Summary: Excellent writing and great information
Review: This is a book for the true fan of Memphis Soul music. It is full of the information that any fan of this music will appreciate. It is sometimes exhausting to keep up with all of the details, but that is one of the things that make this book so wonderful. There is great insight into the creation of the music including wonderful detail on the Stax house band players and how their techniques were formed and how they evolved as musicians. The evolution of the music business in general is covered with a facts based approach that really strikes a chord (pun intended). There are more facts in this book than anyone could have hoped for. Once drawn into this book, you'll find yourself wondering how some of this music may have slipped past you. Even if you were a diehard fan of the Memphis Soul sound from the start, there is fresh music waiting for you to discover through this book. Thanks to Rob Bowman for devoting so many years of his life to this labor of love.
