The Single Best Book on Songwriting
“Writing Better Lyrics" by Pat Pattison is the single best volume on the craft of writing songs. End of discussion!
When I first started writing songs as a pastime a few years ago, I asked veteran songwriter, Steve Key, if there was a book out there explaining the craft of songwriting. Without hesitation, he recommended Pat Pattison's book. Having read and used Pattison's book, I fully agree with Steve.
Songwriting is a craft that can be learned. Let me repeat that. Songwriting is a craft that can be learned. "Yes," some talent is necessary, but it is mostly a craft that can be learned. Given the prevalence of inane lyrics that fill the airways, it's a craft that many should take more time to study.
If you enjoy New American Folk Music, check out some of my music at www.harleystringband.com. Check out Steve’s website as well-- www.stevekey.com.
Thanks for reading.
