Book Reviews of Big Star's Radio City (33 1/3)
Book Review: A Great Book For A Great Album
Summary: 4 Stars
I've only recently become obsessed with Big Star, and Eaton's book totally did my new obsession justice. Eaton finds the right balance of describing what it's like to fall in love with an album, what goes into making such an album come into existence, and, in the end, what it's like to come to a point when you cast aside musical expectations for pure musical pleasure. ("There is no piece of music in the world that you have to like.")*
*I can't help but think now that quoting a line you loved from someone's book is a little like air drumming to their drum solo, no?
