Summary: Better than the Book Jacket implies
Review: Marshall Chapman has succeeded in writing a book that takes the reader along on the adventure of her life as a song writer and performer in Nashville and elsewhere. As you reach the end of each chapter you are compelled to sneak a peek at the next, and so you may stay up all night finishing the book. This book also offers a glimpse into the author's life from her birth into a well-to-do family to her successful career as a prolific writer of country and blues music. Humor and compassion are intimately blended. Highly recommended.

Summary: Great songwriter, great memoir
Review: Marshall Chapman's book is like her music: funny, tough, poignant, real, alive and searingly honest. For those of us who grew up in the south in the 50's and 60's, it's a fond reminder of all that we experienced; for everyone else it's just a darn good read.

Summary: Rhythm and words
Review: Marshall has written a fantastic account of how songs come to be, framing the incredible cast of characters which has surrounded her for all her years in Nashville. The photos of Andy Warhol, Arnold Schwarznegger et al really bring everything to life even more. on the must-have list for anyone interested in the triupmph of rock and roll over good breeding!

Summary: how did I miss her?
Review: Not sure how I've lived in the same region all these years and been a fan of underground country, but hadn't heard of Marshall Chapman! Now I'll be on the look-out! I definitely enjoyed the book and think it's great that she has been able to share all these stories with us. She's lived a very colorful life and it's interesting enough to be enjoyable to others. She gets a little side-tracked at times, but I don't think we expect her to be an award-winning author. Great read!

Summary: Marshall Rocks - I Couldn't Put It Down!
Review: There are not many people who can write about the creative process, music, and coming of age as a woman in the South, but Marshall does it with wit and grace in a way that made me want to turn every page until I was through. Her perspective on songwriting, the music business and Nashville, from someone who was in the studio way back when with Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, and Waylon Jennings while in school at Vanderbilt and still making music after Waylon was gone is incredibly unique.Run, don't walk, to your computer to order this book!
