Saw this on Barrett’s FB this morning:
”Here it is folks, the official launch of my 4th book, "The Greatest Band That Ever Wasn’t: The Story Of The Roughest, Toughest, Most Hell-Raising Band To Ever Come Out Of The Pacific Northwest, The Screaming Trees.” You can now preorder signed copies through my website link below (US orders only) and the worldwide release will be this coming November 3rd, 2023. I played drums in the Trees for longer than any other band in my career, and I wrote our story like a Greek comedy in 3 Acts. All total it contains 33 short stories that are mostly humorous true tales of the band and all the insane stuff that happened to us during the 1990s, including our short revival in 2012 with the “Last Words” album, and our almost reunion in 2015. I wrote the book as a tribute to my bandmates, especially with the passing of Mark Lanegan and Van Conner in the last couple years. Gary Lee Conner (the Trees founding guitarist) has read it and loved it, and so have several other musicians who worked with the band. Those who know me also know my sense of humor, so that’s the angle I took on the book. Because in order to tell a great story, you have to live it first, which is what the Trees did, to the fullest. Preorders can be taken in this link, and thank you! Barrett“ barrettmartin.com/store/
