Description:
Bob Livingston's rollicking memoir of life with theGonzos on the road.
Brief description:
Bob Livingston is
a Texas troubadour, globe-trotting musician, writer, and storyteller whose
lifelong journey in music has taken him from honky-tonks and folk clubs to
concert halls and stages across the world. A founding member of the legendary
Lost Gonzo Band, he played a pivotal role in the rise of progressive country
and outlaw music scenes of the 1970s and beyond. With six acclaimed studio
albums and performances throughout the US and in more than twenty-five
countries as a cultural ambas-sador for the US State Department, Livingston has
built a career grounded in curiosity, creativity, and connection. Gypsy
Alibi: A Gonzo Memoir is his first book.
Review Quotes: "Bob Livingston needs no alibis for the stories he tells of his life in
music, from growing up in Lubbock raised on rock and roll, country and folk, to
his stints with Jerry Jeff Walker and Michael Martin Murphey in Austin as the
original Cosmic Cowboy, to his own solo career working the honky-tonks of Texas
and the back roads of India. It ain't bragging if it's true. Besides, you
can't make this stuff up." --Joe Nick Patoski, author of Willie Nelson:
