* BACKSTAGE PASSES
& BACKSTABBING BASTARDS

   A rock 'n roll classic. Al's quirky life, from would-be teenage rocker, to crashing Bob Dylan's recording session and playing the organ on Highway 61, to forming Blood, Sweat, and Tears and masterminding the Super Sessions, it's all here...plus, in this updated version, Al rides with us all the way back to the end of the 20th century. There has never been a more wickedly humorous and honest book by a man who has made such rock history.

   By Al Kooper with Ben Edmonds. The first edition was subtitled -ROCK'N'ROLL LIFE IN THE SIXTIES,
then it became -MEMOIRS OF A ROCK'N ROLL SURVIVOR.
