Soul Mining: A Musical Life

by Daniel Lanois
"In his humble, self-effacing memoir of growing up poor in Canada, Lanois, born in a small Quebec town, describes the difficulties he faced. ... He discusses specific albums, including U2's The Joshua Tree and The Unforgettable Fire, Dylan's Oh Mercy and Time Out of Mind, and Harris's Wrecking Ball. And that makes this a real treat for serious music fans." — Booklist
