"It makes complete sense that a memoir by a respected rock veteran would read like a favorite album, with each chapter playing like one great storytelling track after another. Although, in this case, Peter Wolf’s stories challenge the usual rock star narrative to include his experiences with art (he’s a painter), philosophy, books, short marriage to a Hollywood star and even a very brief NPR mention. But don’t fret, musician stories abound, including mentions of Keith Richards, Merle Haggard, and the most intimate, loving portrayals of blues musicians John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters that I have ever read."
