For decades, singer-songwriter Linda Chorney played bars, resorts, and anywhere a girl and her guitar could make a buck-all the while scoping the audience for true love and a big record deal. She got a few bites, but then middle age barged in-"how dare you!"-serving the gut punch that she'd missed the boat and was hurling toward her personal nightmare: single, on a cruise ship at eighty, singing Jimmy Buffett tunes in Depends.
Then everything changed at a gig on top of Vail Mountain, when Linda spotted a DILF singing the lyrics to her songs. Enter Scott-"Oh no! A Yankees fan from Jersey?!" He'd already fallen hard for Linda's music, and soon fell in love with the woman behind it-a freaking Red Sox fan from Massachusetts.
He urged Linda to submit her sixth album for a Grammy. She smirked: "What am I gonna go for-Best Menopausal Music?"
Spoiler: She becomes the first truly independent artist nominated for Best Americana Album-competing with legends- and all hell breaks loose. And that's just the tip of the tale when this DIY underdog rattles the system.
The Good Ol' Boys come out swinging. But y'all don't mess with a Masshole-duh. What follows is a righteous showdown: The Gatekeeping Goliaths vs. one guitar-wielding Cinderella, armed with f-bombs, true grit, and sheer wit. So begins Linda's wild ride to infamy and misfortune.
Your backstage pass awaits to a music memoir with a stranger-than-fiction third act. From soul-baring vulnerability to rage to charmingly juvenile humor, this is an inspirational story about love, heartbreak, wins, losses-and how ya handle it. Narrated by Linda, bursting with spontaneous voices and song, this audiobook proves that success isn't always about reaching the top. Sometimes it's about mooning the bad guys from a cliff, hanging on for dear life- and surviving the climb.
A must-listen for fans of true stories, music memoirs, strong female voices, independent artists, and behind-the-scenes drama.
