Endearingly, the differences between Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson
were key ingredients in what would become the musical and writing
chemistry of Supertramp - a band that made a fascinating and
diverse contribution to music. From their first commercial
breakthrough in 1974 with Crime Of The Century, they exceeded their
own expectations with the colossal success of Breakfast In America
in 1979. But it was never a smooth journey. With ups and downs
financially, commercially and in terms of their working
relationship, Supertramp lived the highs and lows of the music
business. From local gigs to many highly demanding tours, this book
documents it all. As Roger Hodgson once said, "The music always
came pretty easily. Both the music and the lyrics come from the
same place. For me, composing is literally losing myself in the
music. I let the inspiration just come naturally. It is a very
magical process. When I start hearing melodies, then I just start
singing and the words start coming. The words will have something
to do with what I am going through in my life, or what's in my
heart at the time. I will have an idea of what the song's about and
then work with the melody."
