About this listen

Vice magazine says, “Bobby Bird has lived enough lives and wild times for a couple Willie Nelsons and maybe one Mick Jagger.”

Sometimes recording an album is easy for Bobby Bird, and sometimes it's hard. But never has it been harder than the time he recorded "Cherry on Top."

Carson Mell's first novel, Saguaro, chronicled rock legend's Bobby Bird's entire life, save for the period when the rock star was at the peak of his fame, a period that caused Bobby too much shame and embarrassment to illuminate. In Cherry on Top, Bobby Bird shines a light on one of those hilarious and harrowing years when the world was Bobby's oyster and he was absolutely out of control.

After an affair with a taken woman leads to a blood-drenched and thoroughly incriminating evening, Bobby is whisked away by the all-powerful Colony Records to their "Safe House Seven" in the middle of the Mojave Desert. As he struggles to meet the record label's demands to record a new album and a hit single, he is thrown into a life or death battle with a homicidal record producer, giant lizards, and, perhaps most of all, himself.

In Cherry On Top, Bobby tells his story in his own words and - taking full advantage of the audiobook format - in his own songs.

Featuring new music by Carson Mell and Jon Rado
