Texas singer/songwriter Vince Bell's story begins in the 1970s.
Following the likes of Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, Bell and his
contemporaries Lyle Lovett, Nanci Griffith, and Lucinda Williams
were on the rise. In December of 1982, Bell was on his way home
from the studio (where he and hired guns Stevie Ray Vaughan and
Eric Johnson had just recorded three of Bell's songs) when a drunk
driver broadsided him at 65 mph. Thrown over 60 feet from his car,
Bell suffered multiple lacerations to his liver, embedded glass,
broken ribs, a mangled right forearm, and a severe traumatic brain
injury. Not only was his debut album waylaid for a dozen years,
life as he'd known it would never be the same. In detailing his
recovery from the accident and his round-about climb back on stage,
Bell shines a light in those dark corners of the music business
that, for the lone musician whose success is measured not by the
Top 40 but by nightly victories, usually fall outside of the
spotlight. Bell's prose is not unlike his lyrics: spare, beautiful,
evocative, and often sneak-up-on-you funny. His chronicle of his
own life and near death on the road reveals what it means to live
for one's art.
