For thirty years, Liberty DeVitto was the driving force behind one of the biggest pop artists of all time. With his intense drive and New York swagger, he created the grooves for 13 platinum albums that sold over 150 million copies, writing and performing the drum parts on 22 of 23 top-40 hits and all 6 Grammy-winning recordings. He toured the world as one of the most recognized drummers of his era. However, this success came at a cost. Liberty's story unfolds as an Italian-American kid who chased his dreams, achieving unimaginable success only to see it crumble, leading to a rebirth after enduring broken relationships, divorce, substance abuse, and the loss of loved ones. In this compelling memoir, he reflects on his immigrant roots and life on Long Island, tracing his journey from early childhood bands through the local club scene to stardom with Billy Joel. He recounts the making of each album in detail, sharing memories from recording sessions and stories from the production and tour of River of Dreams, capturing the end of his tenure. This is a tale of pursuing dreams, a love story between a drummer and his craft, and an insider’s perspective on the music of Billy Joel from the best seat in the house: the drum throne.
