Book Reviews of Tearing Down the Wall of Sound: The Rise and Fall of Phil Spector (Vintage)
Book Review: Does a good job trying to explain a very complicated subject
Summary: 5 Stars
Phil Spector is an important person in the history of American pop culture, and is definitely worthy of this treatment. He's also a severly damaged and flawed person, and probably a murderer as well. This book makes no excuses for the flaws, but does not sensationalize them either -- there is balance in the book which, in my opinion, makes the subject easier to understand.
I also agree with the previous reviewer who suggested reading this book with an iPod full of Phil's hits.
