Infos

Standing at the crossroads - the Mississippi crossroads of Robert Johnson and the devil's infamous meeting - Mark Radcliffe found himself facing his own personal juncture. Aged sixty, he had just mourned the death of his father, only to be diagnosed with mouth and throat cancer. Together these events led Radcliffe to think about pivotal tracks in music and how the musicians who wrote and performed them had reached the crossroads that led to such epoch-changing music.Crossroads is a warm, intimate account of music and its power to transform our lives, as Radcliffe takes a personal journey through these key tracks.

Rezensionen

Always a refreshing breath of down-to-earth amiability on the airwaves, DJ Mark Radcliffe brings the same chatty, Northern tone to this memoir

A love letter to pop music. Mark Radcliffe is the sharpest DJ that Radio One has ever had by some considerable distance

Praise for Mark Radcliffe: Steal this book!

Funny, well-informed and self-deprecating

If I wanted to study the history of modern music, I'd have Mark Radcliffe as my professor

A pleasant ramble through five decades of pop culture seen through the eyes of a music-loving northerner . . . Radcliffe writes in much the same way that he talks - warmly and wryly

Anyone who enjoys the broadcaster's warm, waggish radio patter will devour this book . . . Radcliffe keeps the juicy showbiz anecdotes coming thick and fast
