pickDriving through the New Hampshire and Vermont mountains was the best way to listen to this one. Lead guitarist for several bands, the author plays the background music to the audio. The narrative is disjointed and timelines blur but you get the idea of what it‘s like to live on the road with your band mates. The highs and the lows, the heavy work involved, and the hangovers/highs. It‘s a low pick but a worthy companion on my drive home.
pickThis #audiobook was definitely odd. I think McGrath‘s creative decisions were interesting but didn‘t totally work for me.
McGrath evokes the continuous struggles of a long-term working musician who has never made it big. Traversing Canada, the US, and Europe multiple times in a three-hour audiobook was mind boggling, but I think that was the point. He composed music that plays with the narration that matches each scene. Creative but low pick.
