Recenzii

Gloriously entertaining ... even those unfamiliar with back catalogues and B-sides will be intrigued by Boyd's ability to dish the dirt
The simple brilliance of White Bicycles is that its author never overstates his own importance or exaggerates his failings, and still ends up telling an irresistible tale.
An excellent memoir
[Boyd] was at the heart of the action ... But there's much to interest non-music fans as well
Drake's suicide provides the memoir with its most poignant episode, but there are plenty of colourful anecdotes
A brisk, wised-up and highly entertaining consideration of a crucial musical epoch's many facets.
One of the most entertaining and insightful rock 'n' roll books I've read
From Dylan to Pink Floyd, Boyd was there and luckily for us, he can remember it all
Whenever anything musically noteworthy occurred in the 60s, Joe Boyd was probably nearby ... White Bicycles bursts with rollicking anecdotes, eyewitness accounts and canny observations about politics and youth ... Boyd guides us through the decade with keen ears and restless intellectual curiosity
Brilliant and inspiring ... one of the finest music books ever
Boyd's book And the Roots of Rhythm Remain is the Proust of music history - à la recherche of much music lost, here regained and affirmed in our present
