Customer Reviews

A fun, quick read about some of music's greatest artists!

This book is very compact, with one artist per page. I liked reading it because I learned a lot about blues greats that I never knew before. The authors are European, so some of the bands listed were big in Europe without being much of a hit in America and may not be familiar to you. It's not an exhaustive history of music, but makes for a fun and educational read.
