Station to Station
David Bowie
the title track is where David Bowie proclaims himself the Thin White Duke. Thin he was — Station to Station was recorded in a blizzard of cocaine in Los Angeles. The manic mood fueled an album that was futuristic but accessible: “TVC 15” is New Orleans R&B as robotic funk; “Golden Years” is James Brown from outer space, with Bowie’s amazing falsetto.
