Notas del episodio
Music journalist and author Joel Selvin joins Staci on today's "Rock & Roll Nightmares" podcast. He wrote the incredible recent release, "Altamont: The Rolling Stones, the Hells Angels, and the Inside Story of Rock's Darkest Day." ...But today, they're going to talk about his brand new book, a deep dive into session drummer Jim Gordon, whose storied career ended with him behind bars for the murder of his mother. The book is called "Drums & Demons." Joel's aim is to restore the man's reputation in terms of his contribution to music—from his work with The Beach Boys, Eric Clapton, Carly Simon, and so many more. On this show, he discusses not only Jim's music, but music history, session musicians' unique contributions, as well as the mental health crisis in Jim's day--and now. It's a fascinating episode that covers a lot of ground!
