Oh you writers, you're so demanding! OK, we hadn't planned on it, but
here it is, The LRc Store! We will try not to compete with all the other
on-line cyber malls out there, but rather, to offer you things that more
than remotely relate to lyrics and writing and music. Well, we might throw
in an occasional, official, one and only and original LyricsReview.com
T-shirt (or some other neat stuff). Enjoy your shopping pleasure. (Give
me a break a second!)
The
Book Store In
association with Amazon.com 
We have been getting a lot of requests for information on ways
to write better lyrics, how to protect them and where to take them for
promotion, etc. While the links on our link page offer excellent direction
toward the goals, there is still more information out there. One excellent
source is books! Oh yea, they still exist in this cyber age and their not
bad either. We have taken it upon ourselves to be your purveyor of the
written word (not lyrics this time - or maybe). Our job is to identify
those books that contain good and useful information, presented in an understandable
form, which we think could be helpful to you the lyrics writer. We will
do our best and to help us, we've teamed up with Amazon.com,
the worlds largest book store. We will point to the books we think
are really good and Amazon.com
will take care of the rest.
They said we could print this for you to read:

Writing
Better Lyrics
by Pat Pattison |
Joe Terrasi is an 8th grade English teacher from
Chicago. Says he:
Useful book for anyone who writes song lyrics or poetry I found this book when I decided to use song lyrics to teach poetry concepts to my eighth-grade English class. Writing Better Lyrics is an excellent blend of basic lyric theory and helpful writing activities. Pattison illustrates his concepts with examples from great poets as well as contemporary lyricists, and he is not afraid to discuss the poetic mechanics of the lyricist's craft. I highly recommend this book. |

Songwriters
on Songwriting : The Expanded Version
by Paul Zollo |
Review from Dirty Linen magazine --By LAHRI BOND
Paul Zollo has had the good fortune of talking shop with some of the best songwriters from the fields of folk, country, blues, and rock and roll. Collected in this volume are 52 interviews with such early originators as Joan Baez, Paul Simon, Carole King and Gerry Goffin. He also talks with seventies innovators such as Rickie Lee Jones, Van Dyke Parks, Walter Becker and Todd Rundgren as well as modern songsmiths like David Hidalgo and Louie Perez of Los Lobos and Jules Shear. As the title suggests, this book features songwriters exploring their influences, inspirations and craft. |
The
Music Store In
association with Music Boulevard 
There are many lyrics writing artists out there who, at best, are mediocer
to bad. Fortunately, there are quite a few excellent lyrics writing artists.
There are too many for us to list here. So we won't. We WILL
give you a few. These artists are, in our opinion, some the best lyrics
writters out there. If you have not listen to these (or want to try others),
try reading their lyrics while listening to their music. It's a humbling
experience. The're just so good. So, if your ready, just click on the link
for a particular CD and let the nice people at Music
Boulevard do all the rest. We are sure you will be impressed
with these artists. So go ahead, try it!
