Synopsis
Discover the untold stories of rock history from Earl Slick, David Bowie's legendary guitarist.
From working with John Lennon to the New York Dolls, dive into 50 years of rock 'n' roll adventures.
--
Every great rock singer needs a great guitarist by their side . . .
Earl Slick started with the best: aged 22 he was hired by David Bowie to play guitar on 1974’s Diamond Dogs tour. He never looked back.
Gracing classic Bowie albums like Young Americans and Station to Station, Slick was also in John Lennon’s band at the time of the former Beatle’s tragic murder.
Other collaborators include Mick Jagger, The Cure, Buddy Guy and Eric Clapton.
Through it all, on tour and in the studio, he lived the rock ‘n’ roll life to the hilt – until it nearly killed him.
Guitar puts us in the room and on the stage with rock’s greatest stars as Earl Slick reveals how music history was made – one lick at a time.
‘Earl is a legendary guitar star. His playing is earth, timeless and never less than stellar’ DAVID BOWIE

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A rock 'n' roll tell all from David Bowie's sideman Earl SlickYou might not have heard of Earl Slick, but you've heard him play guitar.In 1974 I got a call from a British guy called David Bowie. I wasn't really that familiar with his work, but I thought, what the hell?I'm sitting like a jerk for a couple minutes and then in walks this spooky-ass looking guy with bright red hair and no eyebrows. He was dressed the way an English rock star might think a Harlem pimp would dress. Whoa. David was definitely the strangest cat I'd ever seen, and I'd been around some off-the-wall characters. He had his guitar with him and I had a jacket with a bottle of brandy inside one pocket and my vial in the other. We drank, played for a while.and that's where it all started.That fateful day launched Earl Slick's career as rock and roll's gun for hire. Most famous for being Bowie's sideman, Slick has played with everyone from John Lennon to Eric Clapton, and with bands from The Cure to the New York Dolls.A fly on the wall for the last 50 years of rock and roll history, Earl Slick is the most famous guitarist you've never heard of. And he's got the stories to prove it.'Mean ass blues for a skinny ass white guy' - Buddy Guy Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
