Review :
[Schneider's] study is sure to become a key piece in the survey of popular music history ... Schneider beautifully weaves in the complicated relationships, both professional and personal, of the various artists who have come to define the sound of 20th-century American popular music (yes, American). Publishers Weekly "The first comprehensive book, long overdue, on Canadians' impact on contemporary American pop music ... This is a refreshing addition to pop-music literature as well as to the often neglected-by-Americans corpus of Canadiana." Booklist Online "Whispering Pines is a busy, striving survey, a latticework of cultural history, microbiography and music journalism ... Schneider's delivery is that kind of chatty, energetic rock journalism of the old-time variety." The Globe and Mail "Schneider presents a thoughtfully researched history and analysis of Canadian songwriters, their geographical and social origins and their career paths." Canadian Geographic "Whispering Pines works not just as approachable one-stop-shopping for those with a passing interest in the subject[s], but as a long overdue contextual framework for the tenants in this country's tower of song." Macleans.ca "It is clear [Schneider] knows his subject, and the book is a treasure trove of trivia." Winnipeg Free Press "Schneider's collection of stories puts a fresh spin on Canadian artists whose lives and accomplishments haven't lacked for media coverage and analysis." Edmonton Journal "A fine piece of writing that condenses and contextualizes five decades of music into an entertaining and thoughtful document ... Jason Schneider offers a concise, brilliantly organized and original take on Canadian cultural influence." Literary Review of Canada
