Step into the extraordinary world of Joe Boyd, the visionary producer and writer who orchestrated the soundscape of a generation. Starting his illustrious career in the 1960s managing Americana acts, Boyd moved to London where he produced groundbreaking albums for legendary artists like Pink Floyd, The Incredible String Band, Toots and the Maytals, and Nick Drake.
In 1979, he founded Hannibal Records, a trailblazing label at the forefront of the world music movement, releasing an exceptional catalog that transcended borders and genres. Following his acclaimed memoir, White Bicycles: Making Music in the 1960s, which chronicled his formative years, Boyd has devoted himself to penning its much-anticipated sequel, And the Roots of Rhythm Remain.
