Book Description
Song man is the endearing sequel to Will Hodgkinson’s Guitar Man, wherein our hero, having learned to play guitar (badly) in six months, endeavors to unlock the process of songwriting and ultimately record a single. Featuring pithy, humorous, and illuminating one-on-one songwriting lessons with Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, Ray Davies of the Kinks, Andy Partridge of XTC, Arthur Lee of Love, Chan Marshall of Cat Power, Bob Stanley of Saint Etienne, Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals, and a host of others who run the gamut from unknown muses to cult icons to superstars-including Hodgkinson’s lovable crew of ne’er-do-wells first introduced in Guitar Man–Song Man is at once an investigation into the most ephemeral of arts and a highly readable journey of discovery.
