Six Guns South

Description

Six Guns South were five nobodies when Eddie Wilson pulled them out of bars, beach festivals, and dead‑end gigs and set them on a collision course with history to become the greatest rock and roll act of their era.

​

Told through interviews, road‑worn memories, and the uneasy honesty of men who spent their lives under stage lights, Six Guns South follows Jason, the wrong‑name kid from Kentucky with a voice that could sell sin and salvation, alongside Conner, a Cajun piano prodigy, Tony, a Jersey bassist with a mean groove, Mario, a West Coast drummer with perfect time, and Frankie the son of a faded sixties idol determined to step out of his father’s shadow.

​

As an older, battle‑scarred band prepares to release its first new album in fifteen years, journalist Boo Ellison is granted unprecedented access and what he uncovers is a story of ambition, loyalty, mystery, addiction, and the cost of greatness.

​

For fans of behind‑the‑music stories, Six Guns South is a raw, propulsive novel about a band who valued each other above all else and the band’s buried treasure some fans believe is real.
