Convinced that songwriting is a literary form unto itself and that those who dedicate their careers to this endeavor are unappreciated as writers, Cash asked 13 others, including David Byrne, Paula Cole, Shawn Colvin, and John Stewart, to join her in compiling this book. With the premise that songs are an accomplished form of storytelling, Cash requested that each author use one of his or her own songs, characters, or themes as the basis for a new prose piece. All of the writers, except her famous father, Johnny Cash, complied with her request. He did, however, submit a story that he had written back in 1953. The selected songs of each of the artists are coupled with their new offerings, providing a surprising unity when read in pairs. A brief biography of each songwriter is also included. Recommended for all libraries, but especially popular culture collections in public libraries. Cynde Bloom Lahey, New Canaan Lib., CTCopyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
