Description

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.

Graham Nash tells his story succinctly, focusing candidly on his simple take on his profound love for the music and his lengthy career first with the Hollies and then with Crosby, Stills, Nash and sometimes Young. The Kindle version includes many audio files of his songs in short clips which were an unexpected and delightful listen while reading. His sensitive portrayal of his loves, his band mates and his family give us peak into what it was really like to travel through the years, the song writing, and the ups and downs of a career that spans nearly 5 decades. He seems especially grateful to having been given a platform to promote philanthropy on a variety of political and ecological world issues. He was especially revealing about his coming to America, relationship with Joni Mitchell and his friends, managers, crew members, other musicians and supporters along the way. One can tell he has a deep respect for those that helped him build such a grand career. His unabiding love for his long-time wife, Susan Sennet and his 3 children is an inspiration. He treats the drug culture that he partook in with a matter-of-factness that includes the pain and anguish of watching David Crosby struggle with addiction and recovery and the profound affect it had on him personally, on the music and the band. This was one of my favorite rock and roll biographies that seemed in-tune with, and authentic to the vibe and music that CSN and CSNY produced, that was the backdrop for my teen years! Less gossipy than most books of this nature, Graham Nash is not only a superlative song-writer extraordinaire but we find him to be an artist, painter, sculptor, technology inventor and humanitarian. What a great bio. Well done Mr. Nash!
