Title: <\/strong>Everything I’m Cracked Up to Be: A Rock & Roll Fairy Tale<\/p>\n

By:<\/strong> Jen Trynin<\/p>\n

Buy from Amazon.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

In her sharp, witty and terribly entertaining memoir Everything I’m Cracked Up to Be<\/a><\/i>, Jen Trynin – a dazzling singer-songwriter from the Boston area with an ear for hooks – records her rise as an artist and fall from corporate grace.<\/p>\n

Trynin<\/a> once recorded a CD called Cockamamie<\/a><\/i> on her own label, Squint. Soon, she triggered a record label bidding war. In 1995 she signed with Warner who promptly reissued her CD and released the crisp, catchy single “Better Than Nothing”.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Trynin tells us about her courting by executives, her signing, the shooting of music videos, the touring, the recognition and then the downward spiral. There are glimpses of a time when labels were trying to get on the gravy train brought about by the success of indie acts.<\/p>\n

Trynin – who has a degree in creative writing – recently told me that the “nitty gritty about the record contract” took her over a month to write. Time well spent: it’s the most fascinating part of the book because it describes how the music business makes money and the enormous potential for record labels to manipulate an artist’s revenues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
