Beschreibung

A memoir from a man present at the birth of modern rock and the author of And the Roots of Rhythm Remain, praised by Robert Plant, Brian Eno and more

'From Dylan to Pink Floyd, Boyd was there and can remember it all' Daily Express

When Muddy Waters came to London in the early '60s, Joe Boyd was his tour manager. When Dylan went electric at the Newport Festival, Joe Boyd was plugging in his guitar. When it was the summer of love, Joe Boyd was running the coolest club in London, the UFO. When a bunch of club regulars called Pink Floyd recorded their first single, Joe Boyd was the producer. When a young songwriter named Nick Drake wanted to give his demo tape to someone, he chose Joe Boyd.

More than any previous '60s music autobiography, Joe Boyd's White Bicycles offers the real story of what it was like to be there at the time. As well as the '60s heavy-hitters, this book also offers wonderfully vivid portraits of a whole host of other musicians. His greatest coup is bringing to life the famously elusive figure of Nick Drake - the first time he's been written about by anyone who knew him well.

'Profound ... and beyond' Robert Plant
