On the Record

A memoir and CD set with Shepard’s in_x0002_sights on the world and an intimate look at his own life. His highly opinionated com_x0002_mentary on such topics as religion, abor_x0002_tion, war, why people lie, politics, fear, death, education, sex and marriage are thought-provoking and his easygoing mu_x0002_sic offers a striking contrast to Shepard’s passionate commentary. —Publishers Weekly
