Rock Stars on the Record: The Albums That Changed Their Lives by Eric Spitznagel
4.0
I like music. I’m definitely in the target audience, maybe a little young BUT I really enjoyed this book. The narrator reminded me of Casey Kasem, subdued. I think the only thing I might change (but not sure) would be to have him be the interviewer and have others be the interviewees so it gives it an even more rockumentary feel.
All of the stories were heartfelt and/or funny. I’ve always loved music so I was answering the questions to a lot of the questions in my head.
You’re (I’m) not alone! All of the people interviewed had a first record that they bought or most influential band etc.
It was funny that it’s mentioned that younger artists when asked might not be as honest answering all of the questions as someone in their 40’s. True.
The age issue would be that I didn’t recognize a bunch of the people interviewed but I’ve heard of half the bands they were in so anyone could listen and enjoy this.
I asked for this title from NetGalley as I found the description interesting.
