Dance With The Devil : The Cozy Powell Story
Cozy Powell - Book - by Laura Shenton
(2020)
Ritchie Blackmore once said, "You can't get any better than Cozy, you
know. He's always up there on stage going crazy, he always pushes me on
when I look round. He always gives me that incentive to play because
Cozy won't let anybody take it easy." He wasn't wrong.
Cozy
Powell was a talented, reliable and versatile drummer. A drummer of such
calibre that he played with Jeff Beck, Rainbow, Michael Schenker,
Whitesnake, Emerson and Lake, Black Sabbath and Brian May – as well as
being a hugely in-demand session player. Before all of that, Powell
initially came to prominence with three Mickie Most-produced top twenty
singles under his own name.
An extraordinary feat for an
instrumentalist, and a drummer at that. The book has received many
excellent reviews but as Laura says, "whilst the book has generally been
received positively and also published in Japanese, I always felt it
was something of a work in progress. Since it was published, I have
continued to research as well as restructuring parts of the book that I
wasn't one hundred percent happy with.
In essence this new
version covers much more ground and in much more detail than ever."
With the addition of new photos (many of which have never been published
before), tour dates, an expansive discography, a deep dive into Cozy's
cars and racing career, as well as lots of new information unearthed on
his music career, this second edition of The Cozy Powell Story builds
massively upon the original that was published around five years ago and
is truly comprehensive and a worthy legacy to Cozy Powell.
