JOE BOYD reading & booksigning for "White Bicycles: Making Music in the 1960s" Wednesday, March 21 at 7:00 pm at The Booksmith (1644 Haight Street in San Francisco)
Joe Boyd’s first job was to bring Muddy Waters to Britain in 1964. When Dylan went electric at Newport, Boyd was stage manager. His first session as record producer was with Eric Clapton. A year later, he produced Pink Floyd’s first single. He then discovered, produced and managed Nick Drake. Joe Boyd lived – and helped shape – the many facets of rock, which he recounts in "White Bicycles: Making Music in the 1960s."
Record and film producer Joe Boyd was born in Boston, and produced the work of Pink Floyd, Nick Drake, Fairport Convention, REM and others. He also produced the soundtracks to "Deliverance" and "A Clockwork Orange," as well the documentary, "Jimi Hendrix," and the acclaimed film, "Scandal." Boyd lives in London
