Description
Narrated by Liberty DeVitto.
Foreword narrated by Billy Joel.
Also includes additional narration from Torrey DeVitto (Actress - Chicago Med).
Audiobook includes additional stories not contained in the print edition.
For 30 years, Liberty DeVitto was the driving force behind one of the biggest pop artists of all time. With his intense drive, endless creativity, and New York swagger, Liberty created the grooves for 13 platinum Billy Joel albums that have sold over 150 million copies, and wrote and performed the drum parts on 22 of Billy's 23 top-40 hits and all of his six GRAMMY@ Award-winning recordings. He toured the world multiple times as one of the most well-known drummers of his era. The amazing success did not come without a price. This is Liberty's story: a tale of an Italian-American kid who followed his dream and attained unimaginable success, only to see it crumble before his eyes, and ultimately experience a rebirth after passing through the fire of broken relationships, divorce, substance abuse, the death of a brother and a bandmate and the pain of losing the persona the world knew as "Billy Joel's drummer".
In this compelling memoir, Liberty takes you back to his immigrant roots and ultimate settling on Long Island, a place he recounts in warm detail. He then traces a musician's journey: early childhood bands, a rise through the local club scene, wedding bands, building a career, his first tours, and then a juggernaut of success, excess, and stardom with Billy Joel. The making of each of Billy's albums is recounted in detail, with specific memories from the recording sessions of every song on every album from Turnstiles through Storm Front. Liberty then shares stories from the production and tour for River of Dreams and the end of his tenure with Billy.

This is how a Bio should be!
I'm always very interested in Drummer's and when i got the book from Hudson music, i knew it was something special but than heard there was an audio book, i optioned the latter.
Allot of musical bio's are not to much detailled and pretty much cashgrabs,
Well, in this case here are about all the ingredients for a rockstar but with every part of Liberty's life, is a palpable emotion that is human, wich makes the parts from Selfpitty, hope, joy, rock 'n roll, drums, etc etc the more real.
Liberty's story brings you not only to the drums (note there are no drumspecifics, you will not know wich drums he endorses) but you will learn a about culture, and culture is what keeps music alive and originates a person to grow up in, from his earlyest memory's to his latest he tells them with passion, heartache and care.
Before i heard this book, to me he was Billy's Drummer.
Now he's Liberty, Drummer, motivational person and a positive influence on life.
As for the music, he goes over each album and recording so there are many musical bits for the music lovers and story's that are only on, of course Audible :)
