"[A] bit like Carlos Castaneda's shamanist tales, a bit like tween fiction, a bit like websites on, say, sonic healing through principles of sacred geometry and--at its best--an enactment of epiphanies told in the ping-pong dialogue. . . . It's a book that stands happily against traditional music pedagogy and canned notions of achievement. This is to its great credit." --Ben Ratliff,
The Washington Post "Wooten, bassist for Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, delivers a remarkable fable in which music is dying. . . . This allegorical foray into the power of music is both heartfelt and wildly imaginative. Music lovers will adore this sparkling manifesto." --
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Part exhortation, part New Age-ish memoir, part philosophical treatise, Wooten's book is full of surprising and illuminating lessons. . . . [An] always rewarding delight for music fans of a mystical bent." --
