Book Reviews of The Guys Who Wrote 'em

Book Review: Original and outstanding rock book
Summary: 5 Stars

It's a book rich in detail and full of anecdotes. For who better to see and record the unknown side of rock stars than the guys and ladies who wrote their songs, worked with them, and, frequently, had to put up with their quirks and tantrums? This is a pretty complete history of rock and pop, but from an original perspective. Sean Egan's book fills a black hole in rock and roll history. But he does it in a delightfully unpretentious way. Egan has no axe to grind; he simply wants to give the songwriters' side of the story. He lets, wherever he can, the songwriters speak for themselves. No good rock and roll library should be without this book. Every time you listen to one of the rock classics, you'll have a new insight into the pain, effort, time and genius that went into its creation. Like me, I'll bet you read it in one go.
