of Noise · host Simon Ielasi

David Bowie. The man, the myth, the legend. Where do you start with a back catalogue like his? Well, we believe 'Hunky Dory' is when Bowie became Bowie. Bowie's prowess as a songwriter is (arguably) on show for the first time in his career. Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone wrote of Hunky Dory, "Hunky Dory was the album where he staked his claim as the most altered ego in rock & roll." and in this episode, we try and dive into what makes this album one of his best. Featuring an eclectic sonic palette, a wide range of themes lyrically and three songs written as tributes to some of his idols, Hunky Dory is an album thats a must listen for anyone wanting to dive into one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
