He has lived in his car when he couldnt make ends meet; he has been kicked off by about 4 record labels as a musician; he lost all of his belongings (including some of his master recordings) when the Hollywood house he was renting from Flea, of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, burned down to the ground during the 07 California wild fires ; and although he was originally supposed to be one of the judges on Mark Burnetts Rock Star, his acerbic and critical appearances all ended up on the cutting room floor.In his riveting memoir, Drinking with Strangers, Butch Walker tells the fascinating story of his life and remarkable career, taking readers on a breakneck ride from his Georgia roots to the Hollywood music scene, and giving us a close-up insiders view of life behind closed recording studio doors.
