"Tin Knocker" by Mike Magrann /Book review




By Andy


We’re all just trying to navigate our ways through life, seeing what sticks, requires repair or needs to be discarded. 

It could be a job, a friend, a band or whatever greets us along the path that we tread upon wearing tennis shoes or cowboy boots. 

You could be a tin knocker or a rough rocker — or both, in the case of Mike Magrann. His tough-as-steel yet heartwarming second book takes us from the metal shop to Channel Three’s rock world and beyond, where chaos and comfort are constant companions. 

You win, you lose and often find yourself somewhere in between. You fucking go for it each day. Knock things around and see where you fit in. You’ll get where you’re meant to be. 

This solid piece of literary work will guide you through the machinery of life, bend your emotions a bit and unleash a hook and chorus to send you into the day. 

Let the walk begin.
