A collection of letters with the central themes of music - it's creation, performance, effects and power. A wonderful letter from Nick Cave made it all the better!
arwens's review against another edition
I love this series of books! I've read the Art one and this one, and they're both very enjoyable.
This volume contains a mixture of lighthearted and serious, old and new letters, from well known musicians.
I couldn't believe my eyes as I was reading letter 21, by Rik Mayall to Bob Geldof. Do yourselves a favour and track that down - I found it on the Internet earlier today to read to my family, as I didn't have the book with me. It was shockingly hilarious.
I'll surely get more of these books now!

Beautiful collection of letters. Would’ve loved to have read more from composers (my personal interest) over more modern musicians. Overall a good balance of both though.
Thank you Penguin Books for the finished copy to read and review.

An interesting mix of letters form the quite profound to the frivolous.
