About this listen

From Graham Nash - the legendary musician and founding member of the iconic bands Crosby, Stills & Nash and The Hollies - comes a candid and riveting autobiography that belongs on the reading list of every classic rock fan.

Graham Nash's songs defined a generation and helped shape the history of rock and roll - he’s written over 200 songs, including such classic hits as "Carrie Anne," “On A Carousel,” "Simple Man," "Our House," “Marrakesh Express,” and "Teach Your Children." From the opening salvos of the British Rock Revolution to the last shudders of Woodstock, he has rocked and rolled wherever music mattered. Now Graham is ready to tell his story: his lower-class childhood in post-war England, his early days in the British Invasion group The Hollies; becoming the lover and muse of Joni Mitchell during the halcyon years, when both produced their most introspective and important work; meeting Stephen Stills and David Crosby and reaching superstardom with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; and his enduring career as a solo musician and political activist. Nash has valuable insights into a world and time many think they know from the outside but few have experienced at its epicenter, and equally wonderful anecdotes about the people around him: the Beatles, the Stones, Hendrix, Cass Elliot, Dylan, and other rock luminaries.

From London to Laurel Canyon and beyond, Wild Tales is a revealing look back at an extraordinary life - with all the highs and the lows; the love, the sex, and the jealousy; the politics; the drugs; the insanity - and the sanity - of a magical era of music.

First Rate!

Told by the man himself, Graham Nash tells his life story in a warm intimate in your face way, that is installed from the beginning to the end, leaving no stone unturned. No sacred cows here. I was deeply affected having grown in myself through Mr. Nash telling his "Wild Tales." I highly recommend this audiobook. Thank you Graham Nash for everything.

If you lived the 70's then this audio is for you

It's amazing how much detail Graham brings to his journey. I'm live in Los Angeles so I am so familiar with the landscape. I love CSNY music -- early days. Live concerts today are now too much of their political views.

A good reflection of the substance of the man.

A good book reflecting in an authentic way the craziness and bliss have a life well lived.

Fantastic

Graham totally unlocked the back-stories for me, teenager in the 70’s who remains a diehard fan nearly 50 years later. And all this told in his voice and so eloquently… just fantastic.

Could Hve Been Better

OK, So we all know, "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll" But does Graham need to spend at least 1/3 of the book telling us how he and his friends spent millions of dollars on them. Without those needless & boring hours of drug stories, I would have given it Five Stars.

I sincerely enjoyed listening to this book narrated by Mr. Nash himself. It’s chalk full of wonderful stories and insight into life, friendship, love, the good times and the hard times. Thank you for sharing these intimate stories, Mr. Nash. Cheers!

Sad tales

I have lost some respect for Graham Nash and the band. Love the music, not so much their lives. I am not used to non stop vulgar language. Take out the word f—k and loose 25% of the words (slight exaggeration). A braggarts tale of lust and drugs.

The music stories were great but not the “tell all”.

Missed opportunity

Beautifully written . Great insight into his bands and journey. While he’s very political and opinionated, I wish he had emphasized what a waste all those drugs were, and the damage to our society, in addition to his good friends.

The Inside Story

If you could sum up Wild Tales in three words, what would they be?

Trip through time

What does Graham Nash bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Graham's personality and his viewpoint came through clearly. He made it come alive through the whole story.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A movie could never live up to the reality.

Any additional comments?

This book took me back in time to relive what happened then. Having been at several of his concerts, with and without the full band, it made me feel pleasantly nostalgic. Especially about a Crosby/Nash/Carole King show in the 70's. I could hear the friendship I saw on many occasions.This was one of my best purchases and I can't wait to tell others about it.
