Review:

An uplifting, inspiring book ... compelling and entertaining -- Mike Barnes * Mojo * English music has produced some fascinating personalities, but few are as unusual as Robert Wyatt. This excellent book captures his gentle, generous and intelligent personality, and is incidentally a very good history of the music scene in England from the sixties onwards. -- Brian Eno I loved Different Every Time ... a great biography and a terrific book -- Jason Toynbee * Senior Lecturer, The Open University * Wonderful and a huge pleasure to read ... Brilliantly researched and well told. Marcus O'Dair has written the book that Robert and Alfie deserve and I can't give higher praise than that. -- Jez Nelson * Presenter and Producer, BBC Radio 3 * An informative biography ... makes thrilling reading. -- Mark Hudson * Daily Telegraph * A fascinating biography -- Jeremy Harding * London Review of Books * Praise for Robert Wyatt 'The most eloquently lackadaisical of jazz-loving English troubadours * Guardian * If you don't believe avant-garde political music can be both playful and polemical, heartfelt and heartbreaking, you need Robert Wyatt in your life * NME * A highly idiosyncratic and intuitively melodic maverick * BBC Music * Robert Wyatt is one of the greats of English music -- Geoff Travis, Rough Trade
