Blood, Guts, and No Glory!

Blood, Guts, and No Glory is a raw, behind-the-scenes look at chasing rock 'n' roll dreams in the 1960s and 1970s. Larry McNeny began as a teenage musician in Dallas, Texas, building a regional band that shared stages with legends like The Troggs, Mitch Ryder, Iron Butterfly, and The Who. But when stardom slipped away and his bandmates scattered, Larry discovered his true calling: the business side of music. From booking gigs and negotiating deals to rubbing shoulders with rock's elite, Larry's relentless drive eventually led him to Los Angeles and then Tulsa, where he landed in the orbit of Eric Clapton and bassist Carl Radle. Immersed in the whirlwind of tours, trades, and backstage chaos, Larry learned that success in the music industry often came with sacrifice—and that the pursuit of glory was as grueling as it was electrifying. Part memoir, part music history, Blood, Guts, and No Glory captures the grit, heartbreak, and unexpected turns of a life lived at the heart of rock 'n' roll. A standout in the TCU Press Texas Music Series, this book resonates with readers of music biographies, cultural history, and classic rock fans eager for an insider's view of the industry's golden age.
