The autobiography of British blues-rock guitarist Kim Simmonds (1947-2022), from growing up in Wales and London, learning to play the guitar, and forming the legendary band Savoy Brown. In this candid autobiography, Kim Simmonds, legendary guitarist and founder of Savoy Brown, shares his six-decade journey in blues-rock. From discovering the blues in post-WWII Wales to leading one of Britain's most enduring bands, Simmonds recounts Savoy Brown's rise to international fame, particularly in the US, where albums such as Street Corner Talking and Hellbound Train became classics. With honesty and humor, he reflects on the ever-changing music scene, encounters with legends such as Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton, and the challenges of keeping a band together. Even after a cancer diagnosis, his passion for music never wavered. Featuring a foreword by producer Mike Vernon, MBE, and contributions from Kim's wife, Debbie, this book is filled with behind-the-scenes stories and personal reflections. A must-read for music lovers, it offers a rare glimpse into the life of a true blues-rock pioneer who played until his final note.
