	Amazon.ca: Catholic Boy: Music: Jim Carroll (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		jim carrol leads an underground scene of art poets in the vein of patti smith but there are also elements of punk, 80's rock, and if hip-hop/rap is defined by singing/rappin about the plight of the ghetto then add that to the list because jim carroll is one diverse soul.
		Jim Carroll's songs are biting narratives with th intellectual force of Lou Reed, and with as much rock hard soul as The Ramones.
		Jim's singing is actually 80% Lou Reed-style speak-singing (mostly in tune with the music), with about 20% of Bob Dylan's "Blonde on Blonde" era phrasing and tendency to change the pitch upward at the end of a phrase thrown in for good measure.

		Indeed, Jim Carroll expressed the Bomb-fear anticipation, the optimistic nihilism and glittering darkness of the 1980s that we who were there felt even if we couldn't communicate it ourselves.
		The Jim Carroll Band's success can be attributed to the powerful combination of pure rock 'n' roll with Carroll's poetic sensibility and ability to write from his own experience, forging a style that articulates the relevance of the individual to the particular, the past to the present.
		Carroll has inspired a whole new generation of budding poets who, even if they've never heard of The Jim Carroll Band, see him as The Poet of their generation.

		Carroll's life between the fall of 1963 and the summer of 1966--hustling for nickel bags on New York streets, nodding out at the "headquarters" with his friends and seducing elderly women--is detailed in The Basketball Diaries.
		Carroll managed to distinguish himself; he managed to make it to 51 and still be relevant, primarily in his careful nurturing of a trend--spoken word--that has ebbed and flowed in popularity and is now vibrant again.
		Carroll may be a poet--not a rare breed, nor a lucrative one--but he is a poet who performs ceaselessly.

		To rock audiences, Jim Carroll's crowning achievement was the near-hit "People Who Died," a brutally emotional punk record saluting the victims of the New York drug culture.
		By the time he was 16, Carrol was a published poet; 1973's Living at the Movies further established his reputation as a prodigy and funded a move to Northern California, where he was finally able to shed his drug habit.
		As the 1990s dawned, Carroll was frequently approached to return to music; but he was firmly dedicated to his spoken-word work; His first solo album was Praying Mantis (1991), a collection of spoken-word performances, not new songs.

		Carroll's career has followed a similar trajectory to Patti Smith's; in his twenties, he brought his background in poetry to rock music and began writing songs.
		In 1980, The Jim Carroll Band issued its debut album, Catholic Boy, a harsh, slightly New Wave affair deeply stylistically indebted to the proto-punk of The Stooges and The Velvet Underground.
		Carroll's literate street-smart lyricism and speak-sing vocals, as evidenced by the manic "People Who Died," were especially reminiscent of Lou Reed's work, both with the Velvets and as a solo artist.

		Along with Patti Smith, Jim Carroll helped to revitalize the idea of rocker-as-poet that had lain largely dormant since the late-’60s excesses of Jim Morrison, and like Smith, Carroll made a mark in the literary world before turning to rock.
		Carroll speaks of the world he knows, the same one depicted in his poems and verse; filled with junkies, whores, and other unsavory characters who play out their doomed roles over a magically surreal, nocturnal urban landscape.
		Carroll’s subsequent output included both song and spoken word, but ‘Catholic Boy’ is his definitive lunge at the rock poet crown.
