Barney Hoskyns's glorious landscape portrait of Los Angeles and its music is at once broad in its reach and deep in its research. The definitive story of a dysfunctional artists' community, Waiting for the Sun begins its journey in the jazz joints of Central Avenue in the 1940s, and comes to a halt with a chilling image of 1990s hip-hop LA annihilated by its own attitude--and wondering which phoenixes will arise from its ashes. Along the way we encounter Chet Baker and Brian Wilson, Johnny Mercer and Jim Morrison, Iggy Pop and Ice Cube, Gram Parsons and Charles Manson, Barry White and Beck. And in their company we come to know Los Angeles itself: a bleached, irrigated dreamscape that has fostered some of the most unpredictably creative work of our times.
