Exceptionally vivid and melodic profiles of musicians late in life ... These are keenly observed, deeply felt, and judiciously detailed encounters of genuine communion mixing interviews, biography, and analysis, all lyrically and radiantly composed.
There’s dish here... and plenty of astute observation, but the central point is that many older artists will go offstage only kicking and screaming—a little diminished, true, but full of fight ... A perceptive pleasure for literate music lovers.
