One autumn, radio producers Chris and Joe drive across America, roof down, stereo up, and discover the roots of the sounds they love. They sell their souls to the devil on the same crossroads as Robert Johnson, buy booze from the same store as Jim Morrison, hang out with the spirit of Johnny Cash in his own front room and sit on a jetty by an alligator-infested lake to sing 'Happy Birthday' to count-rock musician Gram Parsons. But first they must learn the ukulele, grow moustaches, fail to get into the Chateau Marmont, get very drunk with rising popstar Terra Naomi and that's just one day. It's a tale of friendship tested to the limit, noble myths, love lost and found, perfect lyrics, good times and a broken CD player. AUTHOR: Chris Price has been shaping the popular music landscape for his entire career, as director of music for MTV and prior to that as an award-winning music producer for various labels. Joe Harland, as award-winning music producer at Radio 1, once got Dave Grohl to read from the only book the rock star has ever read. SELLING POINTS: The authors have a large internet following for their journey Will appeal to fans of Dave Gorman, music and pop culture The book will be widely promoted through the authors' many media contacts
