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.

A musicians heartbeat
You could say that Liberty Devitos book is for musicians but it’s so much more than that. It’s about passion and family and the pursuit of a dream. The book is more laid out like Billy Joel’s scenes from an Italian restaurant. Rich real, you know these people.
Devito let’s it all out noting the mistakes missteps both big and small saying many times it was me myself and I who takes responsibility.
And as with many musicians of that era it all started with Paul Mcartneys 1 2 3 4 when the Beatles played on the Ed Sullivan show
