“If you’re a musician or love the grunge scene, then Mud Ride
is the book for you…a music memoir full of humor and history, this is a
one-of-a-kind insider’s perspective on the heyday of grunge music.”

"Mud Ride proudly
celebrates several overlooked bands and trailblazers that impacted
Turner. Deviating from standard rock roll memoirs that may glorify drug
abuse and irreverent self-destruction, Turner seems reluctant to step
into any rock star spotlight and instead, focuses on the Seattle
community's dynamics that still inspire him…Mud Ride is
an engaging document of just how intimate the original Seattle music
community was, and how its creativity remains impactful."
—Jeffrey Alexander for The Big Takeover
“From the outset, [Mud Ride]
flies by like Steve [Turner] is hanging out with you, regaling you
about his upbringing, passion for skateboarding, discovery of punk rock,
family life, and his fascinating role in the development of the Seattle
sound. It's a punchy, breezy tale…straightforward, to-the-point, easy
to follow, and bears a hint of snarky humor throughout…. I highly
recommend this book. Put on some of the band's gnarly turns while
reading it.… By the end, you'll want to hang out with Steve and jam with
him.”
—Metal Injection
"The
latest entry to the canon of grunge-era deep dives comes directly from
one of the scene's founding fathers…the new book is equal parts memoir
and passenger-seat ride-along with one of the genre's chief architects,
chronicling his youth as a skateboarding Seattle teen and White House
invitations during peak grunge mania through the making of Mudhoney's
predictably ripping new album, 'Plastic Eternity.'"
