Bobby Keys has lived the kind of like that qualifies as a rock 'n'
roll folktale. In his early teens, Keys bribed his way into
neighbour Buddy Holly's garage band rehearsals, then took up the
saxophone because it was the only instrument left unclaimed in the
school band. While still in his teens, he convinced his grandfather
to sign his guardianship over to Crickets drummer J.I. Allison so
that Keys could go on tour. Keys spent years on the road during the
early days of rock 'n' roll. He was a top touring and session sax
man for the likes of mad Dogs and Englishmen, George Harrison and
John Lennon. In 1970 he began his gig with The Rolling Stones.
Every Night's A Saturday Night finds Keys setting down the many
tales of an over-the-top rock 'n' roll life in his own inimitable
voice. With a foreword by Keith Richards and exclusive interviews
with famous friends and fellow travellers, like Joe Cocker and Jim
Keltner, Every Night's A Saturday Night paints a unique picture of
the coming-of-age of rock 'n' roll itself while celebrating how
Key's raw talent and outsized personality have elevated him from
sideman to rock icon.
