Highway to Hell by Clinton Walker
A classic of rock writing, this is the definitive accounts of AC/DC's rise to fame, when the ribald lyrics and charismatic stage presence of singer Bon Scott, along with the formidable guitar work of brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, defined a new and highly influential brand of rock'n'roll. Drawing on many first-person interviews and featuring a gallery of rare photos, Walker traces AC/DC's career through the life of their original frontman, from the Scottish roots he shared with the Youngs right up to his shocking death in 1980.Walker, who was born in country Victoria in 1957 and grew up in Melbourne, began writing for student newspapers and his own punk fanzines after dropping out of Brisbane Art College in 1976. He earned a reputation as Australiaa (TM)s most prophetic and colorful music critic after coming to Sydney in 1980 and freelancing for rock magazines such as RAM and Rolling Stones. Inner City Sound (1981, republished by Verse Chorus Press in 2005) and The Next Thing (1984) were among the first books in Australia to celebrate punk and independent music, and are now considered DIY cultural icons. Walker resides in Sydneya (TM)s inner western suburbs with his wife and two children, close down the road from AC/DCa (TM)s birthplace.
