Synopsis
‘After writing one of the most delightful recent Bob Dylan books, Matthew Ingate widens his scope to take in a variety of artists. Blending deep musical analysis with charming anecdotes, he particularly shines when looking at recent works by artists whose hits dried up decades ago. Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday, too is a slow read–but only because you’ll be constantly queuing up the music Ingate writes about to hear what he hears.’ Ray Padgett, Pledging My Time: Conversations with Bob Dylan Band Members, Cover Me: The Stories Behind the Greatest Cover Songs of All Time
Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday, too is a collection of essays on music from around the world, and the ages.
Through examining works by Bob Dylan, Fiona Apple, Randy Newman, Ángela Aguilar, Courtney Barnett, John Prine, Sabrina Carpenter, Charles Aznavour, Mavis Staples, Muddy Waters and more, Matthew Ingate explores themes of time, freedom, class, race, gender, joy, love, language, creativity and the human condition. Today Tomorrow and Yesterday, too is ultimately a love letter not only to the power of music and the people who make it, but to all those it inspires to make a better world.
