Summary
Revolution is a detailed exploration into the era of Prince’s most prolific and groundbreaking music made with considerable inspiration and performed by a unique cadre of musicians he gathered and relentlessly drove to be the sonic, visual, and ideological reflection of his evolving vision. Although being the most self-contained, versatile, and prolific artist of his era, Prince reveled in the band, a multi-racial, intergender unit that acted as both family and loyal acolytes that embodied his ethos, expressed his pathos, and lifted him to rarified heights of pop dominance. This is the story of the genre-shifting, multi-media, trailblazing Prince & the Revolution from their humble inception to their precipitous rise in celebrated hit singles, albums, films, and tours to their controversial and shocking demise.©2025 James Campion (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
Critic Reviews
Rock biographer James Campion provides an excellent critical reassessment of what was perhaps the best band—but most overlooked—band of the 1980s.
Campion has penned a long-overdue book that gives Prince's band The Revolution their dues.
Campion crafts a spellbinding, down-the-rabbit-hole chronology of the social, musical, experimental, and genre-bending adventure of the Revolution years ... A must-read for old and new fans, functioning as both a tribute and an investigation into the complex fabric of how a piece of musical history was written.
Revolution helps round out our understanding of Prince's creative process.
