By nearly any metric, Genesis is one of the most successful,
influential, and enduring rock bands of all time. Naturally, the band's
fifty plus year career has also given rise to all kinds of related
literature: some critical, some biographical, and some purely
informational. That's all well and good, but what if these didn't have
to be separate ideas? What if one book could somehow do it all? Play Me
My Song is a blurring of the traditional boundaries of musical
literature, approaching the music and history of Genesis from a
multitude of angles in order to become something that is at once both
truly unique and deeply comprehensive. Whatever kind of book you want to
read about Genesis, this one is it. Comprised of extensive essays in
varying styles about every single song and album in the entire Genesis
catalogue, Play Me My Song blends song histories, musical analysis,
critical reviews, autobiographical tales, the fun of countdowns, and a
dash of pure silliness to create something extraordinary. It is, in
essence, a book that sounds like Genesis. And the biggest book ever
published on Genesis. Featuring: * All the songs: Coverage of all 197
songs and 15 studio albums Genesis ever produced, plus more! * In the
band's own words: A treasure trove of exhaustively researched quotes
from the band members, conveniently aggregated into one place! *
Counted down: Presented in worst-to-first order, you never know which
song will pop up next!
