Anything by Dan Levitin:

This is Your Brain on Music (PBS did a documentary based on the book with Sting)

The World in Six Songs


Levitin attempts to answer the need for music in all cultures and how it affects human nature. Obviously a musical enthusiast, he casts an analytic eye on the nature of music using he latest medical gear, namely the functional fMRI

Oliver Sachs:

Musicophilia.

Another great book by a Psychologist: fascinating stories and insights into the need for music.
