The very first Y&T book is out! Down For the Count: The Y&T Album Review is the name, and Tim Durling is the author. Tim was kind enough to join Jex, John and I on a Friday night to talk about it. Mr. Durling’s humble nature and musical knowledge was on full display as we discussed:
- How the book came together, and why it has a discussion-style format.
- Assembling the panel.
- Y&T’s lack of big-time success. The why’s, the wherefore’s, and the what-might-have-beens.
- Fans in waiting: turning new people on to Y&T.
- Contacting Hugh Syme.
- Working with Sean Kelly.
- The importance of artwork, a good logo, and music videos.
- The Y&T discography.
Please support the music community and check out the book if you can! We are all very proud of Down For the Count, and you might just discover a new favourite band. That’s all we really hope for in the end.
Thanks again to Tim, John and Jex for a great show. Tune in next week for a pre-recorded solo show called Too Much Music.
Go for the throat!

Great show, Mike & team – very educational! Henry.
