i didn't get any cds over the weekend (can't find andrew bird here, but i'll keep looking) but i did pick up a copy of nick hornby's 31 Songs.
i know high fidelity's been mentioned in other topics as a GREAT book, has anyone read his other books?
any love?
i guess while i've started this, what other great books have you read about music?
my two favs would be high fidelity, and an equal music by vikram seth
"Midnight Riders: The Story of the Allman Brothers Band"
-Scott Freeman
a great book!!
"Broken Music: A memoir"
Sting
more autobiographical and not that much about his music but still very interesting...Sting's a great writer!
"Bob Dylan: Watching The River Flow 1966-1995"
Paul Williams
pretty good book although not as good as I thought it would be.
I like Nick Hornby. I've read About A Boy, High Fidelity & 31Songs.
My fav music book is Cash: The Autobiography.
I also like Peter Guralnick's Last Train To Memphis & Carless Love.
I have a beautiful photography book featuring lots of the original Fat Possum's artists called Darker Blues.
I've only read Hornby's _Long Way Down_, but I really liked it.
For another great music book, try:
_Wheel on Fire_ by Levon Helm
