Matthew Good is one of rock music's best singer-songwriters and best-kept a multi-platinum-selling recording artist with little exposure outside of Canada. Eric Blair's Ghosts in the Machine tells the story, for the first time, of the life and career of the musician that Billboard has called "Canada's most skilled rocker since Neil Young." It follows Good from his youth spent in Coquitlam, British Columbia; his early days as a folk singer; the formation and disintegration of the Matthew Good Band; and his continuingly successful solo career. Blair takes the reader through the making of such modern Canadian classics as Underdogs, Beautiful Midnight, Avalanche, and Hospital Music.
