Critical Praise
"The best history of 60's soul music anyone has written or is likely to write, but it is much more than that." -Robert Palmer, New York Times
"A welcome exploration of one of the richest veins in American popular culture. It is Peter Guralnick's considerable accomplishment to have compellingly recalled this movement, with all its glories, eccentricities, and spiky contradictions....This is a terrific read and an important book." -David Armstrong, San Francisco Examiner
"The definitive history....Sweet Soul Music is at once a scholarly work and a whole lotta fun." -Daniel Brogan, Chicago Tribune
"Buy this book! In years to come it will seem like a bargain compared with all the wonderful records which you will have to buy after reading the vivid accounts of Sweet Soul Music." -Elvis Costello
