From the legendary songwriter for Cold Chisel, here is a handsome hardback edition of Don Walker's acclaimed memoir, reissued to commemorate the publication of Don's collected lyrics.

This extraordinary memoir begins with Don Walker's early life in rural Australia and goes up to the late '80s. In mesmerising prose, Walker evokes childhood and youth, wild times in the '70s, life on the road and in Kings Cross, music-making, and much more.

Shots is a stunningly original book, a set of word picturesβ€”shotsβ€”that conjure up the lowlife and backroads of Australia.
