Sachs’ fine book is a welcome addition to the living history of American music and a delightful read.   * Booklist * A Life in Pursuit is the first bio of the now 68-year-old American and, smartly, author Sachs understands going in that Burnett's story is that of the music he's touched. . . . Rarely has a music biography been this jam-packed with names of artists and the records they've made—Burnett's footprint is enormous and the minutiae of that maze-like career is recounted expansively here. . . . Sachs has created what will likely remain a definitive account. * MOJO * Sachs artfully weaves together news clips and original interviews to create a valuable context for the musician-producer’s work. * Texas Monthly * In telling this story, Sachs has done roots music a great turn, in fine style. * Songlines Magazine *
