The defining story of the grunge explosion from a founding
member of Mudhoney, the band that made it all possible.
Until now, there has been no firsthand telling of the Seattle
music scene from a musician who was there for it all. Steve
Turner, guitarist of Mudhoney, one of the first grunge bands,
has inspired countless musicians and bands from Kurt
Cobain to Pearl Jam.
In Mud Ride, Steve Turner offers an inside look at growing up
in Seattle and touring with the likes of Nirvana and Courtney
Love. From the beginnings of grunge to the come-down
from the highs of success and stardom—this is the story of
the once-sleepy Seattle scene becoming Time magazine
cover-worthy and what happens when drugs, fame, and
untold wealth wreak havoc.
Mud Ride features a foreword by Pearl Jam’s Stone Gossard
and 75 full-color illustrations and photographs throughout.

Take a seat and ride through the messy and muddy tight-
knit grunge scene that grew in Seattle basements and went

on to circle the globe.
