Description

Hard Rock Memoir: Behind the Drums of Humble Pie Jerry Shirley's memoir offers an intimate look at the British rock band Humble Pie during their rise to fame in the 1970s. At just 17, Shirley joined the band, which also featured Steve Marriott and Peter Frampton, and went on to experience the highs and lows of the era. With a wicked sense of humor, Shirley recounts the band's sold-out shows, recording sessions with iconic engineers, and the excesses of the rock music industry. Shirley's story is a rare glimpse into the rock music industry, featuring encounters with future legends and behind-the-scenes tales of the band's journey. From drum shopping with Keith Moon to performing at iconic venues like Shea Stadium and Hyde Park, Shirley's memoir provides a unique perspective on the era. Written in his own voice, Shirley's memoir is a candid and entertaining account of life on the road with Humble Pie.
