I Kim Larsen - et livs sange dykker Erik Jensen, Politikens mangeårige musikskribent, ned i de Kim Larsen-sange, der har været danskernes lydtapet igennem fem årtier. Fra dengang tressernes drømmeflip blev afløst af 1970’ernes benhårde socialrealisme og frem til 2010’erne, hvor spillemanden Larsen til det sidste rejste landet tyndt på en nærmest kronisk koncertturne. Det er en bog om det univers, de personligheder og det Danmark, der er vokset ud af de omkring 500 sange, som Kim Larsen nåede at indspille.
