Editorial Review:

Product Description:
This expanded fourth edition of Songwriters on Songwriting includes ten new interviews--with Alanis Morissette, Lenny Kravitz, Lou Reed, and others. In these pages, sixty-two of the greatest songwriters of our time go straight to the source of the magic of songwriting by offering their thoughts, feelings, and opinions on their art. Representing almost every genre of popular music, from blues to pop to rock, here are the figures that have shaped American music as we know it.




Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very good book about the creative process
Paul Zollo interviews about 30 or so songwriters and gets them talking about their songwriting processes and how they go about it. Very interesting and shows you that everyone has a different way of doing it. Paul Simon, Tom Petty, Brian Wilson, Dylan, Lindsey Buckingham and many others are in there.

If you are a songwriter or interested in becoming a songwriter, you should buy this book.

If you aren't a songwriter and have no interest in becoming one, this is still an interesting ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - wow
Compilation of over a decade of interviews with songwriters talking about the way they write songs. Really helpful.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - fantastic inspiration
the person who wrote that this book contains "dull rock stars" has obviously not read this book. the interviews are very comprehensive and go beyond the standard "so, how's the babes?" format of rock magazine interviews. zollo asks the artists about their inspirations, about the chord changes, about whether it should be done on piano, or guitar, about why that chord ended up being a 7th and so on, without being sycophantic like many interviewers. it's true, that if you are not a songwriter, you may not be too ...
