An incredibly useful songwriters resource, nicely written and full of great thinking points.

Format:Paperback
I can't recommend this highly enough. Jason Blume is clearly a man who really, really understands songwriting, and not just how to do it, but how to explain it. His writing style inspires a very thoughtful read, and his advice often gives you ideas of your own. Some of the more technical topics are in need of an update (he doesn't really give fair mention to the amazing possibilities of modern home studios, for instance) But if you are trying to reach untapped potential as a songwriter, then this book will surely stay in your collection as long as you live. I have read it cover to cover twice, and still can open up a random page and feel enlightened.
Jason Blume was at one point living off of cat-food. Whatever he has achieved (that's quite a lot), he has achieved from the ground up. I hope that one day his book can help me to say the same. Definitely worth five stars.

This is a great book. I've been song writing for a couple of years now and this has provided some fantastic insights into giving my writing more of a structured approach. It's accessible and easy to read. There does tend to be a focus on American music in the examples but then Jason Blume is American. If you are a beginner to intermediate level songwriter I reckon this book will be very useful to you

Format:Paperback
Awesome stuff. At the time of writing, this is the most important book for anyone looking to beak into commercial songwriting. This is written by someone who knows what he is talking about, someone who has been there, done it - and had a lot of success. It is very readable, down-to-earth - and very reasonably priced too! No ambitious aspiring songwriter should be without this book.
