Book Reviews of Backbeat: Earl Palmer's Story

Book Review: A little disapointing
Summary: 2 Stars

Earl Palmer IS a great drummer, probably one of the most recorded ever. A true creator that shaped the way we all listen to drums and popular music these days. Unfortunately this book doesn't get very deep into the music aspect of his life, but like many other biographies, talks about a lot of other subjects. Don't get me wrong, it is a very interesting book. Especially on the subject of racial discrimination in the U.S. The way New Orleans is described is great. I was expecting something more on the musician side than on the personal side. That might be what you're looking for.
