Matt and Rob Interview legendary drummer Liberty DeVitto

We talk about his 2020 book "Liberty, Life, Billy & the Pursuit of Happiness"

Liberty helped sell over 150 million albums with a band that Phil Rubin named "the Lords of 52nd Street" with Billy Joel at the lead.

**** We talk about: THE FIRST TIME LIBERTY MET BILLY JOEL WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO MEET PAUL MCCARTNEY AND RECORD WITH HIM THE SONGS "SCENES FROM AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT" AND "ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG" THE SONG LIBERTY DIDN'T LIKE TO PLAY THE UNIQUE SOUNDS USED FOR "PRELUDE / ANGRY YOUNG MAN" AND "STILETTO" THE 911 BENEFIT, VISITING GROUND ZERO THE RECOVERY SQUAD (Liberty has been sober for over 20 years!) THE SLIM KINGS (LIBERTY'S CURRENT BAND) AND MORE! (AND THINGS THAT ARE NOT IN LIBERTY'S BOOK) **** Matt and Rob grew up listening to Billy Joel so it was a great honor for us to talk to someone who was in the middle of it all back in the 70s/80s. The good, the bad and the ugly of it all. We tried to keep it positive. Liberty is such a humble, funny and sweet person it was a great time for us all. **** Liberatori "Liberty" DeVitto is an American rock drummer. He is best known for his work as a drummer for singer-songwriter Billy Joel's recording and touring band. He has also been a session drummer on recordings for other artists, including Paul McCartney, Carly Simon, Phoebe Snow, Karen Carpenter, Stevie Nicks, Rick Wakeman, Bob James, Meat Loaf, and more. He is credited as a drummer on records that have sold a combined total of 150 million units worldwide.

In 2020, Liberty released his first book, an autobiography, Liberty—Life, Billy, and the Pursuit of Happiness (pictured below). He then began exploring other literary journeys and released his first children's storybook, Love, Santa Clause—A humble-hearted Christmas story. There is much more to come as Liberty is working on an entire book series as we speak.

**** Check out Liberty's website where you can order his book: LIBERTY, LIFE, BILLY & THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS www.libertydevitto.com also check out the SLIM KINGS website at www.slimkings.com - new album in the works coming in September!
