I liked Have Not Been the Same by Barclay, and it looks like this approach will be similar -- thoughts and viewpoints of those who surrounded, influenced, or were influenced by the band may actually be more interesting than insight the band can offer. I often find the person doing the creating can have a hard time articulating the why or the how, and their too humble to see who their making an influence.

That said, I'd like a second book at that really gets into the technical specifics around the band -- why they chose different producers, studios, what was arranged in the studio and how, musical and lyrical inspirations...though I think the appeal of that book would be much, much narrower.

Now I have to go post on the FB group about all the cheap Hip CDs I found at WalMart.
