Telling Stories is a clear, honest, and unusually frank rock memoir, as described by The Times. The book delves into the highs, lows, joys, agonies, and stories of being in a rock band, as shared by front man and survivor, Tim Burgess.
From The Charlatans to Madchester to Britpop, the book takes on the world of rock music. It includes armed robbery, smuggling, serious fraud, near and actual death experiences, divorce, industrial cocaine consumption, and magnificent cameos from Madonna, Alan McGee, Ronnie Wood, Joe Strummer, LA drug dealer Harry The Dog, and Joaquin Phoenix.
Described as a minor classic by Q magazine, Telling Stories is a must-read for fans of rock star tales. For those who enjoyed Life by Keith Richards and Bit of a Blur by Alex James, this book is considered one of the finest music books of recent times. It tells a story of achievement and survival, from London to LA.
