Wild Tales

From Graham Nash - the legendary musician and founding member of the iconic bands the Hollies and Crosby, Stills & Nash - comes a candid and riveting autobiography that belongs on the reading list of every music fan.

Graham Nash's songs defined a generation and helped shape the history of rock and roll - he's written more than two hundred songs, including such classic hits as 'Carrie Anne', '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 rock 'n' rolled wherever music mattered. Now he tells his story for the first time- his childhood in run down post-war Manchester; founding the Hollies with schoolfriend Allan Clarke and the string of hits that followed; the incredible sixties London music scene; moving to the States and becoming the lover and muse of Joni Mitchell during the halcyon years, when both produced their most important work; meeting Stephen Stills and David Crosby and reaching superstardom with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; and his enduring career as a 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 epicentre, and equally wonderful anecdotes about the people around him- the Beatles, the Stones, Paul Simon, Mama Cass, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young and other rock luminaries. From London to Laurel Canyon and beyond, Wild Talesis a fascintating account of an extraordinary life - with all the highs and lows; the love, the sex and the jealousy; the politics; the drugs; the insanity - and sanity - of a magical era of music.
