“Memphis had Sun Records, Bakersfield had the Bakersfield sound, Chicago had Bloodshot Records, the ethos of alt country, and more. Co-founder Miller’s book recounts both his personal and professional lives, intertwined accounts of the little label that rocked the roots music world. It, and he, championed newer artists such as Neko Case, Robbie Fulks, Alejandro Escovedo, Justin Townes Earle, and Old 97’s as well as its many compilation albums of lesser known talents that are treasured by any fans. Miller goes into detail about his, and their, trials, triumphs, and tribulations. Over 300 pages, including six must read appendices, every page a treasure. Not just a must read, it’s the most engrossing book since Tamara Saviano's Without Getting Killed Or Caught: The Life and Music of Guy Clark (2016). Reading it brought back a lot of memories, and gives so many backstories to the hundred or so Bloodshot albums that you would have to pry from my cold, dead hands.”
