Devoted fans have followed Guided by Voices for decadesand critics around the world have lauded the band's brain trust, Robert Pollard, as a once-in-a-generation artist. Pollard has been compared by theNew York Timesto Mozart, Rossini, and Paul McCartney (in the same sentence) and everyone from P. J. Harvey, Radiohead, R.E.M., the Strokes, and U2 has sung his praises and cited his music as an influence.

In this book, James Greer, an acclaimed music writer and formerSpineditorwho also played in the band for two yearsprovides unparalleled insight and complete access to the workings of Pollard's muse.
