Highways and Byways
Tall tales and short stories from the long way round from Australian rock legend & bestselling author of WORKING CLASS BOY, WORKING CLASS MAN & KILLING TIME
Jimmy Barnes
The new book from Jimmy Barnes, the award-winning author of the number-one bestsellers Working Class Boy, Working Class Man and Killing Time. From larger-than-life adventures to vivid and poignant tales of the imagination, Highways & Byways is a collection of thirty stories taking readers on an enthralling tour (complete with the odd detour) through the raucous, well-lived life of one of this country's most successful and beloved artists.Told with Jimmy's signature verve and flair, and richly coloured by his distinctive voice and wit, Highways & Byways sees him sharing a 1970s Texas stage with a dream line-up of US musicians; flirting with disaster in a Hawaiian high-rise; discovering a life-changing mix tape; unearthing shattering family secrets in Glasgow; encountering charismatic and not-so-endearing superstars, ghosts of the recent and distant past, superfan traffic cops and shady salesmen; and confronting his own mortality - while pondering the more amusing effects of hospital medication.Charming, personal and poignant, Highways & Byways is a collection that celebrates Jimmy's Scottish heritage, family, friends, music and the adventure of a grand life.
