Anthems We Love: 29 Iconic Artists on the Hit Songs That Shaped Our Lives by Steve Baltin
4.0
I enjoyed Anthems We Love, which give the background of twenty-nine songs through interviews with the artist. My definition of what is considered an "anthem" is a little different than theirs, but there is a good mix of songs covered. Even for the songs I knew, in some cases I found it helpful to look up the song lyrics online as I was reading that chapter.
Some chapters resonated more than others because I'm more familiar with the song and/or the artist, but overall it's a good book. Some of my favorite stories include the backstory of God Only Knows by the Beach Boys, Walk this Way by Aerosmith, Rock and Roll All Night by Kiss, Sara Smile by Hall and Oates, and Big Love by Fleetwood Mac. The book is an interesting and easy read that music lovers will enjoy.
I received this ebook from NetGalley through the courtesy of Harper Horizon. An advance copy was provided to me at no cost, but my review is voluntary and unbiased.
