Episode 209: ”Mal Evans” (With Ken Womack)


Listen Later

We're back with another author this week!
We were happy to have Ken Womack back on 2Legs this week! Ken needs no introduction. Anyone who is up to date on Beatles-related literature over the past 15 years knows this mans credentials. He wrote the authoritative biographies on George Martin, Solid State (Abbey Road), John Lennon 1980, All Things Must Pass Away among many others. (The Cambridge Companion to The Beatles, being Andy's personal favorite). He's also host of the Podcast "Everything Fab Four."
He is a Professor of Popular Music at Monmouth University (NJ). This week Ken gives us some insight into the life of Beatles roadie and loyal assistant Mal Evans. Mal worked with the Beatles from the Cavern days until and after the end, until his untimely passing in 1976.
Ken's book on Mal's life "Living The Beatles Legend: The Untold Story of Mal Evans" will be published in November by Dey Street Books. It will be one of the most celebrated books to be added to the Beatles literary canon. We discuss Mal's relationships with all 4 Beatles and importantly what became of Mal post-breakup.
