Who The F**K Is Linda Chorney

Linda Chorney's is the Moneyball of music. You don't have to be a baseball player to love that story--and you won't need to be a musician to love hers.

 

This is a hilarious ride through the music business, told in the clear voice, eyes, and shoes of a woman who defines independent artist.

 

Linda performed her original music for 30 years, taking gigs all over the world, waiting for her big break. At the tender age of 51--wtih a lot of moxie and a little help from her friends--Chorney recorded the album of her dreams, Emotional Jukebox, earning her a Grammy Nomination. She made history as the first completely independent singer-songwriter without a manager, publicist or record label to achieve this recognition in a category of legends like Robert Plant, Willie Nelson, and Bob Dylan.

 

The industry, however, was not pleased that an outsider had slipped past the gatekeepers. They tried to undermine her nomination and destroy her career, from accusations of cheating to actual death threats. They were the Buckners, and Chorney was the ball that got through their legs. And in the end, the industry figured out a way to get a bigger glove.

 

From the elation to the agony of her hysterically witted, unbridled, unbelievable underdog journey, this is your backstage pass to the inside story of the Grammys. Fasten your seatbelts for a wild adventure with Linda as she sings, drops f bombs, her drawers, the occasional mother's little helper, and eventually lands on the Red Carpet. And get a taste of what the indie artist's life is like--the kind of artist who does it for the love of making music.
