Sex,Trucks and Rock 'n' Roll is a fascinating memoir by American musician and songwriter Ben Mason. A born performer Mason, tells of his debauched and selfish life while on tour with his rock band as a young man, a time that nearly saw him serving a serious jail sentence on drugs charges. He then started a house removal service that became very successful then in his later years back to a more sober career in the music business.

Mason describes his book as the story of his Journey,a journey from a life of excess spent in a blur of sex and drugs,through learning responsibility as "Big Brother" to the motley crew of misfits that worked for him as movers through to a life of reflection , self-awareness and spiritual awakening.

I almost swerved this book fearing it might be yet another Born Again Christian epistle that I wouldn't be able to relate to, with all due respect to other people's beliefs all the Born Agains I've met have felt the need to preach to this agnostic after telling their tale.
Mason's spirituality is broad-based and he conveys his beliefs and experiences eloquently,

This is very honest book and Mason doesn't hide or try to justify events that put him in a bad light. The last couple of chapters where he describes his home,thoughts and feelings are quite amazing,reminding me very much of James Lee Burke's superb prose on similar subjects,and let's not forget that Burke is one of the world's best known authors.

I get the feeling that Ben Mason's Journey isn't quite over, hopefully if this book is a success the right person will read it and it will be.
