Lucky Man: The Autobiography [Greg Lake] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Lucky Man: The Autobiography

Review: Perspectives and backstories will keep you hooked - So happy with this purchase. Greg Lake was the first voice (and guitar tone) I ever fell in love with (at 12 years old!) - and my love for this wildly gifted musician endures!. Wonderful book by an exceptional man who lived an exceptional life.
Review: At Long Last, the Greg Lake Autobiography - I first looked for this book at least five years ago, when Greg Lake mentioned that he was writing it and that it was due to be published in conjunction with a tour and a CD compilation. It never showed up, not then or in the year or two after, and then Lake passed away. It finally showed up a few months ago and got past me, till now. I'm only about 1/2 way through, to the second year or so of the existence of ELP, but it's already been worth it for the insights that he provides as to the workings of the trio. While reading it, I do wish at times that someone could have sat down with Lake while he was working on the book and asked him questions that he could have addressed, to expand on certain subjects, but what is here is illuminating, in terms of how various decisions were made, by him and others, along the course of his career. He seems to deliberately avoid saying much negative about anyone with whom he has worked, and appears to have taken most of his career ups and downs in stride, personally and professionally. For all of the different directions that his music and career took, he seems to have been, essentially, a rather decent, simple man from Dorset at heart (his explanation for why he composed "I Believe In Father Christmas" is something I've always found touching in its simplicity -- this may be why, as ELP's music evolved and became more complex musically and thematically, he and the band turned to Peter Sinfield to provide lyrics for some of those works). He is a little vague on some subjects, such as precisely why King Crimson's attempt at recording with Moody Blues producer Tony Clarke didn't work, saying only that it didn't work, but I can let that go in taking in the larger narrative arc covered. Lake was not the most introspective individual in rock music, based on the evidence presented in this book, but he offers enough here, in terms of stringing together events, to make this a more than worthwhile read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book for Greg Lake/ELP Fans
*by G***1 on January 9, 2021*

Book was in great shape, received quickly. The story is engaging and anyone who is a fan of Greg Lake, ELP or King Crimson will really enjoy Greg’s insight into their music, recording, touring and his personal thoughts and reactions to touring and their reception in the USA. A fan of Greg since I first heard him singing for King Crimson in 1969, and as a musician, always wished I was blessed with a voice like his...truly a legend and a Lucky Man. To watch the videos of him, Emerson and Palmer in concert is amazing and you can see the brilliance and expertise of each of them (e.g., Take A Pebble, Tarkus, etc.) as they expertly played off of each other and really loved doing it. Greg's classics like C'est la Vie, Still...You Turn Me On, From the Beginning and Lucky Man will always live on in music history as classics, and there is no better voice in all of Rock history IMHO. Miss the heart and the genius of Greg, Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer together...contemporary musicians could learn a lot from them. RIP Greg and Keith, you are missed like crazy.
