The Seekers

A Best Classic Bands’ “Best Music Book of the Year”

"John Densmore wrote this book about great artists he's known in the same fashion that he plays drums and lives his life. He understands and demonstrates the value of both silence and sound, space and statement. All the while, he brings us backstage to the parties and personalities that have inspired greatness and been cautionary tales of excess. He proves that it's never too late to grow and these are teachable moments from the life of a master."—John Doe of X, and co-author of Under the Big Black Sun and More Fun in the New World

"I really enjoyed getting John's unique and insightful view of such an eclectic group of inspiring people."—Bonnie Raitt, musician and activist

"John Densmore has the heart of a seeker. Always aiming, not for the sparrow, but for the eye of the sparrow in his search for meaning. His compass took him straight to the core of the moment and of the people he was drawn to by his uncanny ability to divine wisdom throughout his fairly frenzied life. It is reaffirming and gratifying to those of us who shared some of the same friends to revisit those unique and original souls."—Olivia Harrison, author of George Harrison: Living in the Material World

“John Densmore is a true seeker, a force of good in the universe.”—Jack Black, actor and musician

"John Densmore is a beautiful human being and a gift to us all. His lessons are profound and his eloquent words and voice touch us deeply."—Ron Kovic, Vietnam Veteran and author of Born on the Fourth of July

“A joyful history lesson for music geeks.”—SPIN

“[It's] fascinating it is to read this veteran musician's thoughts... these reflections should strike a resonant chord in any aficionado of the arts.”—All About That Jazz

"A special kind of book... [this] easy-read is nothing short of magnificent."—LA YOGA
