It was a good idea to have a blog about music books, but you overlooked the best music books of all. "Cash" by Johnny Cash an autobiography of his life is probably the best book about music and life inside of music. Other good selections would be: Our band could be your life by Michael Azarrad, a book about the underground music of the eighties. The best music books are usually the autobiography & biographys.
Awesome! Thanks for the titles suggested!
