Chapter & Verse(ChorusVerse): or (Another Dickhead) On the Road

4.5/5 ( ratings)

Tony Wright has been on this road for twenty odd years. The emphasis is on the ”odd”. At 15 he was being courted by the world's biggest music publishers & in his late 20s he conquered the underground DIY music scene, supposedly laying the foundation for future successes. Going solo in his early 30s has led him on many different side roads on and off of the beaten track. A track as worn as the cliche that this is a book detailing some of the strange journeys he has taken. A collection of myriad excursions, some across Russia & Europe, some to European hospitals, some into the past, some into the future whilst on a networking trip across America, leading him on a journey deep within himself - will he ever make it out alive?
In a soul searching networking trip across America he rolls with the punches in NYC as a guest of the Village King, Jesse Malin, dealing with members of The Zombies wanting his picture, disillusionment in Nashville, being added to the bill of a Gogol Bordello tour in California whilst getting on the wrong and right sides of members of Green Day, Foo Fighters & Metallica, to a strange line of coincidence that lead him from his first steps in America to his very last day.
He also deplores talking in the third person, so I'll stop doing that now.
