Songstory - by Randy Thomas (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

If Butterfly Kisses Is What I'm Remembered For When I'm Dead-I Can Live With That.

Songstory, written by Grammy Award-winning songwriter Randy Thomas, is a writer's room narrative of "Butterfly Kisses," "Why'd You Come In Here Lookin' Like That?" and other great songs.

Sharing his intimate knowledge of the Christian Music industry, Randy Thomas covers the music of the Jesus Movement, bringing Sweet Comfort Band and ALLIES alive again. Songstory is also a backstage pass to Shania Twain's transformation from a nightclub singer to an international star.

Using songs as musical signposts of the journey, Randy Thomas infuses healthy doses of irony and laughter into the threads of Songstory. In addition, this Grammy award-winning songwriter shares his knowledge about songwriting, including his best tips throughout the book.

Beneath it all, the music, the industry, the relationships, lies an even bigger story--the unfolding of God's unstoppable grace.

"I remember saying it nearly 20 years ago: "Randy, you should write a book." Apparently, I wasn't the only one. And now, after all these years, he has! I could not be more delighted. As you begin to read his stories, insights, perspectives, and rabbit trails, I'm convinced you'll be delighted too. Tolle Lege!" - DR. GEORGE GRANT

"Had I known Randy was this insightful and witty about music, songwriting, and behind the scenes stories, I would have stayed in a band with him for another ten years!" - BRYAN DUNCAN
