A Far Cry from Sunset
It tells of the adventures of four friends traveling the world to ask ten famous artists to appear Having been a singer/songwriter my entire life, A Far Cry from Sunset is the title of my first book.
It tells of the adventures of four friends traveling the world to ask ten famous artists to appear on a tribute album to an unknown songwriter and making a documentary of their quest. The unknown songwriter in question was myself.
Apart from being a road trip tale of epic proportions it is also a memoir of my life in music from the mid 70s til the present day.
