Book excerpt: The fully authorized and official biography of legendary Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, one of the world’s most revered and celebrated musicians of the last half century. Forewords by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Charlie Watts was one of the most decorated musicians in the world, having joined the Rolling Stones, a few months after their formation, early in 1963. A student of jazz drumming, he was headhunted by the band after bumping into them regularly in London’s rhythm and blues clubs. Once installed at the drum seat, he didn’t miss a gig, album or tour in his 60 years in the band. He was there throughout the swinging sixties, the early shot at superstardom and the Stones' world conquest; and throughout the debauchery of the 1970s, typified by 1972's Exile on Main St., considered one of the great albums of the century. By the 1980s, Charlie was battling his own demons, but emerged unscathed to enhance his unparalleled reputation even further over the ensuing decades. Watts went through band bust-ups, bereavements and changes in personnel, managers, guitarists and rhythm sections, but remained the rock at the heart of the Rolling Stones for nearly 60 years—the thoughtful, intellectual but no less compelling counterpoint to the raucousness of his bandmates Keith Richards, Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood. And this is his story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sympathy for the Drummer: Why Charlie Watts Matters is both a gonzo rush—capturing the bristling energy of the Rolling Stones and the times in which they lived—and a wide-eyed reflection on why the Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band in the World needed the world's greatest rock 'n' roll drummer. Across five decades, Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts has had the best seat in the house. Charlie Watts, the anti-rock star—an urbane jazz fan with a dry wit and little taste for the limelight—was witness to the most savage years in rock history, and emerged a hero, a warrior poet. With his easy swing and often loping, uneven fills, he found nuance in a music that often had little room for it, and along with his greatest ally, Keith Richards, he gave the Stones their swaggering beat. While others battled their drums, Charlie played his modest kit with finesse and humility, and yet his relentless grooves on the nastiest hard-rock numbers of the era ("Gimme Shelter," "Street Fighting Man," "Brown Sugar," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," etc.) delivered a dangerous authenticity to a band that on their best nights should have been put in jail. Author Mike Edison, himself a notorious raconteur and accomplished drummer, tells a tale of respect and satisfaction that goes far beyond drums, drumming, and the Rolling Stones, ripping apart the history of rock'n'roll, and celebrating sixty years of cultural upheaval. He tears the sheets off of the myths of music making, shredding the phonies and the frauds, and unifies the frayed edges of disco, punk, blues, country, soul, jazz, and R&B—the soundtrack of our lives. Highly opinionated, fearless, and often hilarious, Sympathy is an unexpected treat for music fans and pop culture mavens, as edgy and ribald as the Rolling Stones at their finest, never losing sight of the sex and magic that puts the roll in the rock —the beat, that crazy beat!—and the man who drove the band, their true engine, the utterly irreplaceable Charlie Watts.

Book excerpt: Mediados de 1962. Los Rolling Stones, recién constituidos, están buscando un baterista permanente. Se fijan en Charlie Watts, un músico de jazz muy conocido en el ambiente de los clubes de rhythm and blues londinenses. Por suerte para los futuros seguidores de los Stones en todo el mundo, consiguen convencerle de que se una al grupo. Una vez sentado a la batería, Charlie ya nunca perdió el compás. Estuvo ahí en los movidos años sesenta, cuando los Stones alcanzaron el superestrellato, también durante los excesos de la década de 1970, que cristalizaron en el mítico álbum Exile on Main Street . Durante los ochenta salió indemne de la lucha contra sus demonios personales, lo que cimentó su reputación de ser el contrapunto reflexivo y culto —aunque no por ello menos fascinante— de sus compañeros de banda más escandalosos. A lo largo de casi siete décadas �pese a las peleas, los altibajos y las vicisitudes de la banda, tanto en el escenario como fuera de él—, Charlie siguió siendo un pilar fundamental de los Rolling Stones. Al mismo tiempo, era la antítesis de la estrella de rock arquetípica: un hombre extremadamente discreto y reservado que valoraba a su familia por encima de todo. Basada en nuevas entrevistas con sus familiares, amigos y compañeros de banda —incluidos Mick Jagger y Keith Richards—, Charlie’s Good Tonight es la biografía oficial y autorizada de Charlie Watts: el relato de una vida extraordinaria, contada como nunca antes.

Book excerpt: What is Chasing Charlie? Exceptionally gifted blues guitarist Charlie Morningstar thinks he knows and he’s spent 20 years on the road running from it. Performing for only a sophisticated audience raised on the same kind of classic jazz and blues that shaped his strong musical upbringing, Charlie Morningstar has more important goals than fame and fortune; Charlie Morningstar wants to stay alive! Denying him, his blues band and his brother the chance at superstardom, Charlie goes from one gig to another struggling to keep his eye on the road ahead while always looking back. His sanity begins to unravel until one roller coaster night when déjà vu and incredible serendipity converge to set Charlie on a new road that takes him to where the chase began. Charlie finds a greater reason to stay and is reunited with an old family friend who has vast knowledge of his past, an offer for the present, and ideas about his future; all of which he’s taking to his grave!

Book excerpt: Often appearing as a mere onlooker who didn't really want to be there, Charlie Watts - 'the silent Stone' - embraced fame reluctantly. Yet, ironically, if any one of the Stones could have made it big without the rest, it surely would have been Watts, who showed as much early promise as an artist as he did a jazz drummer. Understated and seemingly underwhelmed, Watts provided a stark contrast to the brash Keith Richards and the bohemian Brian Jones, and was, in some ways, an unlikely candidate for the drummer's stool. Forty years later, however, he is regarded by many as the one factor that has kept the band going, bringing vitality to their music as well as artistry to their album covers. Charlie Watts, remarkably the first biography of the drummer, continues Alan Clayson's study of The Rolling Stones with an intriguing insight into the life of the man who has been keeping time for the Stones for over four decades. Alan Clayson is a noted writer and author of many musical biographies, including The Beatles Box biography set.
