"Garrulous and loving, remarkably successful in distilling abstruse musical manipulation--e.g., the mathematics governing the many kinds of tuning in Harrison's music--this is one of those rare musical biographies that draws you close to the subject with words of kindness rather than scholarly gobbledygook or scabrous patter."--Alan Rich, San Francisco Sunday Examiner "An inspirational assessment of the American maverick."--BBC Music Magazine "[S]eemingly manages the impossible in striking a perfect balance between convention and alterity, seriousness and humor, scholarship and celebration, erudition and readability, macrocosm and microcosm . . . A minor musicological miracle."--David Nicholls, Notes
