Wild Tales: Graham Nash

Wild Tales by Graham Nash is a classic rock memoir from the legendary Hollies frontman and member of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

In this frank and captivating autobiography, Graham Nash lays bare everything: the love, the sex, the jealousy, the drugs, and the magic of music-making. This is truly one of the great rock and roll stories, chronicling his impoverished upbringing in post-war Manchester, where Nash co-founded The Hollies with school friend Allan Clarke, and the incredible success that followed. He recounts friendships with all the major British bands of the sixties, including The Beatles, The Stones, and The Kinks, before his move to America to become the lover of Joni Mitchell (for whom he penned 'Our House') and achieving superstardom with David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Neil Young.

This book will be cherished by Graham Nash's fans and rightfully takes its place among the pantheon of classic music memoirs alongside Bob Dylan's Chronicles, Keith Richards' Life, and Neil Young's Waging Heavy Peace.

Graham Nash was born in Blackpool in 1942 and raised in Salford. He co-founded The Hollies with his school friend Allan Clarke, and they became one of the most successful British pop groups of the 1960s, with Nash as lead singer and one of the principal songwriters. In 1968, he left the UK to live in California, where he became part of the supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash (later, with the addition of Neil Young, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young). Unusually, he has been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, for both The Hollies and CSNY, and in 2010, he received the OBE. He is renowned for his political and charity work (he notably performed at Occupy Wall Street in 2011), is a serious photographer, and maintains homes in California and Hawaii.
