The greatest popular songs have a way of embedding themselves in our memories. You remember a time and a place when you hear that song again. In "Holding the Note", David Remnick explores the lives and work of some of the most influential musicians, songwriters, and performers of the past fifty years. Through intimate portraits, Remnick portrays the unique encounters these creative minds had with the passing of time, which shaped their music into something enduring. From iconic figures like Aretha Franklin, Bruce Springsteen, and Bob Dylan to lesser-known artists, Remnick's writing is marked by a lifetime's passionate attachment to music that has shaped us all. This collection of essays offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives and work of some of the greatest musicians of our time, and how their experiences with time have influenced their music.
