"Songwriting is a mysterious gift. It's a blessing. A calling. For an illuminating inside glimpse at some of this magic, read this book." — Julie Gold, Grammy Award–winning songwriter"Bruce Pollock has been writing about songs and songwriters from the inside out, and the history from the outside with great perspective for decades. He knows, he cares, and he delivers. It’s why his books have such resonance, and his insight is so trusted." — Holly Gleason, editor of Woman Walk the Line: How The Women in Country Music Changed Our Lives and Prine on Prine: Interviews and Encounters with John Prine"Pollock is perhaps the most important scholar of American pop music." — Greg Shaw, founder, Bomp! Records
