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!
