Jamie Morrison (Stereophonics)

Wonderboy and The Life & Times of Drewford Alabama is a semiautobiographical novel by drummer and musician Jamie Morrison.

Andrew ‘Pop’ Morrison (Wonderboy of the title) is still in school when he first discovers his love of drums and drumming. On a one-way path to stardom, he gets sucked into the highs and lows of the fast-paced world of music. On tour in America in the torn silk lining of a suitcase in a hotel suite in NYC at 5.00am Pop discovers a notebook. It is the personal diary of one Drewford Alabama. The notebook is crammed with stories and poems and sketches. Wonderboy’s connection with this creative outpouring is immediate and profound, mystical and spooky, almost an epiphany, almost hallucinogenic. Feeling a sense of kinship with the mysterious Drewford Alabama, Wonderboy sets out to find him and share his story with the world.
