Diary of a POLL Star: what are your most/least favorite books by musos?

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

but was really stuck by The Delines' Colfax, which he wrote for the solo voice of RF's other singer, Amy Boone

Amy Boone was a touring replacement for Vlautin's first choice female vocalist, her sister Deborah, who was pregnant and couldn't travel the dives that extensively (RF was touring behind an album about a woman and a man, kind of a story-cycle, so they needed to recruit a woman), and later "The Delines was formed by Vlautin around Amy Boone. He wrote their 2014 album Colfax with Boone’s voice in his head." Saga here, w some vids:

These were the same Boones who ran the Damnations, cowpunk y'all Gotta dig up my ancient CDs---o hell yeah, here they are as The Damnations TX, on Half Mad Moon, 1999, Sire Records! That's a good 'un. Thanks James, had totally forgotten about them 'til you inspired me to finally do a little homework. The Delines and Richmond Fontaine and Vlautin as novelist just seemed so on their own roadmap that I never thought to check for the usual muso grid.

Oh and it's Piper Laurie, not Laurie Piper, duh
