Too Simple.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Songwriter's Handbook (Music Series) (Hardcover)
The Songwriters handbook is an outstanding book all in all, over all.It just has one drawback that weighs the heightened excellency down...and that is the creativity point of view.Tom Hall does a wonderful job of explaining the different ways to approach and take up songwriting, but he also tends to pull your creativity out of you.I bought this book hoping it would help me make my lyrics more creative...you know, make you dig more to reveal the idea and point the song is trying to bring across.The songwriter's handbook wants you to make everything simple and clear.Besides that, this book is a goody.

The Songwriters Handbook by TOM T. HALL,
By Ray Burton (Tallebudgera, Gold Coast, Australia) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Songwriter's Handbook (Paperback)
My name is Ray Burton and a songwriter myself. I am the MAN who wrote "I Am Woman" for/with Helen Reddy. I am always looking to see how other songwriters approach their craft and TOM T. HALL is right on the money with this book. In fact, he thinks much like myself by being very observant of life's situations around you, looking at life through a magnifying glass, describing it as briefly and as cleverly as you are capable of and then putting it into song form. I firmly recommend this book to all songwriters who want to know the fundamentals of great songwritng. Congratulations Tom, I have the utmost respect for your songwriting.

As a singer/songwriter, this book provides me with refreshing and humorous inspirations for the next songs that find their way to my writing space. One has already found it's way as a result of this book.
