ABOUT THE BOOK
Here is a hard rock memoir—essentially an authorized bio on the endearing British rock band Humble Pie—as told from the drum throne and backstage hallways during the emerging days of the Seventies classic rock era. In 1969, Jerry Shirley was chosen to drum in a new band led by Steve Marriott and Peter Frampton. He had just turned 17. Along with bassist Greg Ridley, and manager Dee Anthony, the Pie started a 6-year journey that stormed the US and defined Arena Rock—bigger sound, bigger contracts, and bigger parties.
