From Cabbagetown to Tinseltown and places in between...: The autobiography of Tommy Roe (Michael Robert Krikorian's Collection) Paperback – January 22, 2016

It was great to finally read something about Tommy Roe. It is sad that the music industry has really ignored him because I remember his music from when my brother played it (when I was a child) and to this day I enjoy listening to it. The songs are feel good songs and the melodies are catchy. Fun music that cheers your soul! I really enjoyed reading the stories about the songs and hearing that Tommy is still as down to earth and humble as he was in the beginning.

Like a conversation with a friend. Lots if memories. Back when a conservative could be rock and roll star and not persecuted. A nice read for anyone who remembers the 60's was not all protests amd drugs

A chance to learn a lot about Tommy Roe. I know he was bubble gum but had a lot of hits that were good songs. Interesting way of writing a bio as he came from such a philosophical point of view about life, music and career. It was an easy and short read.

Great book. I grew up in the area highlighted in the book during the timeline.

Well written. Tommy Roe clearly enjoyed the life he led.That's a good thing.

Really learned a lot in this book. Really interesting story.

This is an honest, interesting book by one of America's most underappreciated rock stars. Did you know "Sheila" wasn't the original title (or the original recording for that matter) of Tommy's first hit song? You'll have to read it yourself to find out what it was.If you love popular music anecdotes like these and want to get into the mind of an American legend who witnessed and helped make musical history, this is the book for you. Tommy embraces his bubblegum image and laments a career cut short by forces inside and outside of his control. Told in his own Southern voice, it is at once sad, funny, entertaining and endearing.

Was somewhat interesting as I grew up in the era but a little too many cliches

Excellent book about a very pleasant man. Interesting tales, and he's still going strong. A great read.

For this reader, Tommy Roe was one of the most distinctive sounds of the Sixties, one of the few American stars who weathered the British invasion and continued to flourish, both in his own country and in the United Kingdom, where he was a habitual visitor.It is good therefore to read his own account of those times, and there is fascinating biographical and recording industry detail in this book.The only downside is that Tommy tends to waffle, especially in the first two chapters, which are hard going as a result. He also has an excruciating sense of humour. And much as one may agree with his political views, I for one would be rather dubious about the claim they are what caused his recording career to tank in the 1970s.Despite these reservations, Tommy comes across as being a thoroughly decent Southern gentleman, an agreeable personality behind all those wistful Sixties hits. This book is a valuable original account of an extraordinary era, seen from the inside.
