Review of A Musician's Life: T-Bone Burnett
Gorgeous piece. Thoughtful and engaging, great mix. Burnett has so many wonderful things to say about music and art, and life. This is a gem. It reminds me, in form and content, of the series David Schulman produces about musicians "In Their Own Words." If you appreciate that series, listen to this one, and vice-versa.
