"An exciting and heartening mix of memories, music, and inspiration from Wilco front man and New York Times bestselling author Jeff Tweedy, sharing fifty-plus songs that changed his life, the real-life experiences behind each one, as well as what he's learned about how music and life intertwine and enhance each other What makes us fall in love with a song? What makes us want to write our own songs? Do songs help? Do songs help us live better lives? And do the lives we live help us write better songs? After two New York Times bestsellers that cemented and expanded his legacy as one of America's best-loved performers and songwriters, Let's Go (So We Can Get Back) and How To Write One Song, Jeff Tweedy is back with another disarming, beautiful, and inspirational book about why we listen to music, why we love songs, and how music can connect us to each other and to ourselves. Featuring fifty-plus songs that have both changed Jeff's life and influenced his music-including songs by The Replacements, Mavis Staples, The Velvet Underground, Joni Mitchell, Otis Redding, Dolly Parton, and Billie Eilish-as well as thoughts on Jeff's own songs and his "Rememories," which have been such a hit on his popular Substack, Starship Casual, this book is a mix of the musical, the emotional, and the inspirational in the best possible way"--… (altro)

What a fun companion this was for a few days, and such an interesting way to look at music. This is a memoir told through music. Rather than picking favorite songs, Tweedy chooses songs that had great impact on him and/or are meaningful because of the moment he heard them. The stories and explanations are quite brief. I listened to this, read by Jeff, at 1.5x which was a totally comfortable speed, not fast at all. The whole took 3 hours, and it was time very well spent. A must for Wilco fans (and I am definitely one.) ( )

Not a list of his favorite songs, but rather a reflection on songs that have affected him--mostly for good, but there are some he doens't like--throughout his life. Mostly, though, it's about how songs affect us all, and as we read (or listen to) Tweedy's reflections, we see ourselves time and time again. I didn't discover any new gems here--unlike, say, in Nick Hornsby's book about his favorite songs, where I found "Ain't that Enough" by Teenage Fanclub. But Tweedy is such a likable person (and listening to the audiobook really is a must here) that this is a really joyful read--tinged with the deepest sort of sadness, which shows you something about the depth of the man. Two things stand out in that regard, his inclusion of Randy Newman's "In Germany Before the War" and the story he tells of a memorial in Portland that he frequently visited. And, more than anything else, if this book makes people start listening to Lene Lovich and her incredible music, Tweedy will have done a deed worthy of a Nobel Prize. ( )

It's very infrequent that I borrow an (audio)book from the library and, upon finishing it, rush to buy a hard copy just so I can have such a beautiful thing on my shelves. This has been one of those times. Listening to Tweedy talk about these 50 songs is like the best radio show imaginable, mixing music criticism, broader philosophy, and personal anecdote deftly. (The songs themselves aren't there but the publisher did put out a playlist on at least one of the major streaming services.) ( )

New York Times bestselling author and Wilco front man, Jeff Tweedy is back with another fun music inspired journey. Tweedy shares the fifty songs that have impacted his life the most, for better or for worse. He’s very clear that these aren’t what he considers the best fifty songs of all time, that is too daunting of a list to try. Rather this compilation of songs represents moments in his life where the song is crucial to the memory. From childhood to his wedding, music has been involved in every aspect of his life and these fifty songs highlight some important and unforgettable moments. Fantastically narrated by the legend himself, Tweedy’ s charisma shines throughout the recording. He shares the experiences behind each song and how it impacted his own relationship with music and song-writing. Featuring an eclectic list of songs by Otis Redding, Billie Eilish, Deep Purple, The Rolling Stones, and many others; this list is fresh and surprising. Part memoir, part music appreciation, and all-around joy; World Within a Song is a fantastic listen, that will have listeners pausing the audiobook to listen to the many songs referenced. – Erin Cataldi ( )
