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&rsquo;s most enduring bands, Simmonds recounts Savoy Brown&rsquo;s rise to international fame, particularly in the US, where albums such as&nbsp;Street Corner Talking&nbsp;and&nbsp;<i data-end="382" data-start="365">Hellbound Train&nbsp;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.&nbsp;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.
