Stalking the Red Headed Stranger is a guide to the art and history of
professional song plugging. But this isn't your run-of-the-mill
history book/instruction manual. It is an in-depth, up-close look into
the real music business by industry insider and Grammy Award nominee
Randy Poe, who has represented literally hundreds of the greatest
songs in the history of popular music, including “Stand By Me ”
“Happy Together ” “Jailhouse Rock ” “Under the Boardwalk ”
“Hound Dog ” “What a Wonderful World ” “Spanish Harlem ”
“Chapel of Love ” “Summer in the City ” “Love Potion No. 9
” and “Kansas City.” But wait! There's so much more! Interwoven
throughout this entertaining and enlightening book is the hysterical
saga of the author as he chases American icon Willie Nelson across
Canada – via plane, taxi, rental car, and even ferryboat – in an
attempt to pitch a single song to the Red Headed Stranger. And what
happens on Willie's bus doesn't stay on Willie's bus. Stalking the Red
Headed Stranger, or How to Get Your Songs into the Hands of the
Artists Who Really Matter Through Show Business Trickery, Underhanded
Skullduggery, Shrewdness, and Chicanery, as Well as Various Less
Nefarious Methods of Song Plugging: A Practical Handbook and
Historical Portrait is the funniest, hippest, longest-titled how-to
book you'll read this year.
