Every great song has a fascinating backstory. In Anatomy of a Song,
based on the ongoing Wall Street Journal column, writer and music
historian Marc Myers brings to life five decades of music through
oral histories of forty-five transformative songs woven from
interviews with the artists who created them. Bringing readers
inside the making of a hit, Anatomy of a Song includes the Isley
Brothers' memorable song Shout, Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love,
Janis Joplin's Mercedes Benz, and R.E.M's Losing My Religion. After
receiving his discharge from the army in 1968, John Fogerty does a
handstand and reworks Beethoven's Fifth Symphony to come up with
Proud Mary. Joni Mitchell remembers living in a cave on Crete with
the mean old daddy who inspired her 1971 hit Carey. Elvis Costello
talks about writing (The Angels Wanna War My) Red Shoes in ten
minutes on the train to Liverpool. And Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Rod
Stewart, the Clash, Jimmy Cliff, Roger Waters, Stevie Wonder, Keith
Richards, Cyndi Lauper, and many other leading artists reveal the
emotions, inspirations, and techniques behind their influential
works. Anatomy of a Song is a love letter to the songs that have
defined generations of listeners.
