From larger-than-life adventures to vivid and poignant tales of the imagination, Highways and Byways is a collection of 30 stories taking listeners on an enthralling tour (complete with the odd detour) through the raucous, well-lived life of one of this country's most successful and beloved artists.Told with Barnes's signature verve and flair, and richly coloured by his distinctive voice and wit, Highways and Byways sees him sharing a 1970s Texas stage with a dream line-up of US musicians; flirting with disaster in a Hawaiian high-rise; discovering a life-changing mix tape; unearthing shattering family secrets in Glasgow; encountering charismatic and not-so-endearing superstars, ghosts of the recent and distant past, superfan traffic cops and shady salesmen; and confronting his own mortality – while pondering the more amusing effects of hospital medication.Charming, personal and poignant, Highways and Byways is a collection that celebrates Barnes's Scottish heritage, family, friends, music and the adventure of a grand life.
