Wasted Days and Wasted Nights
“Just let me sing!” These are the prophetic words of Freddy Fender, who rose from an impoverished background in south Texas to achieve international superstardom as a rock ‘n’ country singer during the 1970s. For the millions of fans worldwide who have loved Freddy, this book offers an in-depth exploration of Freddy’s personal and professional life: from his hardscrabble childhood to his raucous early years, leading to his explosion onto the world stage as a one-of-a-kind performer. The Life Story of Freddy Fender is the first of a two-volume publication which will tell the story of this singular entertainer. Written by Freddy’s daughter, Tammy Lorraine Huerta Fender, the book conveys in rich detail what Freddy went through to succeed. The book also reveals the painful truth behind that success, and how the misery of substance abuse tore both him and his family apart. Freddy’s journey to redemption forms the heart of this biography, as does his faith in a Higher Power. Frank, uncompromising, and bold, this book is the definitive work on the life and legacy of Freddy Fender, told as no other could tell.
Once a Rocker Always a Rocker

For the next two years I experienced things that money just can't buy.

I was on top.At that same moment Joe Perry was spiraling to the bottom. Health failing, marriage falling apart and deeply in debt. In order to stay one foot ahead of the tallyman the ex-Aerosmith star jumped into a Dodge van and hit the road, taking me and a few other newbies along on a mad dash across North America and beyond.

Documenting the unusual bond that develops between Mr. Perry and myself as we travel, compose and record together, film an MTV video and perform 226 concerts in arenas, roadhouses, race tracks and tin shacks.

It is our most passionate music, rooted in ancient Africa but brought to blossom in America at the doorstep of the twentieth century. It is a living heritage of song born in poverty, persecution, and hard labor, born of love and love betrayed, of holiness and sin, the pleasures and the pains of the flesh, the experience of tragedy, comedy, drunkenness, despair, desolation, and pure joy.

Perhaps no form of popular art is more immediately appealing than the blues, yet so rewards a thorough knowledge of its finer points. In eleven authoritative essays commissioned...
