Roadies Rule !,
By roadiegirl "roadiegirl" (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tales from the Rock 'N' Roll Highway (Paperback)
I will admit I am partial to biographies and rock 'n roll, so this latest offer from Brant held the promise of being a good read. What I found was a great variety of personal stories which ranged from "hooting 'n hollaring" to reflective and even soulful. I've read many music books and most of them talk about "The Road." This book lets the artists, roadies and fans take you right into this integral part of their lives. It's a great book and I strongly recommend it.

What life is really like on the road,
By
This review is from: Tales from the Rock 'N' Roll Highway (Paperback)
Marley has used her years of experience and hundreds of "connections" in the business to compile an outstanding collection of short stories from "the road." Starting in the sixties and running up through present day she gives the reader the "insider's view" of what really happens backstage and behind the scenes in the music business. The stories are short, to the point, and absolutely real (I can verify this since I was a part of this life as a Roadie back in my youth). I highly recommend this book for anyone who has been to a concert in the past 40 years and had a good time, you won't be sorry.

What a Great Book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tales from the Rock 'N' Roll Highway (Paperback)
These are great stories, I felt that I was right there as I read them. I liked the fact that while sex and drugs were represented, most of the artist's tales were about the really bizarre things that happen when musicians are on the road and when people are involved in the music business. Marley Brant makes the book even better by narrating and explaining the circumstances that surround these experiences, and frequently gives her own hilarious perspective on the story. There is more to Rock and Roll than what happens on the stage.
