Customer Reviews

Very good book about the creative process5
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 look at the creative process and how different people approach it.
