We all know music can affect you in profound ways, but what inspires the people who create the music Author Dan Kimpel -- who has interviewed virtually every major songwriter in the history of American popular music -- has observed that many successful songwriters are often able to tap their spirituality for inspiration. Electrify My Soul: Songwriters and the Spiritual Source explains these through interviews and observations with Melissa Etheridge, Paul Williams and many others. Although the songwriters span a diversity of practices including Shambhala Buddhism, Orthodox Judaism, Fundamental and New Thought Christianity, Evangelical Agnosticism and Native American beliefs, Dan explains in his introduction that the subject is spirituality, not religion.
