“Once he met her, it was and always would be Lyla.” They were the gentlemen bad boys of rock. Forming in a garage in a small town in Indiana. Taking their licks on the road. Going balls to the wall until they made their big break. And then Preacher McCade and the Roadmasters redefined rock and roll. Guided by their tortured lead singer and songwriter, the Roadmasters changed the face of music in the 80s and 90s. And on their journey to becoming one of the most enduring bands in history—dogged by rumors and myth and fueled by drugs and booze—the Roadmasters had one touchstone. Lyla. Preacher’s muse, the love of his life, and the band’s moral compass, from the beginning, Lyla is along for the ride. But with fame and acclaim in their grasp, they’ve entered the fast lane. And they didn’t know it, but they were headed for a crash.

0I like that KA tried for something different-ish. This is a lot like Daisy Jones and the Six. An interview with 2 (then a 3rd) different people that were part of a band and in a relationship with the lead singer. It has some key KA elements, alpha type hero that know best, heroine with her own style who lives for her man. An awful breakup scene. It was different to see so much drugs on page, but felt necessary to the story mostly. I didn’t love this one for me.
0Maybe if I hadn't already read Daisy Jones and the Six, I would have been able to enjoy this book. But, this really felt like a rip off of that book and it was so good I just can't imagine this would be close.
I tried to read it anyway but I just couldn't connect to the interviewee. It just didn't work for me.
