Serious Read for a Serious Musician
You want Success through music? Read alot about the industry and stories from other musicians who have travelled the road before you have? This might help you understand further to what you need to do.
I've been playing music for 8 years, with many of my releases released over Europe and in NY,USA. I'm planning the next journey and you should too. Pick up this book and enjoy the wealth of tips this book has to offer.

An OK book for starting out
I returned this book after I received it. It was not for me, it is for a student of music or the new songwriter. Very basic overview.

Good overview of Big Music, but...
This book gives an extensive overview of the music industry from the perspective of experienced insiders, with plenty of financial data and examples. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn about the music industry and the financial rewards that come with success. Unfortunately, it dwells on major record labels and hit-producing artists - without really going in to how they got there, "indie" labels, or any guidance for the aspiring musician.
