Synopsis
Peter 'Ginger' Baker is a legend. A pioneering drummer who transcends genre, he's done much to popularise world music with his fierce passion for the rhythms of Africa. He is that rare thing - both critically acclaimed and globally successful. He has also lived a life more rock'n'roll than most., The music, the marriages, the polo, the drugs, the trans-Saharan trucking scheme--the drummer best-known for his work in Cream and his contributions to World Music tells his whole fascinating story Peter "Ginger" Baker is a legend. A pioneering drummer who has transcended genres, he did much to popularize world music with his fierce passion for the rhythms of Africa. He is that rare thing, a critically-acclaimed musician who has enjoyed global success with not one but several supergroups to his name, including Cream and Blind Faith. Here, Ginger tells his story for the first time and without any self-censorship. It's an often harrowing, but honest journey from his humble beginnings in war-torn south London to his adopted home in South Africa's beautiful Western Cape--complete with polo club. He tells of his life-long love of jazz, how he discovered the drums and African music, and life on the road. He also confesses to the heroin use that should have killed him in his colorful 1960s prime, working and playing with the biggest names of the time. In the 1970s, he came up with a trans-Saharan trucking scheme, was a successful rally driver, built an ill-fated recording studio, and discovered a consuming passion for playing polo. He talks candidly of the loss and recovery of his fortune, his three marriages, Cream's 1993 induction into the rock'n'roll hall of fame, their subsequent successful reunion in 2005, and his hopes for the future., Ginger tells his story for the first time. It's often harrowing but outrageously honest as he journey's from war-torn south London to his adopted home in South Africa's beautiful Western Cape - where he has his own polo club. Along the way he tells of his life-long love of jazz, how he discovered the drums, life on the road and reveals the heroin use that should have killed him. He talks candidly of his three marriages, his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Cream in 1993, their 2005 reunion and his own plans for the future.

    Hellraiser, a must read!

    This is a “must have” book for any music fan and especially for drummers of any level! Older guys like me, will have many historical gaps filled in while loosing some of our enthusiasm for Jack Brice, and at the same time affirming Ginger’s genius..and it a captivating easy read! Again, kudos to Nettie for keeping her dad in our minds and hearts….

    More Cream please

    Not bad for a compact autobiography. Would have more written about time with Cream and Blind Faith.

    If this is true it is incredible!

    I bought this as an anniversary/thank you gift for my husband. He has enjoyed it thoroughly. Every time he picks it up, I can hear burst of laughter and complete amazement. He always shares with me the high points and I have heard enough that when he is done, I can't wait to read it myself. Who would have known this man led such an interesting life.
