Consider Sweet Soul Music by Peter Guralnick. Recommended by 2 sources.
“Peter Guralnick delivers long, affectionate profiles that stitch artists’ careers, regional scenes, and record‑industry moments into immersive storytelling. The prose is anecdote‑rich and moves at a leisurely pace; readers who like narrative reporting and music lore will find it rewarding. Main value is detailed scene‑setting and life portraiture that make recording sessions and personalities feel present. Main limitation is repetition and limited synthesis—the book accumulates vivid stories but often refrains from stepping back to redraw the larger social or stylistic map.”
