À propos de cet audio

In this revealing autobiography, Canada’s first lady of song, for the first time, tells the whole story of her astonishing 40-year career in show biz. It is a candid retrospective of the extraordinary success achieved, and the prices that had to be paid.

“After ‘Snowbird’ hit, I was swept up like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, and catapulted into a strange new universe … If I thought for a moment that I was really in control of events, I was deluded.” Anne Murray

An unflinching self-portrait of Canada’s first great female recording artist, All of Me documents the life of Anne Murray, from her humble origins in the tragedy-plagued coal-mining town of Springhill, Nova Scotia, to her arrival on the world stage. Anne recounts her story: the battles with her record companies over singles and albums; the struggle with drug- and alcohol-ridden band members; the terrible guilt and loneliness of being away from her two young children; her divorce from the man who helped launch her career, Bill Langstroth; and the deaths of two of her closest confidantes. The result is a must-hear autobiography by Canada’s beloved songbird.

Ce que les critiques en disent

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

"It is warm, straightforward and candid, and Posner has wisely dimmed his own stylistic light in order to let her voice come through. And it does, sometimes with low-key, self-deprecating humour and surprising honesty, and always with a lack of pretentiousness."—The Globe and Mail

"In keeping with Murray's down-to-earth honesty, the [book]...provides a balanced account of her life that covers both career highs (her 54 million records sold and dozens of awards) and personal lows (the dissolution of her marriage and her daughter's struggle with anorexia)."—Calgary Sun

"Anne Murray's new memoir blows the lid off her image as the fresh-faced all-Canadian singing sensation.... A fast-paced and revealing autobiography."—Winnipeg Free Press

I’ve been a Anne Murray fan since I was a wee child. I was teased by my school mates in high school for listening to her. I so enjoyed hearing her voice read her story! The behind the scenes story of band members and drugs whisked me back to the 70’s and 80’s. Anne’s honesty brought tears to my eyes several times. Thank you for bring you Anne.

Just what I needed

It was evident through this story how very honestly Anne Murray has lived her life. This is a testament to a caring family that has nurtured and encouraged a life lived grounded in love. Thanks for your gift of song, Anne.

Charming

It was delightful to listen to her story. Her honesty, humor and storytelling was very enjoyable.

Well done!

Anne Murray's story is amazing, but the typical Maritime calm drawl makes some of the story rather tedious. Also, the realizm of drugs and booze and everywhere, which makes her story even m ore compelling because we learn that all is not perfect in the life of Anne Murray. I think I would rather have read thtis book than listen

I am not sure what is more enduring about Anne Murray... her as a person or an artist. So authentic and real. In a tough business she never sacrifices her moral compass. I wasn't even a fan... until I listened to her story

It is definitely special when you come across a really good memoir. And this is a really good and very special memoir.
Anne’s words and Anne’s voice. Anne is so generous with the details, no matter how small that you feel like you are right there with her. It is engaging and delightful from the first word to the last. Funny, honest and very informative for an outsider - you cannot help but learn a lot about the business of show business.

Anne’s music was a big deal in my house of many children while growing up on our farm in Alberta. While we could not always agree on all the albums that should be played on any given day and in what order, we did however always agree that an Anne Murray album or two would definitely be included. I could not wait for the next Anne Murray album to be released so I could learn all the songs and sing along no matter the genre of the album. Ultimately we always had a trip to Drumheller planned around the release date of a new album and thus avoided disappointment at the record store, Mom’s doing for sure.

Your music so enriched my youth and today still provides me much joy to hear you sing. Anne, thank you for the music.

All the best, Joyce

Engaging & delightful, Anne’s words, Anne’s voice.
