Terkel’s books are usually quite excellent oral histories where the reader never explicitly sees the questions being asked. The actual questions being written detracted from the work. This book would be greatly appreciated by musicians and those who love music theory. There were some interesting parts, perspectives and facts but it drags at times when there was no familiarity with some artists and music scenes.
