The Silver River

Book Description:

The moving and unexpected new memoir from the Midnight Oil founding member, for readers of Tim Rogers, Tony Cohen and Dave Grohl.

For fifty years, songwriter, guitarist and keyboard player Jim Moginie was a driving force behind the startling rise and global success of one of Australia's most powerful, influential and iconic rock bands. Through the ups and downs of writing and releasing generation-defining songs, touring relentlessly and enduring the intense scrutiny drawn by the band's uncompromising lyrics and environmental activism, the members of Midnight Oil developed a feeling of 'five against the world', the firm friends forming a de facto family.

For Jim Moginie, the band was a calling and a refuge, and a distraction from a growing feeling that something was missing from his life. Raised by a loving family, he'd learned as a child that his biological mother had given him up for adoption.
