“Narrator Tristan Morris perfectly channels the languid cool of Rolling Stone writer and David Bowie superfan Rob Sheffield. As author, Sheffield straddles tones of nerdy sincerity and rock hipness, and Morris’ relaxed, warm, enthusiastic delivery is just right for this love letter…Bowie’s lyrics are liberally sprinkled throughout this production, and Morris adds a slight singsong quality so the listener can distinguish the author’s words from the musician’s.”
