Media Reviews
An excellent memoir * Sunday Express *
[Boyd] was at the heart of the action... But there's much to interest non-music fans as well * Mail on Sunday *
Drake's suicide provides the memoir with its most poignant episode, but there are plenty of colourful anecdotes * Sunday Telegraph *
Gloriously entertaining... even those unfamiliar with back catalogues and B-sides will be intrigued by Boyd's ability to dish the dirt * Observer *
From Dylan to Pink Floyd, Boyd was there and luckily for us, he can remember it all * Daily Express *
The simple brilliance of White Bicycles is that its author never overstates his own importance or exaggerates his failings, and still ends up telling an irresistible tale. * New York Times *
A brisk, wised-up and highly entertaining consideration of a crucial musical epoch's many facets. * Kirkus *
One of the most entertaining and insightful rock 'n' roll books I've read -- Noel Mengel * Courier Mail, Brisbane Australia *
