Reviews
“Hilary Clay Hicks not only places the reader smack dab in the middle of the transformative ‘60s, his writing captures the thoughts and feelings of talented musicians reaching for the stars. This is an amazing story that just breathes authenticity.” — David Fishof, CEO, Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp.
“It’s got the feel, the time, and the territory. The characters are true to the trip we were all on. The vibe is cool and accurate. Gave me flashbacks. I was there, or was I?” — Barry Goldberg (legendary keyboardist with Bob Dylan, Electric Flag, Jimi Hendrix, the Ramones, currently The Rides with Steven Stills and Kenny Wayne Shepherd).
“A journey through a golden age of rock ‘n’ roll. A cosmic glimpse into the past. A hidden alternative reality, true to the people and that significant era in music history. Hilary’s got chops. I enjoyed the trip.” — Rick Vittallo, guitarist, arranger, conductor, educator, music director of many TV series, has worked with Hal Blaine’s Wrecking Crew, the Allman Brothers, Frank Sinatra, Randy Bachman, Celine Dionne, Wayne Newton, many more; VP of Las Vegas Jazz Society, daily radio host for Vegas Jazz Radio, teacher at UNLV.
“I’ve been in the music industry since the early ‘60s. Unicorn? I saw it all happen like this. Young people with fabulous music struggling to make it. It shows what it was like in the business then, reflecting the good and the bad and the burning ambition and everyone in love with the music that shaped many generations forever. This book is long overdue. It’s also a great read. I recommend it highly.” — the late Harold Childs, former Sr. VP of Promotion and Sales, A&M Records (Joe Cocker, Herb Alpert, Billy Preston, Carole King, The Carpenters, Supertramp, The Police), President of Quincy Jones’s Qwest Records, VP of Warner.
