<b>Read this rollicking rock 'n' roll memoir of the last 50 years of rock history, from David Bowie's longest serving lead guitarist and legendary sideman, Earl Slick.</b><b><br><br> He's played with everyone from John Lennon to the New York Dolls - and he's got the stories to prove it.</b><p><b>----</b><br><br>'Earl is a legendary guitar star. His playing is earth, timeless and never less than stellar' DAVID BOWIE<br><br> 'You play mean ass blues for a skinny ass white boy' BUDDY GUY<br><br> 'Had a good night out did we . . .?' JOHN LENNON<br><br> Earl Slick was barely out of his teens when <b>David Bowie hired him to play guitar on the ground-breaking 1974 Diamond Dogs tour. </b>It marked the beginning of a relationship that would <b>endure through thick and thin for the next forty years. </b><br><br>Gracing classic albums like <i>Young Americans</i>, <i>Station to Station</i> and the 2013 comeback, <i>The Next Day</i>, Slick played on the tour that followed Bowie's smash hit <i>Let's Dance</i> album and was at his side for the epic Glastonbury show in 2000.<br><br> But it wasn't <i>just</i> Bowie. <br><br>The young guitarist was in John Lennon's band at the time of the former Beatle's tragic murder. <b>Other collaborations read like a roll call of rock 'n' roll royalty including</b> <b>Mick Jagger, The Cure, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Joe Cocker, Buddy Guy, Ian Hunter, David Coverdale and Eric Clapton. </b>And in the '80s he became an MTV star in his own right with the success of Phantom, Rocker and Slick.<br><br> <b>Through it all he lived the rock 'n' roll life to the hilt. Until it nearly killed him.</b><br><br> One of rock's great sidemen, Earl Slick was in the room when music history was made. <i>Guitar</i> takes us there, shining a light on superstars like Bowie and Lennon, while recounting the extraordinary story of the boy from New York City who became a real-life Johnny B. Goode.</p>
