Non-Fiction Memoir
From Graham Nash—the legendary musician and founding
member of the iconic bands Crosby, Stills & Nash and The
Hollies—comes a candid and riveting autobiography that
belongs on the reading list of every classic rock
fan.
Graham Nash's songs defined a
generation and helped shape the history of rock and
roll—he’s written over 200 songs, including such classic
hits as "Carrie Anne," “On A Carousel,” "Simple Man," "Our
House," “Marrakesh Express,” and "Teach Your Children." From
the opening salvos of the British Rock Revolution to the
last shudders of Woodstock, he has rocked and rolled
wherever music mattered. Now Graham is ready to tell his
story: his lower-class childhood in post-war England, his
early days in the British Invasion group The Hollies;
becoming the lover and muse of Joni Mitchell during the
halcyon years, when both produced their most introspective
and important work; meeting Stephen Stills and David Crosby
and reaching superstardom with Crosby, Stills, Nash &
Young; and his enduring career as a solo musician and
political activist. Nash has valuable insights into a
world and time many think they know from the outside but few
have experienced at its epicenter, and equally wonderful
anecdotes about the people around him: the Beatles, the
Stones, Hendrix, Cass Elliot, Dylan, and other rock
luminaries. From London to Laurel Canyon and beyond, Wild
Tales is a revealing look back at an extraordinary
life—with all the highs and the lows; the love, the sex, and
the jealousy; the politics; the drugs; the insanity—and the
sanity—of a magical era of music.
