Crossroads: In Search of the Moments that Changed Music Audiobook (Free)

Standing on the crossroads – the Mississippi crossroads of Robert Johnson as well as the devil’s infamous conference – Mark Radcliffe found himself facing his own personal crunch point. Aged sixty, he had simply mourned the death of his dad, only to end up being handed a medical diagnosis of mouth and throat malignancy.

This momentous amount of time in his life, and being at the most famous junction in music history, led Radcliffe to think about the pivotal tracks in music and the way the musicians who wrote and performed them – from Woodie Guthrie to Gloria Gaynor, Kurt Cobain to Bob Marley – had reached the crossroads that resulted in such epoch-changing music.

With this warm, intimate account of music and its power to transform our lives, Radcliffe takes a personal journey through these touchstone tracks, looking at the story behind the information and his own experiences as he goes in search of these moments.
