Hotter Than a Match Head

“Damn if you won’t be unable to put the damn thing down … People send me these books all the time and I skim them and toss them. But not Hotter Than A Match Head: Life On The Run With The Lovin’ Spoonful, because of those songs.” — The Lefsetz Letter“Whew. It’s a wild ride and Boone’s has some serious storytelling talents (and got himself into some hairy situations) … Hotter Than a Match Head tells it all in bright, colorful fashion. I mean, we all believe in magic, right?” — BLURT Magazine“This book sheds some much-needed light on one of the classic American bands of the 1960s and forces an honest reappraisal of their music … after reading this I’m even more of a fan, which makes Hotter Than a Match Head a great rock memoir in my book.” — The Rock and Roll Chemist“Unlike most memoirs of this type, it pays a lot of attention to the records, songs, and how they were recorded — and not just the hits, but all of the album tracks as well.” — RichieUnterberger.com
