Story
On rare occasion, a fascinating artist will endeavor to peel back the curtain and truly reveal themselves: Their craft, their thoughts, their pain, their humanity. But it is even more rare that the artist actually possesses the range of gifts to pull it off. St. Vincent is such an artist. And St. Vincent: Words plus Music is such an experience.

Story
A down-to-earth global pop star. A deeply spiritual, cerebral powerhouse. A famously outspoken introvert. For her millions of fans, and the few unacquainted, defining rock luminary Alanis Morissette is an exercise in dichotomies and nuance. And though her most formidable traits are seemingly at odds with one another, they are, oddly enough, completely emblematic of all of us: complex, conflicting, and, most importantly, ever evolving. With her striking command of language and profound emotional fluency, the 46-year-old covers an enormous amount of personal ground with listeners.

Story
If any artist could brag about his contribution to the pop culture canon, it’s Smokey Robinson. His career is filled with so many “he was there” moments it’s a wonder he doesn’t recall them with the swagger of a conquering hero: songwriting and singing as a teenager in Detroit; co-founding Motown Records with Berry Gordy; creating 26 Top 40 hits with his group The Miracles; helping to spark racial integration of popular music in the 1960s; discovering hitmakers like Diana Ross and the Supremes; penning tunes for a jaw-droppingly diverse group of artists.

Story
This wasn’t the plan. Judge Herman Calvert, 88, never thought he’d outlive his beloved wife, Marie. Yet now he finds himself alone, a grieving widower, desperate for escape from the home they built together, where every turn brings a painful reminder of his late wife. So the judge retreats to his lake cabin in rural Wisconsin, a place where an old man can find peace and solitude. A place where nature can take its course. But something new has moved in.

In his vivid and profound addition to Audible’s Words + Music series, Jonathan Biss, the world renowned pianist and critical Beethoven interpreter of our time, expounds on the spellbinding hold the classical figure and his work possesses over him. Biss doesn’t just love Beethoven more than other music, he loves it more than most things. It’s the lens through which he understands the world, and has been since he can remember. But in Unquiet, Biss reveals the full extent to which Beethoven is also a ruthless lens through which he views himself.

It’s been 10 years since a group of college friends made a vow: that the first to get rich would rent a boat and invite the others on a cruise. Now, the friends find themselves marooned at a luxurious hotel on the Amalfi Coast in Italy. While their boat is being repaired, they can’t help but observe the daily routine of a fellow hotel guest - a mysterious, white-bearded stranger who sits on the veranda each night and smokes one cigarette, sometimes two.

There’s nothing quite like the electricity that flows through the crowd at a concert: from the moment the lights come up on stage to the amazing sense of communal energy, it’s an experience unlike any other. So it's been a painful few months for fans, musicians, and venues as the pandemic upended album releases, festivals, concert tours, and other events. These listens offer a much-needed dose of the rhythm, artistry, and melodies you might be missing.

From casual fan to wanting to consume more Tom M.
I have always been a casual fan of Tom Morello and his work done with rage against the machine. I didn't know much of his life or all of the other music projects he's been involved in but this hour and 45 minutes made me feel as if I was in the room with him that night and I gained a lot more knowledge of who the man Tom Morello is. It was a lot of fun to listen to and learn more about Tom, what a great guitar player, smart guy, and overall good human being. Truly a fantasic storyteller who put together an autobiography that was awesome to experience. I only want to learn and hear more of his work and he also made me want to do more with my life when it comes to contributing to social change in America. Morello truly is inspirational and motivational. He leads by example when it comes to Social justice, so thank you Tom. This audiobook was super original to me as i have listened to hundreds of books but never one done in this fashion where music was part of and helped to tell the story. i hope to find more interesting content like this. A must listen.

Loved it!
I don’t know how I missed RATM (stuck in “classic” rock mode too long, I suppose) but I am definitely now a fan of Tom Morello. He’s smart, witty, eloquent and I love that he’s not afraid to stand up to injustice or stupidity in TPTB. Adding Rage to my Pandora feed. Let’s see where it takes me.

I opened this audible recording at the exact moment I needed to hear Tom Morello’s music and message! It was an unexpected gift that happened on the right day. I laughed, deeply thought and rocked out to his music! It sure helped having a great pair of Beats Headsets, too. Tom, Thank You!

Rock, EDM and A Voice for Freedom and Justice.
“Feels like we’re living in Pompeii and the only Boat out is The Titanic!” Says Morello in this combination of Story and Music from the Minetta Lane Series, but our response must be to live life, play loud Rock and Roll and lift up the Voices of those who don’t have them! Fight the Power! It was an amazing night to hear. Too, I was amazed by the diversity of his career, the people he’s played with and the places he’s played. From The NOLA Ninth Ward to Skid Row and Sing Sing Prison. From Johnny Cash to Heavy D, Springsteen and Paul McCartney. And from Rage against The Machine to Audioslave and Nightwatchman, his guitar and his voice are incredibly powerful. His rendition of Ghost of Tom Joad should be his Anthem for His Truth is Marching On! Five Stars!

Very well done one man show. We learn about Tom the person, activist, and musician. I am not familiar with all his music, and I still found it enjoyable. I think this would be a good listen for anyone who enjoys one man shows.

Something everyone needs to hear
From a small theater in New York, Tom's performance inspired this revolutionary that was sitting on a dock in Seattle. An inspiring message of freedom and potential that each of us have within us. "The world isn't going to change itself, that's up to you."
