Almost Almost Famous

(Almost) Almost Famous is a collection of stories, essays and memories showcasing Red Dirt, Americana, roots rock and independent country music. All direct orders will come signed by the author.

Josh Crutchmer says:
These are tales from my days in the wings, behind the scenes, and in the crowd. We’ll dodge an Oklahoma summer storm with Wyatt Flores and stumble upon the news of last year’s Cross Canadian Ragweed reunion in the most random way possible. I’ll tell you about how a simple act of professional journalism with The Turnpike Troubadours changed everything for me. We’ll talk about Oklahoma! with Kaitlin Butts and smoke weed with Margo Price. Vandoliers and Jenni Rose will tug at your heartstrings, and we’ll walk through the creative process with Ryan Bingham. We’ll go catfish noodling with Koe Wetzel and into the studio with Whiskey Myers. We’ll ride Charley Crockett’s bus after the Houston Rodeo, and we’ll learn how to navigate independent music from American Aquarium.

(We may have a word or two for those who don’t exactly enjoy our work in there, too).

There will be one exception: The final chapter will be a fresh, new artist profile, complete with exclusive quotes, photos and news to break when the book drops.

Don’t call this book a memoir. In the immortal words of Roger Clyne, there ain’t no moral to this story at all. I just want you to have as much fun reading it as I did writing it.
