The sixties and seventies - a period that changed popular music forever.
A period that made the transistor radio the most popular electronic
communication device of the age and gave birth to pirate offshore radio stations.
But what was it actually like to be in the music business in the youth driven
cultural revolution that became to be known as the swinging sixties?
Barry Greenfield's, 'My Journey to Blue Sky' takes the reader on a ride through
the halcyon days of music. Beginning in 1968 auditioning for John Lennon at Apple
Records, and culminating in 1973, working in Hollywood, where he recorded his
first LP, 'Blue Sky' with the help of Larry Carlton, Joe Osborn, Jim Gordon, Jimmie
Haskell and David M. Kershenbaum. Barry Greenfield recorded and performed in Great Britain, Europe, America, and
Canada. The Barry Tales he tells are the intimate moments and interesting details
he lived while he attended 'music school'. His teachers and mentors were Cher,
John Lennon, Harry Nilsson, 10cc, Supertramp, Kenny Rogers, Mike Nesmith and
more.
Through the use of contemporary journals, diaries and the recollections of the
people who were there at the time, Barry paints a vivid picture with a no holds
barred approach. Fast paced, personal, and with heart wide open, Barry
Greenfield lays it all out for the reader to relive his journey to Blue Sky.
If you are a lover of sixties and seventies music, then for you this is a must read.
