The Top 30 Rock Books I Own: #4 Feel Like Going Home

Title: Feel Like Going Home
Author: Peter Guralnick
Year Originally Published: 1971
Edition I Own: HarperPerennial 1994

What They Say: 1) New Musical Express, Rolling Stone 2) The editors of The Rolling Stone Record Guide (the first red one): "The essay on (Charlie) Rich is one of the best insights into the middle-level star's failures and delusions available anywhere."

Tuomala's Attempt At A Take: I think I bought this at the now-defunct Baxter's Books in downtown Minneapolis. I have fond memories of reading this while on the bus home from a crappy job. Books and music have always been good forms of salvation in times of crapiness.
