Without him, Genesis seemed to be standing on dangerous ground. Could they continue? Could Phil Collins step forward as lead singer? Could Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, Steve Hackett, and Collins preserve the band's identity while creating something new?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Trick of the Tail\u003c\/i\u003e answered those questions with grace, confidence, and imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book offers a deep, track-by-track journey through one of Genesis' most important albums: the record that proved the band were more than Peter Gabriel's group.
