Why read it?
1 author picked Help! The Beatles, Duke Ellington, and the Magic of Collaboration as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’m a sucker for a good Beatles’ read, and Help! delivered.
It’s my favorite type of music history book: a new lens (songwriting) through which to view a subject I don’t know well (Duke Ellington) alongside one I’m well-acquainted with (the Fabs).
Brothers’ book is packed with detailed explanation of the artist’s songwriting, arranging, publishing, and production processes. His insights taught me a tremendous amount about the larger context and process of songcraft and collaboration.
