Different Every Time

by Marcus O'Dair

A British music journalist… debuts with an account of the troubled but richly musical life of the legendary drummer, composer, and lyricist—now 70—who has blended jazz, rock, and many other influences into works that both startle and entertain… A light, admiring, illuminating text that will appeal to groupies, general readers, and most others in between. — Kirkus
