Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-28 00:00:00 Ryan Caldwell An interesting book but I didn't like the divisions of Brott's lives in music into three parts. I felt it was too cut up and I just wanted to read a good biography. However, it is still very informative and I learned a lot from reading this book.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-12-26 00:00:00 Gregory Wynne Tommy Sands and his songs have often been voices of peace amidst anger, and healing amidst conflict, in places from Belfast to Sarajevo to the Middle East. In addition to his songs, Sands has written a book about his life, called Songman. Though it does indeed talk some of his travels, the most vivid parts of his narrative have to do with his early days in Rostrevor in County Down, his choices as a young man to follow music rather than violence, and his work following music and working for peace in Northern Ireland. This is an excerpt from a longer story -- which also includes thoughts on Sands' music -- at A Traveler's Library. To read more, please visit Destination: County Down, Northern Ireland
