'Fascinating.'
ROUGH TRADE
'Eloquent.'
INDEPENDENT
'Nourishing.'
PITCHFORK
'A proselytiser for the act of songcraft.'
FINANCIAL TIMES
'A smart, funny, relentlessly practical guide.'
GQ
'Delightful.'
ESQUIRE
'Incisigve.'
VULTURE
'A book written by a musician that doesn't relay autobiographical details in some form of (even loose) chronology is unusual; they typically have their own story to tell and that's it, good or bad. Writing a book that goes some way to explaining the process behind their songwriting is something else altogether. Jeff Tweedy, in
How to Write One Song, achieves this.'
