Born in Slaton; Texas; Bobby Keys has lived the kind of life that qualifies as a rock n roll folktale. In his early teens; Keys bribed his way into Buddy Hollyrsquo;s garage band rehearsals. He took up the saxophone because it was the only instrument left unclaimed in the school band; and he convinced his grandfather to sign his guardianship over to Crickets drummer J.I. Allison so that he could go on tour as a teenager.Keys spent years on the road during the early days of rock ‘nrsquo; roll with hitmakers like Bobby Vee and the various acts on Dick Clarkrsquo;s Caravan of Stars Tour; followed by decades as top touring and session sax man for the likes of Mad Dogs and Englishmen; George Harrison; John Lennon; and onto his gig with The Rolling Stone from 1970 onward. Every Nights a Saturday Night finds Keys setting down the many tales of an over-the-top rock ‘nrsquo; roll life in his own inimitable voice. Augmented by exclusive contributions with famous friends like Keith Richards; Joe Crocker; and Jim Keltner; Every Nights a Saturday Night paints a unique picture of the coming-of-age of rock n roll.
