A 50 Track (all different versions) Tribute To Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Hunky Dory,the 4th studio album by DB, released on 17 December 1971. Bowie assembled a new backing band consisting of guitarist Mick Ronson, bassist Trevor Bolder and drummer Mick Woodmansey,Future Yes member Rick Wakeman contributed on piano. Bowie co-produced the album with Ken Scott.His lyrical concerns on the record range from the compulsive nature of artistic reinvention on "Changes", to occultism and Nietzschean philosophy on "Oh! You Pretty Things" and "Quicksand"; several songs make cultural and literary references. He was also inspired by his stateside tour to write songs dedicated to three American icons: Andy Warhol, Bob Dylan, and Lou Reed. The song "Kooks" was dedicated to Bowie's newborn son Duncan.Upon release, Hunky Dory and its lead single "Changes" received little promotion from RCA who were wary that Bowie would transform his image shortly.Look at the comment for the detailed playlist!
