David Byrne, 'How Music Works' ($15.99, Kindle edition)

David Byrne was in the Talking Heads in the 1970s and 1980s, but he's also worked with in film, photography, opera, and nonfiction writing. He's still searching for new creative challenges, which is more than you can say about most aging rock musicians. Byrne's new book, "How Music Works," reads more like an autobiography than a how-to make it in the music business tome. "How Music Works" is a journey of sorts, with a knowledgeable guide chock-full of personal insights and charm. Don't miss it.
