Road Rat's Tips is as informative as it is hilarious.
Drawing on 20 years as a professional musician, author Pete Cook gives an exclusive backstage look at the perils and pitfalls of life as a journeyman. In the real world, being able to play well doesn't necessarily guarantee you'll get work as a musician--in fact, playing well is only half the story.
Road Rat's Tips deals with the other half. A valuable read for music students, semi-pro musicians and seasoned professionals alike, the book is packed with good advice and contains hundreds of tips. It works equally well as a cover-to-cover read, something to be dipped into or, indeed, as a quick reference guide.
Road Rat's Tips also provides a hilarious insider's look at the "glamour" of the music business from the journeyman professional's viewpoint.
