History is made by those who write it, not the musicians who can't remember it, Tim Newby knows our history and now it's up to him to teach us what happened! -- Vince Herman, Leftover Salmon The gift of Tim Newby's book is its depth and honesty, a thorough guide covering a thirty-year journey of a truly remarkable band. In addition to their story of friendships and losses, musical discoveries and Wild West adventures, it is a tale of the brethren they surround themselves with who fortify Salmon's unique voice. -- Bill Payne, Little Feat Tim Newby has somehow managed to capture the unique combination of personalities that is Leftover Salmon, a feat that I would have thought fairly impossible. Tim weaves his story through the sensibilities of the individual players which creates a wonderful kaleidoscope resulting in the definitive biography of a band that is still constantly changing and growing into their fourth decade. -- Steve Berlin, Los Lobos So great (and surprising!) to learn the history and origins of Leftover Salmon. There's so much more to these guys then I thought I knew, and I met Vince and Drew twenty years ago. True pioneers in music. If you're a fan, definitely worth the read! -- Adam Aijala, Yonder Mountain String Band Tim Newby's books lead music fans deeper into the world of the artists he writes about. Even after more than 40 years of studying the music, I learned so much from his book. -- Tim O'Brien, Hot Rize This detailed account of a loving group of musicians who dared be themselves is a testimony to the power of music to bring the world together through love of the creative originals that we all are meant to be. -- Jeff Apt.
