Description

James Dennis "Jim" Carroll (August 1, 1949 – September 11, 2009) was an author, poet, 



autobiographer, and punk musician. Carroll was best known for his 1978 autobiographical work 



The Basketball Diaries, which was made into the 1995 film of the same name, starring 



Leonardo DiCaprio as Carroll.



Carroll was of Irish descent and attended Roman Catholic grammar schools from 1955 to 1963. 



In fall 1963, he entered public school, but was soon awarded a scholarship to the elite 



private school Trinity School (New York). He entered Trinity High School in 1964.



Apart from being interested in writing, Carroll was an all-star basketball player throughout 



his grade school and high school career. He entered the "Biddy League" at age 13 and 



participated in the National High School All Star Game in 1966. During this time, Carroll 



was living a double life as a heroin addict who prostituted himself to afford his habit, but 



was also writing poems and attending poetry workshops at St. Mark's Poetry Project.



He attended Wagner College and Columbia University.



Carroll attracted the attention of the local literati and published his first book Organic 



Trains at age 17. Several of his poems have been published in such magazines as Paris Review 



and Poetry. In 1970, his second collection of poems, 4 Ups and 1 Down was published, and he 



started working for Andy Warhol. At first, he was writing film dialogue and inventing 



character names; later on, Carroll worked as the co-manager of Warhol's Theater. 



Also in 1978, Carroll formed The Jim Carroll Band, a New Wave/punk rock group, with 



encouragement from Patti Smith. The band was formerly called Amsterdam, based in the San 



Francisco Bay Area. The musicians were Steve Linsley (bass), Wayne Woods (drums), Brian 



Linsley and Terrell Winn (guitars). 







Catholic Boy (1980) is an album by The Jim Carroll Band. Carroll was notable for publishing 



a memoir, The Basketball Diaries, and poetry collections including Living at the Movies. It 



spawned two FM hits, "It's Too Late," in this case, "to fall in love with Sharon Tate," but 



more that it is too late to understand the attitudes of beautiful, rich and bored women. 



"People Who Died," is about friends of the singers who died before their time. The front 



cover photograph was taken by Annie Leibovitz.

Jim Carroll's Dry Dreams (1981) is in a style similar to that of his debut release. Despite 



the expanded instrumentation suggested by the personnel list on the album cover, the music 



here is still generally new wave-oriented, stripped down, and often propelled by an itchy 



beat. As one might expect from the author of The Basketball Diaries, Carroll's lyrics are 



wonderfully evocative and literate, to be favorably counted among rock music's best. 



Parallels to Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, and Patti Smith (this last pointed up by including guest 



guitarist/co-songwriter Lenny Kaye on the final track) are especially noticeable. Songs here 



are generally fine, if perhaps not quite as punchily memorable as those on his prior album. 



A few interesting alleyways are explored here, including the more traditionally tuneful and 



more fully scored "Rooms" and the multisectional "Barricades," which alternates slower Bob 



Dylan-derived music with faster, rocking material. This sturdy disc is well worth hearing.

Much of I Write Your Name (1983), Jim Carroll Band's last studio release shows some 



refinement of the no-nonsense new wave stylings of the group's first two albums. Most of the 



songs here are up-tempo numbers; a few (specifically "Freddy's Store" and "[No More] 



Luxuries") show a mild Pretenders influence. "Voices" is a bit more dance-like in feel, 



driven by energetic congas and rhythmic synthesizer textures. "Low Rider" is a bit slower 



and exhibits modest power pop touches. Unusual here are the bleak, brooding "Hold Back the 



Dream" and "Black Romance" and the hauntingly expressive, piano-dominated quasi-cocktail 



number "Dance the Night Away" (which echoes Tom Waits' work in this idiom). Backing vocals 



are utilized more often and show variety in employment, being by turns soaring ("Love 



Crimes"), punky and shouted ("[No More] Luxuries"), and warmly full ("Dance the Night 



Away"). As always, lyrics here are excellent. There is also a faithful, stripped-down cover 



of the Velvet Underground anthem "Sweet Jane." The sound is occasionally distorted or mildly 



claustrophobic, but is otherwise good. This capable album makes an intriguing listen.

Not a rock & roll album like his three early-'80s releases with the Jim Carroll Band, 1991's 



Praying Mantis is a spoken word disc recorded live at St. Marks Church in the Bowery. Taking 



poems and monologues from his collections Living at the Movies (1973), The Book of Nods 



(1986), and Forced Entries (1987), as well as some new material and a 14-minute improvised 



monologue/prose poem/rant called "The Loss of American Innocence," Praying Mantis is like a 



greatest poetry hits collection. Those who aren't fans of Carroll's Rimbaud/Verlaine-derived 



poetry will not have their minds changed (indeed, his harsh Noo Yawk accent sometimes 



obscures the language's power), but it's pretty essential for fans.

 Pools of Mercury (1998) defines Carroll's raw personal caliber once more throughout his 



expressive integrity to hit his own personal relevance. His words create a desire — a desire 



to find a solution, to think about controversy, and to take on the questionable visions 



chucked out by society's negative realms. He dips into the creases of desperation and 



frustration, molding a marriage of poetic words with musical traits. "Train Surfing" and 



"Things That Fly" from Fear of Dreaming naturally rise above string accompaniment. "Falling 



Down Laughing" swirls with lingering guitar loops and twitching bass and Carroll's nasal New 



York drawl is the attraction, and the one-time proclaimed "Dylan of the '80s" has magically 



done it again. Carroll's perseverance as a writer, poet, and musician exudes an honest 



proletarian approach among social conformists and followers. He continues to trudge on Pools 



of Mercury, his effort to cleanse himself once more through his words.
