The Words and Music of John Lennon (The Praeger Singer-Songwriter Collection)
Ben Urish, Ken Bielen

Praeger Publishers, 2007

Despite John Lennon's immense popularity, little attention has been paid to the overall efforts of his work apart from the Beatles. Yet his solo artistry not only illuminates what he gave to the Beatles (and what the Beatles experience gave to him), but also constitutes a significant contribution to popular music in general. Lennon was able to fuse experiments in technology, instrumentation, lyrics, and musical form into recordings that were ...

Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers

Backbeat Books, 2003

The best book I've found for the singer-songwriter
I picked this up last week while browsing in a bookstore on a trip to Pasadena, CA, and what a great find! I have dozens of books on songwriting and recording, and a few on performing, but this is the best book I've found on the special job of creating, performing, and recording your own music. Some key benefits: 1. Good depth -- At some 200 pages, the scale is just right -- you can actually ...

Praeger Publishers, 2007

GRACEFUL NOTES
A big follower of the words and music of Paul Simon since 1967, with over 15 bound volumes of articles and notes and many other published books, I was delighted to see that Dr. Bennighof would be putting out a book on Paul's songs--that is both lyrics and music and their intertwining. I immediately placed a pre-order with Amazon but had to wait and wait until the publishing date. Wow, was I ...

American Troubadours: Groundbreaking Singer-songwriters Of The 60s

Mark Brend

Diane Pub Co, 2004

Excellent introduction to artists who shouldn't be forgotten
Some of the artists showcased in this slim volume have devoted cult followings now; others are still unjustly in the shadows. All are uniquely gifted songwriters & performers whose work deserves to be better known. I knew very little about some of them, even though I was a young teenager during their prime; but after finishing this book, I sought out several of their CDs & was not disappointed. ...

The Words and Music of Tom Waits (The Praeger Singer-Songwriter Collection)
Corinne Kessel

Praeger Publishers, 2008

Tom Waits's distinctive persona, his bourbon-soaked growl, and his incorporation of musical styles from blues to experimental to vaudeville have secured for him a top-shelf cult following and an extraordinary critical respect. His raw form of expression and his evocative lyrics work together to form an emotional chronicle of society's misfits, outcasts, and lowlifes. He is not the sort of composer to chase after shiny red fire trucks to awesome ...

The Words and Music of Sting (The Praeger Singer-Songwriter Collection)
Christopher Gable

Praeger Publishers, 2008

Sting has successfully established himself as one of the most important singer-songwriters in Western popular music over the past twenty years. His affinity for collaborative work and disparate musical styles has pushed his music into an astonishing array of contexts, but no matter what the style or who the collaborator, Sting's voice always remains distinct, and this fact has earned him success amongst a correspondingly broad audience. Songs ...
