This program includes an introduction and epilogue read by Kenney Jones.
The long-awaited memoir of the legendary drummer's life and times in the bands Small Faces, Faces, and The Who.
From the Mod revolution and the British Invasion of the 1960s, through the psychedelic era of the 1970s, and into the exuberance and excesses of stadium rock in the 1980s, Kenney Jones helped to build rock and roll as we know it. He was the beat behind three of the world's most enduring and significant bands.
He wasn't just in the right place at the right time. Along with Keith Moon, John Bonham, and Charlie Watts, Jones is regarded as one of the greatest drummers of all time, sought after by a wide variety of the best-known and best-selling artists to bring his unique skill into the studio for the recording of classic albums and songs - including, of course, The Rolling Stones' "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (But I Like It)". And Jones is no shallow rock star. He may play polo with royalty from across the globe now, but this is the story of a ragamuffin from the East End of London, a boy who watched his bandmates, friends since his teens, die early, combated dyslexia to find a medium in which he could uniquely excel, and later found a way through the wilderness years when the good times seemed to have gone and he had little to fall back on.
Kenney Jones has seen it all, played with everyone, and partied with all of them. He's enjoyed the highs, battled the lows, and emerged in one piece. Let the Good Times Roll is a breathtaking immersion into music past that leaves listeners feeling as if they lived it, too.

What a joy to find such a treasure of an auto-biography in which the many years before his time with The Who are the real focus.
The fact that we both grew up with dyslexia, finding our escape in the music, was that much more of a reason his story rang true to me.
This was a fascinating sharing of honest stories and feelings by a man who clearly looks back and knows he seized opportunities and went for it. Kenney’s self-deprecating taking of responsibility for his choices was particularly revealing of who this fellow is as a person...admirable.
For any musician and especially those who are lovers of the music coming out of England, this is a must read.
Kudos, Kenney,
Bob :-)
