The making of a tribute album to Marc Bolan, featuring an impressive all-star lineup, offers a unique chance to delve deep into the legacy and multifaceted persona of an artist who seamlessly connected the worlds of hippy culture and glam-rock. Bolan was the original rock dandy, the androgynous and seductive teenage icon of British pop, and a brilliant songwriter of the late 60s and early 70s who, as Nick Cave duly noted, “wrote better lyrics than Bowie”.
