Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book was...well, it was a great read. Mr. Whitcomb describes His 1960s odyssey in great detail, with the honesty and ignorance of an outsider. It has heartbreaks and troubles, and miniature and near triumphs, at least that seems to be how the author sees some episodes in His life. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to know what the music scene in the early 1960s was like from a non-hippie across-the-pond musician point-of-view, anyone who likes good, true stories, and also to anyone with a sense of humour.

In 1965, Ian Whitcomb's novelty rocker "You Turn Me On" was number eight on the national charts, along with entries from the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Beach Boys. In 1966 he was nowheresville - a certified rock 'n' roll flash in the pan. It is, then, with a survivor's humor that he tells both his and rock's story from its beginnings in the late fifties to 1969, the year of Woodstock and psychedelic dreams of universal peace and love. Here is the saga of the British Invasion, the genesis of folk rock, the blooming of Flower Power, the Summer of Love and the inner workings of the pop music biz, brought to life by a true insider who is also an uninhibitedly acute observer.
