SUBURBAN SONGBOOK |
The Suburban Songbook is a new book I’ve written that after after a tortuous genesis, including a stint at the worst publisher I’ve ever encountered in forty years in the game (so bad that I was just one among half a dozen authors he had contracted who had to exercise the termination clauses in our contracts to walk out on him!), will finally, hopefully, be published by early 2021. I will be opening an online shop as a new wing of this website to sell not only copies of this book but others like Buried Country, Inner City Sound and Highway to Hell. The Suburban Songbook will fill an enormous hole in the bibliography, as a critical history of the development of a local Australian tradition in pop/rock songwriting, and it will become, I have no doubt, the standard in its field.
