Review of 'How bluegrass music destroyed my life' on 'GoodReads'
4 stars
The book kinda starts out a bit slow and the pacing is REALLY uneven. But there are some moments that really shine and gives you a neat perspective of Fahey's thoughts but also a fascinating look at what it meant to be a musician during many different decades. I really enjoyed the Antonioni story and the fishing story with Bukka.... Hell, even the Hank Williams story was a interesting read. Lots of German words and references to the occult. I was not much of a fan of his music before reading this, but now having a new perspective on the author has given me an urge go to revisit his discography.
Awesome glimpse into the weird and eccentric parts of America.
