A book that chronicles the life and career of Jimmy Ryan. Filled with his story about how he got into music playing guitar at a young age and
how he would become the guitarist of
The Critters, where
in time he would meet Dan Armstrong and Carly Simon. After his time at Dan Armstrong Guitars he collaborated, and recorded with Carly on her
major hits as a member of her band.
In time, other notable artists sought him out for guitar work, for both studio sessions and live performances. Want to know that unusual sound
just prior to Carly's hit song 'Your So Vain'? Or which member of the Beatles liked his Dan Armstrong bass? It's all in here and much more.
This book is laced with good humor, history, success, even a few failures - but halfway through it I begin to notice a sense of introspection
on his part that left me rivited to my chair. It's so good I've actually read it twice! You can find further information as well
as several links to purchase the book here. I highly recommend
it, whether you're a musician or not.
