Reviews for City Baby

[Tom Lee · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I enjoyed this so much. I’ve loved GBH since 1983. To hear the stories of the road and struggles the band fills in the blanks of these legends. It was a great read. Concise without a wasted word. It reminded me of a punk rock ham on rye of Bukowski. Thank you for writing the book Ross. You’ve lived an adventure.
