CahillI have read a zillion music biz books but this Jerry Wexler (Atlantic Records partner) story goes to top of the list. Never have I been sent to the kindle dictionary more; the writing style is "off the charts" entertaining. Described in the forward as "a holy terror...his rapid fire speech blends a promoters hype with a scholars precision; his lexicon a mixture of the mean streets and graduate library." Truly incredible story. It feels as if Jerry actually wrote this. His voice brilliantly captured. His honesty is refreshing. His contribution to Atlantic Records and American music nearly unmatched. As good a read as I ever experienced. Bravo. 5 Stars!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

One to keep on your book shelf!By YellowkidI simply loved this book; the best music bio Ive ever read. If you like to know all about the music; where the songs came from; who the sidemen were; how the music was produced; you will enjoy this. Much better than the BB King/Ritz collaboration; which. while enjoyable; doesnt hold a candle to this effort. I usually pass books along when Im through with them; but this will stay on my shelf!
