Pressestimmen
"'Don't read this book on a train. I did, then missed my stop. This is the best book about music I've read in years, and a gripping piece of social history' Brian Eno 'It is a wonderful book, full of interesting and quirky detail, funny and wise, and elegantly written' Zoe Heller 'Fascinating, captivating and enthralling - what a life, and what a way to write it!' Charlie Gillett"
Kurzbeschreibung
When Muddy Waters came to London at the start of the 60s, a kid from Boston called Joe Boyd was his tour manager; when Dylan went electric at the Newport Festival, Joe Boyd was plugging in his guitar; when the summer of love got going, 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; and 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. 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. As well as the 60s heavy-hitters, this book also offers wonderfully vivid portraits of a whole host of other musicians: everyone from the great jazzman Coleman Hawkins to the folk diva Sandy Denny, Lonnie Johnson to Eric Clapton, The Incredible String Band to Fairport Convention. This is a simultaneous release of a "White Bicycles" 2-CD compilation of Joe Boyd's 1960s record productions. BBC 2 documentary on Folk to be aired Spring 2006 featuring Joe Boyd.

Joe Boyd ist besonders als Produzent herausragender englischer Folk-Rock-Musik aus den 60er und 70er jahren bekannt, er hat aber auch einer Reihe anderer Künstler produziert. So stehen neben Fairport Convention, Sandy Denny, Fotheringay, The Incredible String Band, Nick Drake, Dr Strangely Strange, Vashti Bunyan, John & Beverly Martyn, und Kate & Anna McGarrigle auch REM, 10,000 Maniacs, Richard Thompson, Dagmar Krause, Billy Bragg, Ivo Papasov, Ketama, Toumani Diabate und The Hank Dogs auf seiner Diskographie.
Das Buch ist sehr gut geschrieben, ich habe es in einem Rutsch durchgelesen und jede Seite genossen. Man erfährt eine Menge über die Londoner Szene in den 60er und 70er Jahren (das Buch endet etwa 1980) und viele Details zu den Künstlern und zur Musik. Interessant auch die Beschreibung von Joe Boyds Jugend, seine Liebe für Blues and Jazz und die Touren, die er als Manager u.a. für Muddy Waters und John Lee Hooker organisierte.
Fotos und ein guter Index ergänzen dieses tolle Buch über die Musikszene der 60er und 70er Jahre. Definitv ein Muss!

Der tolle Einstieg lässt große Erwartungen aufkommen: Boyds Eindrücke vor und während eines Floyd-Konzerts 1967. Mitten drin in einer der aufregendsten Musik-Revolutionen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Leider hält Boyd nicht ganz dieses Spannungsniveau. Schwierig manchmal die fast selbstbeweihräuchernde Beschreibung seiner Leistungen als Produzent. Trotzdem für Fans der Rockmusik (-geschichte) empfehlenswert, vor allem wenn man die besprochenen Musiker und ihre Werke parallel mithört. Empfehlenswert vor allem Tomorrow, Floyd, natürlich Dylan, Nick Drake und Fairport Convention.

Window on the golden era of rock
6. Dezember 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
Written by a man who has produced so many classic albums and who has encouraged and brought to the limelight many artists I love, I simply had to get this book. It certainly delivers, too. Many, many interesting facts, dates, anecdotes about as many artists are crammed into the pages, so it makes for avid reading, especially if you're a music fan interested in the music in the past century (for we can not only read about obvious artists and groups like Fairport Convention and the Incredible String Band, but about jazz artists like Duke Ellington and Sonny Rollins as well).
The downside of this book for me is the fact that it stays a bit on the surface. Both the artists as indeed the writer himself stay a bit distant, so that I didn't feel as involved as I could be. It might well be that Joe Boyd just wants to keep it factual and concise, but I think that he could have written a better book had he chosen to go a little deeper into (some of) the artists whose records he has produced.
Nevertheless, this is a fine book and you'll love all he has to write. Like I said, for me not buying and reading it immediately was not an option.

Engaging book by Joe Boyd.

Format:Taschenbuch
White Bicycles, by Joe Boyd, is a "pick up and don't put down all weekend" type book. Boyd has great storytelling style, here telling us about his career and where it took him with various recording artists, his escapades and participation in London in the "60's", and his professional development as a producer. I got the book primarily because I am a Nick Drake fan. The two existing Nick biographies, while diligently researched, and containing info based on many interviews, still have that degree of detachment that necessarily exists when the authors have never personally met their subject.I certainly wasn't disappointed-as Boyd's few chapters on Nick brought this departed artist to life for me more than the two existing bios. He conveys his interactions with the shy artist, and writes about him in a way that lets us see the person as well as the artist. Yes, it is very funny to read as Boyd describes how Nick answered his telephone (as if it had never rung before) and his first meeting with him after the intro by Ashley of Fairport Convention, then moving in to the production of Five Leaves and Bryter Layter, and Nick's decision to take a new direction w/Pink Moon, which Boyd did not produce.
But there are also so many other artists! The book is a fascinating journey through the emerging rock/pop/folk scenes of the 60's early 70's on both sides of the Atlantic, with some gigantic names, and some not so well known on one shore or another. My feeling upon finishing the book was a Question: I wonder what he'll publish next? I want to be there.

Not long enough

This book is an interesting look into the swinging London of the 1960's from the viewpoint of an American looking to make a name for himself in the music biz. Like fellow American Shel Talmy Joe Boyd was involved in many of London's top bands by running the UFO club and producing the Pink Floyd's first single, producing and managing Fairport Convention and Nick Drake and capitalizing on the new interest in the British folk music scene. This book starts with Boyd's childhood and his experiences working for the Newport Folk Festival, Elektra records, and his own Witchseason Productions. It is very well written and it makes me wonder why he has not written a definitive book on Nick Drake but that's for another time. If you love reading about music in the 1960's or just music in general this is a great book albeit very short.
