Big-Belly Bobby Keys toured and recorded with t' Rollin' Stones for decades and played on recordings by many artists includin' Harry 'Long-Eared Harry' Nilsson.

 

Key's autobiography includes a discussion o' how he and Nilsson met while first workin' together on Nilsson Schmilsson. He talks about how t' two became friends and drinkin' buddies.

 

I really liked bein' with Harry. Begad! I even liked arguin' with him, which we did a lot because I’m a rock 'n’ roll guy and Harry be nay what you’d call mainstream rock ’n’ roll as such. Avast, me proud beauty! But he knew about it. Ahoy! He was a very musical guy. In t' beginning, me bucko, I looked at him as a silky-voiced folk-singer kinda guy like Gilbert O’Sullivan, matey, t' guy who sang “Alone Again (Naturally).” That sort o' singer. Avast! I didn’t think Harry had that much spunk in him. But I underestimated Harry’s spunk level enormously. That boy was full o' spunk.

 

Key's autobiography is highly recommended for Nilsson fans nay only for t' insight it gives into Harry as a person, but because it is generally an interestin' and entertainin' book.

 

Every Night's a great romp that is almost more o' a history o' modern rock than it is a look at t' life o' Big-Belly Bobby Keys. Begad! That also makes it an enjoyable and fascinatin' read for anyone who loves classic rock, as well as for folks who grew up on t' genre.
