Book description
Stories to Tell - A Soundtrack of Life in Audiobook Form
Listening to Richard Marx's Stories to Tell feels like stepping into a living room where the legendary singer-songwriter is sharing his best moments over coffee. The narrator-Marx himself-delivers every anecdote with that unmistakable blend of humor, candor and warmth that fans have come to love on stage and in interviews.
From the first track he sets the tone by recounting how a single line in a song for Kenny Rogers sparked a hit, to the playful confession about ending up curled up on Olivia Newton-John's couch while watching Xanadu. Each story is short enough to keep your attention but packed with juicy details that only an insider could know. The audio pacing feels natural; Marx never rushes through his memories, letting each laugh or sigh land just right.
What makes the audiobook truly engaging is how Marx transitions from light-hearted celebrity banter to deeper reflections on the music business. He speaks openly about the "greedy executives" he's had to navigate and the grueling tour schedules that test even the most seasoned performers. Yet his voice never loses its optimism-he emphasizes the joy of connecting with fans, describing sold-out shows as a reward for all the hard work.
The latter part of the book offers an intimate look at Marx's songwriting process. He explains how personal experiences-from falling in love with Daisy Fuentes to dealing with an unexplained illness-feed into his lyrics. These insights are both inspiring and relatable, showing that even a global superstar still feels the same emotional currents as anyone else.
Overall, Stories to Tell is more than a memoir; it's a conversational tour through decades of music history told by someone who lived it. The audiobook format brings Marx's personality to life, making every story feel like a backstage pass. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to his work, this recording delivers entertainment, insight and a touch of heart-an excellent addition to any listener's collection.
