Jakko Jakszyk’s musical journey is almost as remarkable as his personal one. This vivid, entertaining and frequently moving autobiography charts his rise from aspiring teenage prog musician and would-be actor to singer and guitarist in what now looks to be the final incarnation of King Crimson, with countless unlikely stop-offs along the way.
But that’s only half the story told in Who’s The Boy With The Lovely Hair? Born Michael Curran, Jakszyk was given up for adoption as a baby, and a parallel narrative details his attempts to trace his birth parents and examine his sometimes complicated relationship with his adoptive parents, especially his Polish dad, Norbert.
