Summary:

Music industry veterans Robbie Robertson, Jim Guerinot, Jared Levine, and Sebastian Robertson celebrate 27 musical legends. Short profiles chronicle personal stories and achievements of extraordinarily talented artists whose innovations changed the landscape of music for generations to come. Carefully compiled like any great playlist, the line-up features originators, rebels, and risk-takers across diverse genres. From Ray Charles to Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry to Bob Dylan, Robertson shares anecdotes about these artists and the influence they had on his own musical journey, as well as the difficult challenges these recording artists faced and the very human foibles that sometimes led to their tragic end. Personal stories of creativity and collaboration -- and the power of music to shine a light on injustice and foster change. Includes 2 CDs of legendary tracks.
