I write books and music & write about books and music. If you can't find me, look under a pile of paperbacks or guitar picks. slimchancepress[at]gmail.com

My review of Steven Hyden's Long Road: Pearl Jam and the Soundtrack of a Generation is in this month's Performer Magazine.

I really enjoyed this book - I was 10 when Pearl Jam's Ten came out in 1991, and it was one of the first CDs I bought, so I am pretty much the target reader of this book. But I think even if you weren't all-in on PJ, there's a lot to like about it. 

Steven Hyden is one of the best music critics working today, and it's a blast to read whatever he writes - I highly recommend this one.

I write books, songs, and this bio! Likely to be crushed by my TBR pile.
