Book Reviews of Traveling Music: Playing Back the Soundtrack to My Life and Times
Book Review: Literary Chinese Food
Summary: 5 Stars
To me, Neil Peart's books are like Chinese food. I'll eat the meal, then a few hours later I am pawing through the fridge because I am hungry again. I finished reading Traveling Music last night, and am now pawing through the Internet looking for more things he's written.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, though I do not think that a non-fan would enjoy it as much. Peart is a fascinating individual who has spent most of his life as a very successful drummer. After all that time of focusing on the drums, he's branching out into other methods of expression. This book was a lot more autobiographical than the other one I've read, "Ghost Rider." I enjoyed his anecdotes and the trip he took me on with this book. He's obviously well read, and passionate about reading everything he can get his hands on--and I appreciate that he took the time to share what he's learned in this book.
Summary of Traveling Music: Playing Back the Soundtrack to My Life and Times
The music of Frank Sinatra, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, and many other artists provides the score to the reflections of a musician on the road in this memoir of Neil Peart's travels from Los Angeles to Big Bend National Park. The emotional associations and stories behind each album Peart plays guide his recollections of his childhood on Lake Ontario, the first bands that he performed with, and his travels with the band Rush. The evocative and resonant writing vividly captures the meanderings of a musical mind, leading rock enthusiasts to discover inside information about Rush and the musical inspirations of a rock legend.Rock Books
