Editorial Reviews
Review
"An inveterate self-promoter, Martin Atkins is, as usual, talking a mile a minute. But it's hard to resist being charmed by his rapid-fire banter, because as always, he has plenty of impressive accomplishments to tout." —Chicago Sun Times
"Tour:Smart functions as an uncensored companion text to [Martin Atkins'] classroom teachings." —Chicago Tribune
"In my six years of college, Martin Atkins was the man to clarify all the other instructors' psychobabble! He prepped me for the industry in a single semester." —Michelle Cho, PETA
"This is not advice. This is the Holy Grail." —Kraze
"If you are a music business major at university, this should be on your syllabus. —Blogcritics Magazine
"Atkins embodies the entrepreneurial spirit with a unique merger of creativity and business sense"—Dr. David Herrera, Belmont University
"Having been a part of seminal bands like Pigface, Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, Killing Joke, and Public Image Limited, when Atkins talked about the business of music, people listen." —Richi Corelli, soundsect.com
"The ultimate touring manual. . . . Tackles every conceivable aspect of getting the show on the road in a highly readable style." —Mojo
