Representing almost every genre of popular music, from blues to pop to rock, here are sixty-two figures who have shaped American music. They share their secrets and personal methods for converting inspiration into song: Robbie Robertson and Tom Petty talk about working with Bob Dylan; Dylan himself says the world doesn't need any new songs; R.E.M. names their favorite R.E.M. songs; Madonna describes collaborating with Prince; Sammy Cahn talks about writing standards for Sinatra; Pete Seeger recalls hitting the road with Woody Guthrie; Frank Zappa expresses his love for the direct impact of "Louie Louie"; Todd Rundgren and Townes Van Zandt recall how they have literally dreamed songs; and, in the book's most extensive interview, Paul Simon delves into his entire opus.-- From publisher's description
