Holding the Note: Writing on Music by David Remnick

I really enjoyed this collection of profiles. The standouts to me were the profiles on Mavis Staples, Bruce Springsteen, and Phil Schaap. The audiobook was very well done, and I would recommend it if you’re unable to find a physical copy.  Remnick’s writing has a wryness about it that I find exceptionally human, and he has a talent for reminding you that he’s a journalist (and a good one) in his stylistic choices. Recommended for anyone who may be interested in various essays on some music greats that are written with affection, humor, and precision.
