    The Cake and the Rain A Memoir by Jimmy Webb

    Omnibus Press

    The Cake and the Rain promises to be a gripping tale of "sex drugs and rock'n'roll". Following Webb from the early 70s and across the whole of the preceding three decades that led to him weeping over the piano keys as his fingers finally remembered what they had been born to do. Jimmy Webb still plays and records like there's no tomorrow. This is the memoir of one of the greatest songwriters of all time: a man with unfathomable talent - and luck.
