The author includes interesting stories behind Joels upbringing. albums. and different band relationships through the years. I enjoyed it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. briskly paced. with an impressive scope!By TrixDisclaimer: I received a free print copy from ECW Press in exchange for an honest review. as part of their Shelf Monkey program.Im a longtime Plaskett fan who doesnt get to hear much about him in my native U.S.. so I devoured this book happily! OKane deftly balances biographical information. entertaining anecdotes. analysis of Plasketts songwriting and production processes. and the greater context of life in (and. frequently. out of) the Maritimes. While a love of East Coast Canadian bands will maximize reading enjoyment. NOWHERE WITH YOU (like Plasketts own wide-ranging oeuvre) should appeal to anyone interested in great music.
