The terrible beginnings of the reign of the Dark Judges

Hound Dog Taylor made guitars howl and hips shake. A founding father of lo-fi blues rock--that gritty, stripped-down sound played on cheap guitars with no bass--Taylor and his band The HouseRockers played loud, wild gut-bucket boogie that was raw and ferocious, earning them a reputation as "The Ramones of the blues." Though his influence continues to be heard in the music of contemporary musicians such as Jack White, The Black Keys, and others, Hound Dog Taylor's story has never been fully explored. Off stage, his life was as wild as his music. From his childhood in 1920s Mississippi to his final years in 1970s Chicago, he was surrounded by racism, crime, and violence. The threat of bloodshed was constant, whether from the Ku Klux Klan, South Side gangs, or even fellow musicians. From drunkenly slicing off his sixth finger with a straight razor, to becoming the artist whose music launched the now-legendary Alligator Records, Goodnight Boogie is the first in-depth biographical study of the Blues Hall of Famer whose life was as compelling as his music. This is the story of a brilliant and unforgettably original musician who struggled for success while fighting to survive. Foreword written by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys.

Das Werk von David Borgmann liefert einen eindrucksvollen Beleg für die anhaltende Bedeutung der Malerei. So demonstriert er mit vielen seiner Bilder, vor allem mit der zuletzt entstandenen Serie der Strukturlandschaften, dass Malerei schon allein deshalb wohl nie an ein Ende gelangen wird, weil es ihr so gut gelingt, das Auge des Betrachters zu verführen.0Sorgfältig, geradezu im Stil einer Versuchsanordnung mit immer wieder leicht anderen Variablen, lotet Borgmann die Kipppunkte aus, an denen Malerei sich in Illusionismus verwandelt. So gelingt es dem Künstler mit einem minimalistischen Einsatze an Flächen und Strukturen einen Himmel, das Meer, Berge oder Klippen entstehen zu lassen. In anderen Fällen glaubt man, Wasserfälle, Eisschollen oder Pflanzen auf den Bildern zu sehen. So zwingt Borgmann die Betrachter dazu, sich ganz auf die Gemälde zu konzentrieren ? wieder zu lernen, allein auf das zu achten, was dort zu sehen ist und welche Qualitäten sich bei längerem Hinschauen nach und nach entfalten
