More Than A Number In My Little Red Book Lyrics

Lyrics

Lyrics sheds light on all aspects of lyric writing for music and will make songwriters feel more confident and creative when they tackle lyrics. It's perfect for all songwriters: those who don't like their own lyrics and find them difficult to write, experienced writers looking for a creative edge, and those offering lyrics to set to music in a partnership. Topics include channeling personal experiences into lyrics, overcoming writer's block, the right lyrics for a bridge, the separation between lyrics and poetry, exploring imagery and metaphor, avoiding clichés, and more. The book also offers tips on the various styles of lyrics, from protests, spirituals, and confessionals to narratives and comic songs.

Capsule Overviews of Favorite Albums

The hundreds of albums that I salvaged from Hurricane Katrina are gradually being passed along to a friend, and the paragraphs that I gave him along with the first 399 LPs provide the genesis for Capsule Overviews of Favorite Albums. I have written the stories behind the albums and the recording artists, along with commentary on particular songs, and other works by the same recording artists. My goal is to flesh out information on the greatest music ever recorded, particularly for younger people who didn’t grow up with these records. While not comprehensive, the sections in the book give a good overview of the rock music scene over the past half-century or so, along with musicians in other genres that appeal to me.
