About this listen

Tricky is one of the most original music artists to emerge from the UK in the past 30 years. His signature sound, coupled with deep, questioning lyrics, took the UK by storm in the early 1990s and was part of the soundtrack that defined the post-rave generation.

This unique, no-holds barred autobiography is not only a portrait of an incredible artist - it is also a gripping slice of social history packed with extraordinary anecdotes and voices from the margins of society.

Tricky examines how his creativity has helped him find a different path to that of his relatives, some of whom were bare-knuckle fighters and gangsters, and how his mother's suicide has had a lifelong effect on him, both creatively and psychologically. With his unique heritage and experience, his story will be one of the most talked-about music autobiographies of the decade.

An honest insight in to a tricky mind.
Wouldve been best read by the man himself...the storyteller lacked depth with his over enthused exclaimings !! It needed to be told in darker hues...textured with genuine depth of experience. I oscillated between liking him.and wanting him to do one...the shouty mouth little prick .( Pacifist my arse). But Legend all the same. inspired to listen to his sonic journey now. see if he is as good as he proclaims himself to be or are they just the last rantings of an indulged delusional ex been. lets see....the mind is a Tricky place to Be.

This book is as full of character and idiosyncrasies as Tricky's music, there's nothing quite like it. Narration is great too and varies depending on who is recounting the stories. Strongly recommend.

Wishing it was narrated by Tricky aside (hence rating of 3*), I don’t know why I chose this as my 2nd Audible book. In the same way I was drawn to Tricky’s music and the hardback copy I own. It’s an excellent read for anyone, not just those who love his/any music. It’s a raw story of struggle, truth, innocence, naivety. For me it is about survival. Whoever guided my ear here I thank them. For whilst my life is happier and I cope better, I am still engulfed by darkness that threatens to pull me under. Every time Tricky says ‘whatever’ & pushes on, I say the same. The tragic ending of this book reminds me of the pain I almost visited on my family & I cry because I am so happy to be here and I feel so guilty that I couldn’t find another way out. Tricky’s book is testament that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. There is a reason why we only had the briefest of non verbal encounters in The Dugout many decades ago and we are both still here. I will share this book amongst my friends (most of whom won’t know/like) his music because sometimes you need to hear it from a stranger and not someone close to you. 🌹X
