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 major artists sought him out for guitar work on 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 loved his Dan Armstrong clear bass? It's all here and much, much more.

Jimmy speaks in detail about working and touring with many various and notable artists. The stories are intriguing to say the least. This book is laced with good humor, history, success, even a few failures, but I'll warn you - once you start reading you will not be able to put it down. It's so good I've actually read it twice! Several Kindle pages can be read as well as several links to purchase the book can be found here. Highly recommend, whether you're a musician or not!
