ReviewsPraise for How Music Works "Brilliantly original" --The New York Times Book Review "Fascinating" --Booklist "Extraordinary" --The Guardian "Dazzling" --The Onion A.V. Club "Essential" --The San Francisco Chronicle "Absorbing" --The Independent, "A decidedly generous book--welcoming, informal, digressive, full of ideas and intelligence--and one has the pleasant sense that Byrne is speaking directly to the reader, sharing a few confidences he has picked up over the years." -- The Washington Post "David Byrne is a brilliantly original, eccentric rock star, and he has written a book to match his protean talents . . . What's best about [it] is that Byrne concentrates on his own experience, from a teenage geek splicing layers of guitar feedback on his father's tape recorder (he had a mild self-diagnosed case of Asperger's syndrome, he writes) to arty if neo-primitive rock star with the early Talking Heads at CBGB to increasingly sophisticated, globe-wandering art-rocker, happily collaborating with all manner of world musicians and pop-technological innovators." -- The New York Times Book Review "Byrne explores a whole symphony of argument in this extraordinary book with the precise, technical enthusiasm you'd expect from the painfully bright art school-educated son--born in Scotland, raised in the States--of an electrical engineer, occasionally mopping his fevered brow in the crestfallen manner of a nineteenth-century poet." -- The Guardian " How Music Works is as engaging as it is eclectic: a buoyant hybrid of social history, anthropological survey, autobiography, personal philosophy, and business manual, sometimes on the same page . . . Even for the most ardent explorers (and Byrne is one) this is some seriously unknowable territory." -- The Boston Globe "By all accounts, Byrne's style and energy are as apparent on the page as on the stage." -- New York Magazine "Highly recommended--anyone at all interested in music will learn a lot from this book." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Byrne's erudite and entertaining prose reveals him to be a true musical intellectual, with serious and revealing things to say about his art." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Endlessly fascinating, insightful, and intelligent." -- Booklist (starred review) "Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, Jay-Z, even Daniel Lanois have all given us books in recent years. And they've all been interesting and worth reading. But none of them is as good as David Byrne's book . . . He weaves his account of the evolution of music from animals to humans and the history of changes in the way music studios work into the most accessible and unpretentious narrative of such a story that I have yet come across." -- The Globe and Mail
