5.0 out of 5 stars Making It in the Music Business, January 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Making It in the Music Business: The Business and Legal Guide for Songwriters and Performers (Little Book Series) (Paperback)

This book is a "must have" for every songwriter and artist out there. Even though it discusses legal issues, it's not full of legalese. I can hardly believe it's by an attorney! But rest assured, it's full of pertinent information written in an easy-to-read style. Don't sign any contract until you've read the entire book.

This review is from: Making It in the Music Business: The Business and Legal Guide for Songwriters and Performers (Little Book Series) (Paperback)

Music business is an area where many dream to enter but also many see their dreams being crushed by outside forces. If you don't want to rise and fall quickly then you must read a guide into this world. This book is exactly that, a comprehensive guide into the closed door world of the music moguls. The book by Lee Wilson is one of the best on the market, with an easy structure and understandable terms for all those who want to engage in a music industry I recommend this book for all those who want an insider's look into the industry.
