Electric Light Odyssey: My Zigzag Life and the Iconic Band that Changed Everything - Parthenon Huxley

Descriere Electric Light Odyssey: My Zigzag Life and the Iconic Band that Changed Everything - Parthenon Huxley

\nIn 1998 Parthenon Huxley, widowed and unemployed, successfully auditions to be the guitarist/singer for Electric Light Orchestra Part II, led by ELO's Bev Bevan. After years of ups and downs in the tough-luck music business, Huxley's life trajectory changes for the better-lavish tours, world-class bandmates, fan adulation-until events threaten to pull it all apart. \n \n\n \nDriven by a fluid, enthused writing style, Electric Light Odyssey is packed with captivating and often hilarious anecdotes about the rock 'n' roll life-from sharing an invisible joint with Paul McCartney and being serenaded at his wedding by Stephen Stills, to singing harmony with Brian Wilson, performing with Linda Ronstadt, and much more. \n \n\n A must-read for music lovers, aspiring artists, and fans of triumph-over-adversity stories, Electric Light Odyssey chronicles Huxley's life journey as he grows from budding songwriter to rock n' roll veteran with the scars and rewards to show for it. Huxley fearlessly leads the reader on a tour of his thrilling wins, humbling failures, and heart-stopping personal drama. \n\n \n\n \n_____________________________________________\n \n \n \nReading Electric Light Odyssey instantly reminded me of Parthenon's many literary gifts, such as knowing which details will carry his story into the reader's heart. That's impressive but not surprising if you know his lyrics and music. Parthenon's unpredictable and adventurous life is a tale worth telling, and as his past band mate, co-writer and good friend, I'm honored to be a small part of his story's fabric. Well done, brother. - Rusty Anderson, singer, songwriter, recording artist, guitarist for Paul McCartney, gear designer\n
