“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.”

—BN.com, Most Anticipated List, June 2023

"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.'"
