Walking Back Home

Informationen zum Autor Ricky Ross formed Deacon Blue over 30 years ago, and 2022 sees the 35th anniversary of the release of their debut album, Raintown. A string of bestsellers followed it. Ricky presents a number of radio shows including BBC Radio Scotland's Americana music show Another Country (for which he has won two Sony awards and a CMA International Trophy in 2015) and Sunday Morning With, as well as Ricky Ross's New Tradition for BBC Radio 2. Klappentext As singer and songwriter of beloved band Deacon Blue, as well as a prolific and acclaimed solo musician in his own right, Ricky Ross has lived and breathed music all his life. In Walking Back Home , his first memoir, Ricky takes us on a journey where we meet the people and see the places that have shaped who he is today. From encounters with megastars like Springsteen, to stories of the unsung heroes of the music scene that had a profound effect on Ricky and his songwriting, to wonderfully evocative tales of family life in Dundee, early forays into teaching in Glasgow, and the emerging music scene of 80s and 90s London, this is a wise and wistful memoir, full of the humour and pathos that has characterised Ricky's songwriting for the last forty years.
