Product Description

Metro, Toronto

"Part biography, part travelogue, part music history, Peart makes you aware that a full life should be answering...'Now, what?'"

Product Description

The music of Frank Sinatra, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, and many other artists provides the score to the reflections of a musician on the road in this memoir of Neil Peart's travels from Los Angeles to Big Bend National Park. The emotional associations and stories behind each album Peart plays guide his recollections of his childhood on Lake Ontario, the first bands that he performed with, and his travels with the band Rush. The evocative and resonant writing vividly captures the meanderings of a musical mind, leading rock enthusiasts to discover inside information about Rush and the musical inspirations of a rock legend.

4.0 out of 5 stars A stream-of-consciousness traveling guide, Mar 22 2005

By	Morgan Fisher (Waterloo, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Like some others who have reviewed Peart's work, I'll admit up front that I'm a fan of his music and lyrics. And, while I enjoyed Traveling Music, I must admit that if I were not a fan, the book probably would have not generated the same interest.

Peart's style is somewhat free association / stream of consciousness, and though he's a master wordsmith, his style takes some getting used to. Like his other publicly-available works, he draws on letters and other correspondence to friends as a small glimmer into his personal life. At first, I dismissed the letters as filler, but the more I read, the more I understood the processes by which he develops his writing style.

His oft-repeated disdain of fame, however, is growing tiresome. Neil, if you don't like fame, then return to obscurity and shaddap about it.

Despite my reservations, I still enjoyed it immensely, and hope that this generates an even wider audience for his written work.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lacking direction, Sep 11 2004

By A Customer

I will first and foremost admit I am a diehard Peart/RUSH fan. Saying that, I must honestly say, this is not Neil's greatest work. I was expecting more insight regarding his influences growing through his life. Not necessarily reviews of cds he had brought along with him. He does devote a lot of attention to his fondness to Frank Sinatra, though. This was doldrum writing with a few bright moments accentuated with a few true gems. It develops a rythym in the begining, with the flashbacks, but seems to lose it shortly after. I couldn't find where he was going, and often wondered if the writing was simply transcribed from a tape deck of his thoughts during the journey. It seemed to me, there was no real direction.
I was confused, but delighted at the last part of the book, when he reverted to his 'African Adventures'. This did seem to be used as filler, but thankfully, was more akin to his style in 'The Masked Rider'.
Sadly, this smacks of Peart trying to recoup all the money he spent during his tragic hiatus, but schilling his name. I don't mean to sound negative. The band and this man have provided me with many, many years of fantastic entertainment. This however was not one of Neil Peart's greatest works. None the less; I recommend it for true fans. And remain waiting for any future writing Mr. Peart has to offer enthusiastically.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fastest 400 hundred pages I ever read, Sep 8 2004

By A Customer

I Spent my sunny Labour day weekend savouring this book. I think Neil has got it figured out with this one. A book to be enjoyed by the reader. I spent a lot of time while reading it thinking who I would pass it on to. It would appeal to a lot of people. those who love music,travelling, nature, philosophy.
Admittedly I am somewhat biased having been a fan of the man and his lyrics (poetry) for some 30 years. Also of his very impresssionable positive human spirit. I would recommend this book to a young musician, a reminising baby boomer or any one appreciatve of quality music -or for that matter quality life. Buy this book and enjoy a few quality days reading.
