Attention, pals: Nevard Tellalian, the veteran red hot blues and rock ’n’ roll singer, has unleashed a different kind of music this week: her memoir!
Musical Road Kills: And Other Tales. Some with Morals, Some Without is a rollicking read that includes tales of touring, lessons from her illustrious career instructions on how to survive the musical life, portraits of some of the legends she’s rubbed shoulders and shared stages with -- and some good old “names have been changed to protect the guilty” items that should lead to some fun guesswork.
(I thought I learned all I need about “the rules of the road” from my buddy, Buddy Greco. Our gal showed me otherwise!

But the heart of the book is based on two relationships in her life, two loves who were lost to the cruelties of cancer. One of them was a legendary punk rocker; another wasn't a celebrity, but definitely made a powerful impact in his time here on this ole planet.

Nevard has announced that "all proceeds from the book are going to two cancer foundations: The Lymphoma Research Foundation in honor of Jeff Ross Hyman (Joey Ramone) and to Dr. Robert Nagourney at The Nagourney Institute ...in honor of Jeremy Dennis.” And that tells you something about Nevard Tellalian, too.
You go, girl! And hey, a blurb from our pal Burt Kearns is on the back cover! Another reason pallys, to buy the book now!
And I'll see you on the town! You’ll recognize me: I’m the one reading Musical Road Kills!
