context_page_description: Clinton Walker is an Australian writer, best known for his works on popular music but with a broader interest in social and cultural history and theory. Sydney's Sun-Herald has called him "our best chronicler of Australian grass-roots culture." Books he's published like Inner City Sound, Buried Country and History is Made at Night have had a seminal impact on the Australian music scene. Similarly, while he found best-selling success as Bon Scott's biographer, Walker's non-music books like Football Life and Golden Miles have offered an appreciation of subjects hitherto hardly deemed worthy of serious consideration. More recently, in early 2018, he courted controversy when his book Deadly Woman Blues was withdrawn from sale to be pulped after only a couple of weeks on the shelves.
