Elliott Smith

Elliott Smiths intensely intimate music and open-hearted Beatlesque pop songs have left a deep mark on a generation of fans and musicians in the wake of his tragic death in 2003. In Autumn de Wildes remarkable photographs and conversations with close friends family and musicians he inspired this is the first and only portrait of the beloved and troubled singer/songwriter by those who knew him well. Complementing de Wildes riveting personal images are ephemera handwritten lyrics and revealing talks with Smiths inner circle many speaking here for the first time. Also included are a foreword by Beck Hansen and Chris Walla and a live CD of unreleased solo acoustic performances.
