Ronnie Rush's first book was the autobiographical Life of a Roadie:The Gypsy in Me, published in 2013. Walk a Mile in My Shoes, according to the author, "gives you insight into how things worked out over the years" since 2013. More than an update, this book presents many of the events Rush has encountered in his life and he offers lessons and advice that came from confronting those events. Among the topics covered are friendship, life goals. money, generations, self-reliance, loss of family members (in this case his brother) and close friends (Danny Hamilton, for example), and how music can be related to certain events. Rush has worked as a trucker, a limo driver, a roadie for the bands Shoestring and Hamilton, Joe Frank, and Reynolds/Dennison, a concert promotor, and a large market DJ, so he has lots of experiences from which to draw his lessons and advice. I didn't always agree with what he's written, but I thought the book was an interesting read. If you read his first book, you may consider reading this follow-up. If you're thinking of buying this one, it's best to read Life as a Roadie first for more background information.
