The City's Backyard Ep 27: Drummer Corky Laing from the classic rock group Mountain talks about his new book called "Letters To Sarah" and all about his life as a musician and rock star

The City's Backyard

CORKY LAING'S MOUNTAIN

​

Since 2015 Corky has been touring the world celebrating the musical legacy of Mountain. A 50th Anniversary of the Mississippi Queen Cowbell World Tour was supposed to start in the USA in the Spring of 2020, but that has been postponed due to the global pandemic. Corky, Mark Mikel (vocals, bass & keyboards), and Richie Scarlet (guitar) are eagerly waiting for it to be safe to hit the road again. Check the TOUR page for information about rescheduled gigs.
LETTERS TO SARAH - Corky's autobiography

​

Letters to Sarah is a rock autobiography with a difference. In addition to the exceptionally honest and endearing voice of Corky chronicling the ups and downs of his life, there are excerpts from dozens of letters (out of the c. 200) that Corky wrote to his mother, Sarah, between the years 1963 and 1997. The letters were a way for Corky, away on the road for years on end, to keep in touch with his roots and also, to make sense of his life. This continues in Letters to Sarah, as Corky relives the first 50 years of his life, up until his mother's passing in 1998.

Letters to Sarah was written together with Tuija Takala, PhD, who started working with Corky on Playing God: The Rock Opera in 2012, gradually became his manager and partner, and with whom Corky has since collaborated on a number of projects.

Letters to Sarah is available on Amazon as an eBook, audiobook (read by Corky himself) and paperback and has received 5-star reviews across the board.
