This lovingly produced detailed book documents the making of the new Big Big Train album, Woodcut, while also analysing the meaning behind the heartfelt lyrics and the wonderful music it contains. It takes the reader on a journey from the initial sparks of inspiration all the way through the creative process and on to the album’s recording and mixing sessions. Candid in depth interviews with the band members give a behind the scenes peek into how the album was made, and reveal some of the influences and events that shaped the final record. Part history, part creative journal and part cultural commentary, the book has been painstakingly compiled and comes on beautiful top quality art paper, and alongside the text it includes a plethora of previously unseen photographs. It’s a very fitting way to commemorate and document the making of the album, which is surely set to become a classic in the band’s now extensive canon.

One thing you’ve learned
A great tribute and accompaniment to a fine album.
Andy is a really good friend so I knew that this would be excellent. As usual, Kingmaker has done a wonderful job of production and it looks and feels amazing.
