Wilko Johnson: Looking Back at Me - Tapa dura

Looking Back At Me is the autobiography of the guitarist Wilko Johnson, written and collated with acclaimed rock writer Zoë Howe. Within the pages of this vibrant rock 'n' roll scrapbook, the former Dr Feelgood guitarist and beloved British R&B legend tells his story in his own words for the first time, giving his unique perspective on everything from his Essex childhood and his Indian odyssey as a young hippy to the wild days of Dr Feelgood and Ian Dury and The Blockheads to his current band. Johnson also expands on his love of astronomy, art, literature, clouds, poetry, science fiction, Shakespeare... he's the Renaissance man of rock. Amid the twists, turns and tangents, Looking Back At Me features many previously unseen images of Wilko from throughout his life, as well as an array of Wilko ephemera and anecdotes from notable Wilko fans, including Robert Plant, Mick Farren, JJ Burnel, Keith Levene, Alison Moyet, Gavin Martin and Whispering Bob Harris.
