This in-depth analysis of Pink Floyd founding member Syd Barrett s life and work is the product of years of extensive research and met with widespread acclaim upon its original publication. Recently updated to include new information and additional interviews, Lost In The Woods traces Syd’s swift evolution from precocious young art student to acid-fuelled psychedelic rock star, and examines the myriad musical and literary influences that he utilised in composing his hypnotic, groundbreaking songs. A never forgotten casualty of the excesses, innovations, and idealism of the 1960s, Syd Barrett is one of the most heavily mythologized men in rock, and Lost In The Woods offers a rare portrayal of a unique spirit in freefall.
