I like to get music books for Christmas, and was browsing the pertinent section in Barnes & Noble this morning (almost as big as their sadly waning CD section, where boxed sets have now disappeared in favour of Beatles souvenirs). I like the look of Sylvie Simmons's 'I'm Your Man: The Life of Leonard Cohen', the book of Will Oldham interviews 'Will Oldham on Bonnie "Prince" Billy', and the graphic novel about The Carter Family 'Don't Forget This Song' by Frank M Young and David Lasky.
Anyone read any of these? Anyone else got a Xmas music book wish? Or a recommendation? There seem to be more reference books around now than anyone could possible wish to refer to. All those 1001 Songs/Albums You Have to Listen To Before You Die books make me want to throw.
