A Man Called Destruction: The Life and Music of Alex Chilton, from Box Tops to Big Star to Backdoor Man

The first biography of the influential musician and forebear of the indie-rock scene

Alex Chiltonâ€™s story is rags to riches in reverse, beginning with teenage rock stardom and heading downward. Following stints leading 60s sensation the Box Tops (â€œThe Letterâ€) and pioneering 70s popsters Big Star (â€œthe ultimate American pop bandâ€â€”Time), Chilton became a dishwasher. Yet he rose again in the 80s as a solo artist, producer, and trendsetter, coinventing the indie-rock genre. By the 90s, acolytes from R.E.M. to Jeff Buckley embodied Chiltonâ€™s legacy, ushering him back to the spotlight before his untimely death in 2010.

In the career-spanning and revelatory A Man Called Destruction, longtime Chilton acquaintance Holly George-Warren has interviewed more than 100 bandmates, friends, and family members to flesh out a man who presided overâ€”and influencedâ€”four decades of American musical history, rendered here with new perspective through the adventures of a true iconoclast.
