Why Charlie matters!

I stumbled upon a recommended read&hear at the site americansongwriter.com. There, in an article by Paul Zollo, I found a review of Mike Edison‘s book “Sympathy for the drummer“.

Mike Edison: Sympathy for the drummer

Mike, a drummer himself, gave his book the sub-title “Why Charlie Watts Matters.” That’s a great line and luckily, there’s 2 hours more for us. Paul Zollo interviewed Mike Edison and we can hear this interview in two parts of 1 hour each:

Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts is celebrated in 2 Hour special. Music host Paul Ingles talks with drummer and writer Mike Edison, author of the book SYMPATHY FOR THE DRUMMER: WHY CHARLIE WATTS MATTERS. Mike lays out a playlist of music showcasing Watts’ influences and Watts’ own seminal performances with the Rolling Stones
