Wild Tales

Description

The classic rock memoir of the Hollies front man and member of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - belongs on the shelves of all music lovers In this candid and riveting autobiography Graham Nash tells it all- the love, the sex, the jealousy, the drugs, and the magical music-making. This is one of the great rock and roll stories- growing up in poverty in postwar Manchester, where Nash founded the Hollies with schoolfriend Allan Clarke and the incredible success that followed, friendships with all the great British bands of the 60s including the Beatles, the Stones and the Kinks, decamping to America and becoming the lover of Joni Mitchell (for whom he wrote 'Our House') and achieving superstardom with David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Neil Young.

Graham Nash was born in Blackpool in 1942 and brought up in Salford. He was cofounder of the Hollies - one of the most successful British pop groups of the 1960s - and in 1968 moved to California, where he became part of the supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash (later, after Neil Young joined, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young). Unusually he has been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

A fascinating memoir tells of life on the other side of the ampersand... optimistic, charming and terribly British * Mojo *
