Despite glowing reviews and feverish tour support, Gentlemen faded from view--and yet it remains dearly beloved to almost everyone who's heard it. He also delves into the memories, histories, experiences and influences of the Afghan Whigs, most notably those driving Dulli, a polarizing frontman whose fierce pretentiousness, GQ appearance and gloves-off boisterousness concealed deep-rooted mental depression and chemical dependency.. To this day, Gentlemen remains as cursed as its controversial narrator, an album out of time even in its time.

Jim said I like the breakdown of each song and it's back story. I thought this album was a bigger hit than it was. I learned a lot about the band and the story of the songs. I like the breakdown of each song and it's back story. Then there was the post release story of the album. I wondered why these songs aren't better remembered. I later watched videos from the songs after the book. I still love the album and this book captures why.. "Very Illuminating Look at the Making of a Phenomenal Album" according to C. Ford. Gentlemen has been one of my favorite albums for a long, long while and, as Bob Gendron states in the book, it's a truly unique masterpiece, unlike anything that's come along before or since.Through interviews with many of the people involved in making both the album Gentlemen and The Afghan Whigs what they were, Bob vividly details the influences that provoked Greg Dulli to bare his soul so unabashedly.

It is a magnificent account of a magnificent band and the making of a truly devastating album.I can't recommend this highly enough
