內容簡介

Embark on an unforgettable journey through the sounds and stories that have shaped American music.

Pity the Genius: A Journey through American Guitar Music in 33 Tracks is a deep dive into the often-tumultuous lives of 33 extraordinary guitarists, capturing their brilliance, triumphs, and struggles through biography and musical analysis of seminal tracks. From Arthur Rhames’ volcanic performances to the introspective elegance of Pat Martino, Joel Harrison encapsulates the essence of these musicians in a way that is both intimate and illuminating. The tracks he selects tell the story of American music across time and genre, representing jazz, rock, blues, country, folk, roots music, and more.

"This is really profound, evocative stuff-Joel is not only a great player, he’s a great writer. Everyone should read this book."

-Mike Stern, Jazz Guitarist

"What a wonderful series of essays. While Harrison is writing about guitarists, his subject really is how people deal with the need to make art, what happens at the intersection of creativity and personality. Deep, deep stuff, sometimes profoundly sad, sometimes ecstatic, but always illuminating."

-Peter Watrous, NY Times jazz critic (1986-2000)

Pity the Genius is a must-read for music lovers, guitar fans, and anyone intrigued by the interplay of creativity and human experience.
