Real music artists don't hint autographs, time models, or travel in private jets. They spend their lives used rooms and cellar golf clubs or toiling in the obscurity of coffee-shop gigs, casino jobs, and the European festivity circuit. The 10 connected reviews in Vitality Ballads are devoted to this unheard virtuoso: the working musician. From the wings of sold-out arenas to hip-hop studios to polka pubs, these reviews are created out of a nocturnal world where music is often simply work, but also where it can, in exceptional moments, turn into a source of elegance and transcendence, speaking about the items we never appear to say one to the other. A skilled but snobby jazz drummer joins a costumed rock group to pay his rent. A country performer tries to turn her brutal history into a successful job. A vengeful rock and roll critic reenters the life span of an appearing singer-songwriter, bent on wreaking havoc. The heroes in Vitality Ballads - aging head-bangers, jobbers, techno DJs, groupies, and the casual rock celebrity (and those who have to reside with them) - need music to endure, yet end up lost when the last note is performed, the lights go up, and it's time to return to regular life. By turns melancholy and hilarious, Vitality Ballads is not only a deeply experienced look at the lives of music artists but also an exploration of the secret music that takes on inside us all.
