Book Review: The Craft and the Reward
Summary: 5 Stars
I came late to Mr. Earle. My musical tastes reeked of nights at the Fillmore and days chasing a California dream. Nashville town and country music history was a dusty museum of whiny hicks and sad hacks. When the music got schooled by some new creators, there was notice to be taken. This book was a pleasure to experience like catching a great set of that new music. Like discovering a piece of shiny silver in an old cigar-box of broken seashells, these stories gleam with the promise of being enjoyment to the unknowing. I collect books and was led to this one by a sly dog that smelled a classic and barked to get tossed a bone. Lately, I have acquired some of Mr. Earle's music, and find that his storytelling on the printed page, without the emotion of the instruments and the voice, reveals his experience more starkly and more pointedly personal. His music is crafted for the reward of the audience; his book is crafted for his own, and the solitary reader's, reward. We shall look forward to the days when Mr. Earle fashions another shining reward for us all.
