SONG: The World's Best Songwriters on Creating the Music That Moves Us a compilation of 100 INTERVIEWS, 1984-2006 . Writer's Digest Books.

"In these interviews conducted by various scribes for American Songwriter magazine, songsmiths as diverse as Lyle Lovett, Ray Charles, Beck, Burt Bacharach, Roger Miller, Fountains of Wayne, and Kenny Chesney make this a broad if not particularly deep survey of how current pop music is devised and an excellent acquisition for pop-music collections." -American Library Association
