 Rating:  - Great look inside the mind of a great songwriter!I picked up this book on a recomendation. And it was well worth it! Very well done! A good look into the life and talent of a songwriter! Rich Rating: - Tunesmith is pure inspiration for songwriters!I have been a professional songwriter and producer for many years, but this book gave me so much inspiration it made it all feel fresh and new again. Of course Jimmy Webb's track record as a successful songwriter gives him plenty of credibility as an authority, but that is no guarantee he can write a book. Well, he certainly can!

I am ... Read More Rating: - PricelessThis book is jam packed full of practical information. I find something literally on every page. It is also inspirational. It helps to define and unlock ideas that are floating around in my head. It is one of the best music books I have ever read. I am in the process of reading it for the second time.
